About the Odyssey Aztec
The Odyssey Aztec is a statement in sustainable swimwear engineering. The print is a bold Aztec tribal pattern in earthy obsidian tones, drawing from the geometric visual tradition of African and pan-cultural textile heritage, applied to a high-performance recycled swimwear construction. The high-waist silhouette sits at the natural waistline to provide anatomical support, a smoothed silhouette, and secure coverage during both active water use and resort lounging.
The fabric is engineered for performance without compromise. The EU construction uses 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane at 6.78 oz per square yard. The MX construction uses 81% REPREVE recycled polyester and 19% LYCRA XTRALIFE at 7.52 oz per square yard for an elevated level of muscular compression and long-term shape retention, even after repeated exposure to salt water and sunlight. The double-layered, non-reversible design with precision zig-zag stitching ensures full opacity and structural integrity through every dive and stroke. Removable padding is included in the top, allowing you to customise your lift and silhouette. A tear-away care label eliminates irritation during extended wear.

How to Style This African Print Bikini
For the athlete: the high-waist foundation provides anatomical support during open-water swims and beach-side training. The zig-zag stitching and high-density recycled fabric hold the suit in place through dynamic movements, while the Aztec print signals strength and intention. Pair with an African print women's sports and athleisure piece for a coordinated poolside-to-beach transition.
For the traveller: the high-waist bottoms offer sophisticated coverage for coastal explorations, and the top layers under a semi-sheer linen tunic as a bold cropped separate. Quick-dry UPF50+ fabric means one set carries you from a morning salt-water dip to a cliffside lunch without changing.
For the urbanist: style the high-waist bottoms with a structured silk wrap or an oversized black poplin shirt for a metropolitan poolside moment. The deep obsidian base and intricate earthy motifs create a sophisticated, art-house aesthetic. Finish with minimalist gold hardware and sleek slides.
Complete the look: pair with the ASAKE-OGE African print women's accessories collection for bags and finishing pieces that match the cultural energy of the Odyssey Aztec.
