CHLORE Reinvents the Iconic SAINT-GERMAIN with Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Fibre

CHLORE réinvente l’iconique SAINT-GERMAIN avec la fibre Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™

Choosing an eco-conscious swimsuit without compromising on performance, support or elegance is now possible. At CHLORE, it is a commitment that guides every step of our creative process and materials innovation. From our beginnings, we have imagined technical swimsuits that combine elegance, chlorine resistance and freedom of movement. Our INTENSE collection embodies this vision, with designs created to support swimmers throughout their training sessions, season after season. Today, we are taking this commitment even further with the integration of Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fibre. Discover how this innovation transforms our iconic Saint-Germain swimsuit.

Eco-Conscious Swimwear: Rethinking Durability Without Compromising Performance

In the world of swimming, a swimsuit's durability goes beyond the origin of its materials. It is also measured over time, through its ability to retain its shape, elasticity and fit, swim after swim.

Regularly exposed to chlorine, UV rays and body movements, a technical swimsuit must meet high standards without compromising on comfort or style. Resistance to repeated wear is essential for supporting swimmers over time. At CHLORE, this philosophy is reflected in our choice of innovative textile materials, carefully selected for their quality, durability and technical performance.

Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™: A New Generation of Fibre

What if the future of swimwear also depended on the origin of its fibres? With the integration of Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™, we are introducing a new generation of elastane into selected designs from our INTENSE collection.

According to a comparative life cycle assessment conducted by The LYCRA Company, this new fibre also offers the potential to reduce its carbon footprint by up to 44% compared with conventional fossil-based fibre.

Elasticity, support, comfort and freedom of movement: the performance qualities we value remain at the heart of this evolution.

Technical Swimwear, Uncompromising Performance

Innovation at the heart of every swim. Because every swimming session deserves an exceptional swimsuit, we pay particular attention to the durability of our materials. A swimsuit must withstand the intensity of repeated training sessions, follow the body's natural lines, support every stroke and retain its qualities over time.

The fabrics selected for our designs incorporating the new Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fibre retain the essential properties of a high-performance technical swimsuit:

  • Chlorine resistance: A material designed for lasting wear, even with intensive pool use.
  • Support and elasticity: Long-lasting support, created to follow the body's movements.
  • Resistance to external elements: Excellent resistance to UV rays, sunscreen and body oils.
  • Shape retention: A silhouette designed to preserve its structure and fit over time.

Designed to withstand intensive training, over time and across seasons, our SAINT-GERMAIN swimsuits allow every swimmer to enjoy a consistently high-performing swimsuit, season after season.

SAINT-GERMAIN: Our Iconic Swimsuit, Reinvented

An instantly recognisable silhouette. A design defined by clean lines that enhance the body with precision. Created more than ten years ago, we have chosen one of our most iconic pieces to introduce these two new developments: the SAINT-GERMAIN.

Discover how Renewable LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fibre is expressed in two new colourways:

BEAT:

A vibrant shade inspired by rhythm, energy and self-expression. A bold colour for swimmers who love to combine performance with character.

OLTREMARE:

A deep blue evoking the vastness of the aquatic world. An elegant and timeless interpretation of the world of swimming.

Two new interpretations of our iconic Saint-Germain, designed for those seeking a swimsuit that is both technical and exceptionally elegant.
