This French Swimwear Label Is So Good, I'm in Danger of Spending £500 on Bikini
I have a four-day beach holiday booked for August, and there are six swimsuits in my basket right now from French brand Yse. No, I'm not going to buy six swimsuits, but the problem with my new swimwear obsession is that everything from Yse is so perfect that it makes decision-making very difficult. It is a French lingerie brand founded by Bérengère Lehembre and Clara Blocman-Petit who explain the brand's aim for the collections on the website: "We wanted to create lingerie to suit us: to reflect our femininity and our personality. Unpadded and refined whilst still delicate and feminine: Our lingerie is beautifully sexy without ever being too much." The bras and pants are certainly beautiful, but it's the swimwear section that really has my attention. Yse also collaborates with Sezane on all its swimwear—which always sells out almost instantly. Keep scrolling to see and shop the six Yse swim pieces in my basket right now.
