Product Insights
The Versace Greca Waistband Swim Short, originally 495 CAD (now out of stock), is available at 199.95 CAD—60% off retail and 50% below the lowest international sale. In-house production ensures house-level quality, including a gold metallic silicone Greca print that resists water better than embroidery. Tradeoff: leg openings are tight across sizes, so sizing up loosens the waist. Care requires cold gentle wash and hang drying to protect the pattern and quick-dry fabric. Built-in mesh lining supports active swimming.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Greca Waistband Swim Short: Choose this if you want a short, statement-making designer swim trunk: it has a 3-inch inseam ending above mid-thigh, a quick-dry 100% polyester shell with built-in mesh lining, and an elastic waistband in black with a gold Greek-key pattern and a centered Medusa medallion. It comes with a small storage pouch, slant pockets, and Italian construction, offered in sizes 3 through 7. Note the very short cut and bold logo waistband suit wearers who want a standout look rather than a low-key or longer-length option.[1,2,3] | Greca Waistband Swim Brief: Choose this if you want a low-rise swim brief with a statement logo look, featuring Versace's iconic Medusa emblem framed by a gold Greca motif on the elastic waistband, plus an acanthus leaf print on the interior lining. It is made in Italy from a stretch ECONYL® recycled nylon blend (78% recycled nylon, 22% spandex) that the retailer describes as featherlight, and it comes with a small storage pouch, in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that this is a brief cut that covers the buttocks with minimal leg coverage, so it suits shoppers comfortable with that silhouette.[4,5,6,7,8] | Barocco Elastic Waistband Swim Brief: Choose this if you want a low-rise Versace swim brief with a bold yellow-gold baroque print on black, made in Italy from quick-dry recycled polyester with elastane and a recycled nylon lining. The elastic waistband has a drawcord and a small storage pouch is included, making it suited to the beach and pool. Note it offers narrow rear coverage and comes only in Black, in sizes 6 and 7.[9,10,11,12] |

QC on Versace Greca border swim shorts: gold color is accurate on this batch
These are really nice! An issue with a lot of reps is they make the color yellow and not golden (like retail is). This one is as gold as it gets. Great rep imo, solid buy
