Rudi Says: “I wanted to design something as close as possible to being nude but covering everything that was not allowed to be shown.” And so was born the Original Thong. This streamlined, cut-across-the-hip thong bottom is as pure and daring as it was during its 1974 debut. Combining clean curves with comfort and support, it's already a wear-everywhere essential in bold Black and stand-out Ivory. Minimal material, maximum exposure and graphic impact just where you want it - framing your finest assets. All you need to pack for a perfect tan. Rudi Says: Less is always more. Free International Shipping on all orders.  


74% Polyamide, 26% Elastane

Made in Italy

This swimsuit can be machine washed on a delicate cycle, however, hand-washing is recommended as the best method to preserve the quality of your garment.
