B A I N // Maillots de bain français

<p> <em>BAIN is a swimwear brand recently created in Biarritz, France. It is the shared visions of Nicolas &amp; Cindy, two friends &amp; designers inspired by their love for the 70's, arts, surf &amp; simple moments. </em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>OUR STORY</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> We (Cindy &amp; Nicolas) met in Montreal, Canada where we worked as designers. Our passion for surfing and travelling lead us on great adventures, trying to live like we were in a 70's surf movie.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I (Nicolas) wanted shorter surf shorts, like the one they use to wear in the seventies, that I could wear on any occasion. I (Cindy) wanted a feminine swimsuit, that would be comfortable and stay on while surfing or having fun in the water. </p> <p>  </p> <p> Unfortunately we could not find these swimsuits, so we made them. We created BAIN to offer you a different kind of swim wear.</p> <p>  </p> <p>   <img alt="Logo_bain" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/79977/logo_bain.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>IDENTITY</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> We create swimwear for men and women who care about style and enjoy the moment. We are a french brand with simple but genuine values. Our name, BAIN, means "bath" in french. It came naturally as it evokes feelings of freedom &amp; spontaneity. The two bathers logo, symbolize the communion between Man with Nature as well as innocence &amp; sharing</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>OUR PRODUCTS</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> -Quality</p> <p>  </p> <p> -French savoir-faire</p> <p>  </p> <p> -Respect for nature</p> <p>  </p> <p> -Timeless designs</p> <p>  </p> <p> Casual or fancy, the BAIN collection is  exclusively <strong>made in France </strong>with the highest quality materials.

Our designs celebrate retro swimwear while creating a modern aesthetic.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Beaurivage_kiss" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/80089/Beaurivage_Kiss.png"></p> <p> <em>"Beaurivage"</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Technical drawings of our swim shorts</em></p> <p> <img alt="Fiche_technique_projet_crowd_funding-01" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/80875/Fiche_technique_projet_crowd_funding-01.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Our Women's collection</strong> is inspired by nature and gracefully flirts with the 70's.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The "Belza"</strong>, a two-tone piece, is star of the 2014 collection. Its fabrics is contains LYCRA Xtra life fibers which is ten times more resistant to chlorine, oils and sunscreen than standard lycra.
