The Carmen String Bottom - Orchidaea
The Carmen is our take on the timeless tie-side bikini bottom. Designed with adjustable side ties and a flattering skimpy cut, it offers a personalized fit that moves with you. Whether worn higher on the hips or lower on the waist, the Carmen is made to be styled your way.
Double-lined in premium Italian recycled fabric, it combines barely-there comfort with thoughtful construction for a fit that feels as effortless as it looks. Equal parts playful and refined, it's the bottom you'll pack for every escape.
Orchidaea Print Note
Every Orchidaea piece is one of a kind.
Because our fabric is printed on a large scale before it's cut and sewn, no two swimsuits are exactly alike. Each piece captures a different section of the original hand-painted artwork, making your suit completely unique. The placement shown in product photos is an example only and will vary from garment to garment.

Size Chart

Fabric Note
All SALT VICE swimwear is crafted from premium regenerated fabrics. If you prefer your swimwear to have a little more stretch and contour to your body, we recommend choosing an Orchidaea suit. While all of our swimwear is made using regenerated materials, our Orchidaea print is crafted with REPREVE® fabric, giving it an exceptionally buttery-soft hand feel with extra flexibility that comfortably molds to your shape.
