FAE Swim Jones Bottom - Gold Metallic
Product Details
Liquid gold, cut to almost nothing. The Jones is FAE's Brazilian thong — thin fixed side straps, minimal coverage, gold embossed rear plate — in Italian metallic nylon. Pair it with the Maya, Honey or Lumi in matching gold, or break it against something plain.

Fit & Sizing — Measure, Don't Guess
FAE is an Australian label. A FAE Medium is a US 4–6. A Vitamin A Medium is a US 8–10 — same letter, four US sizes apart, on the same website.
| Size | US | AUS | Upper Hip | Lower Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium | 4–6 | 10 | 34" | 37" |
- Between sizes: size UP. The Jones has fixed side straps with no tie adjustment — there is no margin to correct a size that runs small. If you're unsure, the Birdie in the same gold has tie sides and solves this.
- Coverage, honestly: this is a G-string. Minimal rear coverage, thin sides.
- Metallic runs firmer than FAE's ECONYL colorways — less give at the same size.
- Upper hip is the measurement that matters — that's where the side straps sit.
Materials
Italian metallic nylon with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. Not ECONYL® — FAE's regenerated-nylon program covers their prints and Baby Terry styles, and we name the actual fabric rather than let a brand-level claim cover one that doesn't carry it.
New with tags. Curated, not manufactured to order.
Care
- Rinse in cold fresh water immediately after every wear. Chlorine is the enemy of a metallic finish.
- Hand wash cold, mild detergent only. Never machine wash.
- Press water out gently — never wring. Creasing dulls the finish permanently.
- Dry flat in shade. Store flat. Avoid hot tubs entirely.
Who It's For
Anyone who wants minimal tan lines. Confident Brazilian-cut wearers. Anyone building a full gold set. Golden-hour rather than all-day pool.
Who It's Not For
Anyone wanting moderate or full rear coverage. Anyone between sizes — choose the Birdie. Daily chlorine swimmers. Anyone seeking recycled fibre.
