Underwire Riptide Rope Bikini Top - Mae | Sun Forged Gold
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
The Mae Underwire Top in Sun Forged Gold is where structure meets shimmer—ethereal, sculpted, and luminous against the skin. Draped, light-catching fabric forms softly contoured cups, supported by underwire for an elevated, flattering fit with exceptional support. Signature riptide rope straps, twisted in gold and silver, trace the shoulders with a subtle glint and adjust for a custom feel, while a back clasp keeps everything secure. Part of the Sea of Sirens collection, it’s a piece that feels both powerful and weightless—like something shaped by the tides and kissed by the sun.
