Tom Ford for Gucci Collection Monogrammed Woven Swim Brief In Dark Blue With Pewter Background (has a slight metallic sheen).
A very rare piece from Tom Ford's Gucci Era. I Am Not Sure The Year Or Collection And Have Tried researching It. My best guess is Early 2000's. This was a Press Sample and the Style Was Probably Not Produced! It is an unusual fabric for a swimsuit of this style given it's woven material. I'm guessing it is a cotton/polyester blend, but don't know for sure as there is no composition tag.
Made in Italy. Dry Clean Only. Size Medium, Never Worn As Far As I Know. There is a wide elastic waist band that retains it's stretch and a drawstring that ties off to the right side (not centered). They are lined in black nylon.
These were a press/production sample which is why the tag reads "Medium" instead of having the typical numbered Italian sizing. You can see the residue of the Press Office sticker under the Designer Label. Very Good condition, with no visible flaws. The waist unstretched is 30". They have a more full backside than high cut.
