Albertine Cini Cover Up

About this find

The Albertine Cini Cover Up is a beach dress with a swingy flare and thin, adjustable straps for a barely there, nonchalant look. It measures 70cm long and comes in one size that fits true to size. The model, Fatou, is 5'10 and wears a size Small. It is made from 51% cotton and 49% viscose.

Adjustable drawstrings let you shape the dress to suit you, and the pockets give you a handy spot for small things like keys or a lip balm. Albertine is a small, French, family-run brand that has been producing swim and lingerie for over 100 years. The brand is known for sun-washed colors and sustainably-crafted fabrics, so this piece comes from a label with a long history by the water.

Slip it on over your swimsuit as you head from the sand to a seaside lunch. A little care keeps it looking its best. Rinse it well with clean water after each use, then wash it by hand or on a delicate cycle. Never leave it to dry in the sun or damp in a bag for too long.

Try to keep it away from sun creams, body oils and abrasive surfaces, since they can damage the fabric.
