FAE Swim Vada Bottom - Matcha

Matcha in Baby Terry — a soft green in FAE's plush Italian terry knit, cut into the most engineered bottom they make. The Vada is high-cut and seamless with asymmetrical paneling built to lift and sculpt, and a V-cut at front and back that lengthens the leg. Pair it with the Valley shorts in matching Matcha.

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.

• Cheeky, not thong. The Vada sits between the Jones (G-string) and full coverage.
• Between sizes: size UP. Seamless construction has no tie adjustment.
• Baby Terry has more body than flat nylon, so the sculpting paneling reads even stronger in this colorway than in the Chiffon.
• The V-cut front elongates the leg; the asymmetrical paneling sculpts rather than compresses.
• Upper hip is the measurement that matters.

Sustainability

Italian Baby Terry is 85% recycled ECONYL® nylon — regenerated from post-consumer waste including ocean-recovered fishing nets — with 15% spandex for recovery. The most tactile fabric FAE makes and among the highest recycled content in their range.

New with tags. Curated, not manufactured to order.

Care

• Rinse in cold fresh water immediately after every wear.
• Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Never machine wash.
• Press water out gently — never wring. Wringing crushes the terry pile.
• Dry flat in shade. Never a dryer, never direct sun.
• Avoid rough teak and concrete; terry snags more readily than flat nylon.

Who It's For

Anyone who wants a high leg without a thong back. Anyone drawn to texture over print. Anyone building a Matcha set with the Valley shorts.

Who It's Not For

Anyone wanting full rear coverage. Anyone needing tie-side adjustment — choose the Birdie. Anyone who swims hard in chlorine; terry is a resort fabric.
