I don’t know about you but I haven’t worn a swimsuit once this summer. Mind you—I’m not complaining about the weather (I find that behavior so tiresome), I’m just saying.

There may be some of you who don’t even own a swimsuit. If that’s you, and if you’d like to change your bikini status, you might be thinking about the locally produced line Teu.

Now think about this: Summer styles are currently 30 percent off. The Seattle-designed line is shown by appointment only in owner Cristina Silva’s Madrona studio. It occurs to me now that ‘by appointment only’—that is, one at a time with the whole place to yourself—is pretty much an ideal way to try on tiny triangles of strappy stuff.
