Ancora pieces are constructed with the finest imported fabrics and delicate trims. Many of the suits are similar to fine lingerie and must be cared for in the same manner.

• All swimwear should be hand washed after every use. Never twist your swimsuit to dry.

• Always stay away from direct sunlight. Never machine dry or dry clean. Be sure to lie flat or hang to dry.

• DO NOT USE WOOLITE!

• Your suit should be hand washed separately in cold water using very mild soap or specialty swimwear detergent. Never machine wash. Avoid soaking.

While ALL of the suits can be worn in pool or ocean water, they are not intended for strenuous physical water activity or long periods of time in heavily chlorinated water. Sun tan lotions, spas, and chlorinated pools may cause damage to your suit due to the harsh chemicals. Due to the nature of the dye, bright colors may fade or bleed.
