Vintage Floral Rubber Swim Cap | Made in Spain | Mid-Century Sculptural Design

A striking original vintage swim cap crafted in textured black rubber, featuring sculptural floral appliqué details in muted pastel and jewel tones.

Made in Spain, this cap exemplifies mid-century European swimwear design, where practicality met bold, decorative form. The raised floral elements and tactile surface give the piece a distinctly sculptural quality, making it as compelling displayed as it is worn.

Vintage swim caps of this calibre were produced to withstand water while maintaining style — today, they are increasingly sought after by collectors, stylists, and costume archives for their dramatic visual impact.

A rare and beautifully preserved example of early swim fashion.
