Social media users are baffled after a swimsuit priced at $380 sold out despite buyers being advised against wearing the item in a pool.
In a description on the website for Selfridges department store that stocks the 'Sparkling swimsuit with a Gucci logo' in the UK, the designer brand admits low down on the e-commerce page that wearers shouldn't take a dip in the bathing suit.
Instead they should think of the item as of more of tight top free of seam lines around the waist.
A Gucci swimsuit priced at $380 sold out despite buyers being advised against wearing the item in a pool
Creative Director Alessandro Michele recommends saving the bathing suit for pairing with 'skirts, denim and anything high-rise' but called 'escapades to the seaside' in it 'criminal'
The Gucci website explained that the nylon fabric is not compatible with chlorine
'Creative Director Alessandro Michele is an ideas man, but with an archive like Gucci's, how could you resist the temptation to revisit some old favorites?' the text reads.
'This swimsuit is printed loud and proud with the reclaimed vintage Gucci logo complete with sparkle and slight fading for authenticity. Saving yours for escapades to the seaside is criminal – wear it with skirts, denim and anything high-rise.'
Made of ivory sparkling Lycra, 80 percent nylon and 20 percent elastane, the self-tie halter all-in-one is off limits for refreshing dips in resort swimming pools because it's not best compatible with the chemical element that helps keep public pools sanitary.
'Due to the nature of this particular fabric, this swimsuit should not come into contact with chlorine,' Gucci's own website warns too.
Many bikini briefs are made from nylon and Lycra blends but polyester is known to be the best fabric for holding color and therefore lasts longer on a swimsuit.
But it hasn't stopped designer fans buying the item as it has sold out online despite critique
Wearers have been living on the edge by going near water but keeping the swimwear dry
The vintage style has been popular on social media but many have bashed the designer brand
The Italian brand's advisory has gotten social media users riled up with some using the opportunity to make jokes.
EggOnYourFaceBook tweeted: 'I guess this is how 'shallow' people have become.'
Tolulope was disappointed in fans of the brand for purchasing the swimwear: 'Gucci is straight wild'n with this bulls**t ya can't tell me they Not. Look at the description ..'to get the best from this item we advise that you do not wear to swim' BUT it's a swim suit ... and it's sold out .. y'all dumb buying this for clout.'
Twitter users joked about the expensive swimsuit that buyers cannot swim in
Many addressed the brand directly for suggesting the item not be immersed in water
Social media users have been talking about it for weeks but it hasn't affected its success
Earlier this month social media influencer and comedian White Yardie made light of the situation in a video where he said the brand is taking advantage of people after he saw the price quoted as $490.
'That's supposed to make you swim under water without holding your breath,' he said in a video rant.
'$490 you're supposed swim in it beat every swimmer in the world. You're supposed to be the Olympic champion of the world.
'Not even sharks are supposed to bite you in that. That's supposed to shark-proof. Sharks are supposed to see you and be scared of you.
'That better teach me to swim I can't swim. If you cannot swim and buy that, that's supposed to help you to swim.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
