The Iconic Body Power stretch

Black Black Coffee

This bodysuit is designed in our interlock material Power Stretch, a marvel at the cutting edge of techwear, responsible and ultra high-end: ultra-soft, anti-static, and with thermoregulating properties that allow it to be worn in summer and winter, 365 days a year. In the interlock PYRATEX®power, the conventional polyamide of stretch technical clothing is replaced by micro Tencel lyocell, an artificial fiber obtained from cellulose, wood pulp.

Yes! The Body is tested and validated from 1m60 to 1m78. The material is stretchy, you will not have any problem closing the snaps and the extensions are unnecessary. If you have a small bust and you hesitate between 2 sizes, take the smaller one.

We welcome all cup sizes in the first Patine bodysuit :) The built-in bra provides support without a bra. The rounded neckline is flattering on everyone who has tried it. It even has a discreet push-up effect on smaller busts

Ha ha. Touché. We always hesitate on the word sexy. We avoided the “Bridgetown effect”, you are not a welcome fruit basket in a hotel room. But yes we assume the iconic roundness like the ballet leotards of the 90s. With an invisible bra to feel safe. Safe place body, yes yes.

Yes, absolutely, as long as it is unworn and still tagged. You have 14 days, and we always make extra pieces for you to exchange.

As with the entire Patine catalog, the price is determined based on costs.

- First, the cost of the material. The fabric is an interlock knit in Portugal made from micro TENCEL™ and recycled elastane. Beyond its significantly lower environmental impact compared to traditional technical materials like polyester or polyamide, it is an ultra-premium, thick fabric with breathable and thermoregulating properties, built to last and enhance the body.

- Then, the cost of manufacturing. The bodysuit is made in Portugal, with deliberate design and finishing choices that are expensive, but which we considered essential. For example: the inner bra is designed to avoid any unsightly tension on the sides. The seams are as beautiful inside as they are outside. The care label is cut using ultrasound for ultra-soft edges against the skin. The production cost was negotiated but still respects our commitment to ethical wages.

- Other costs: The price also includes development costs (the time and expertise of the brilliant pattern maker who worked with us, prototypes, technical testing...), transportation, and our operating expenses.

- And finally, we apply 20% VAT.

- Regarding the weight of each of these costs in the final price: Our investments in advertising, celebrity endorsements, and influencers are limited. We rarely offer discounts and we refuse to inflate our prices to cover promotional budgets.

- Important: Patine is primarily sold directly through our website and our store. If we were to move to traditional "wholesale" distribution, meaning through multi-brand retailers, we would have to increase the price to ensure fair compensation for our retail partners. As a reference, we estimate that the price of the bodysuit would rise to around €320 instead of €150, even while maintaining below-average industry margin rates.

In conclusion:

- There are as many pricing structures and pricing strategies as there are brands.

- A price is not necessarily indicative of a garment’s quality, durability, or environmental impact.

- The definition of quality differs from one brand to another. At Patine, it is based on a three-part principle: aesthetics, durability, and commitment.

- We don’t claim our price is low. However, we proudly stand by a very low cost per wear. Every day, we’re building an innovative brand model that offers a truly unique quality-to-price ratio.
