Swimwear label Solid & Striped collaborated with Emily Oberg's label Sporty & Rich to launch a line of limited-edition athletic-inspired swimwear. This new release marks the continued expansion of Solid & Striped since its debut retail pop-up opening in Florida in 2020.
The capsule includes two athletic 80s-inspired ribbed swimwear silhouettes. The first of the two is a thin-strapped maillot, and the second is a racerback bikini top with high-cut matching bottoms. Both styles are available in navy and cream colorways. Sporty & Rich's "Health & Wellness Club" logo is featured on each of the signature suits, thereby marking the limited-edition capsule.
The collaboration is launched exclusively on Oberg's e-commerce page and will run through May 22nd, until it is rereleased on Solid & Striped's online shop.
