Created in Saint-Tropez in 1971, by a man sketching a design for trunks on a checked table cloth, Vilebrequin is the name in luxury swimwear.
Meaning ‘crankshaft’ in French, the brand is synonymous with colourful and practical swimwear.
Made out of spinnaker canvas, a quick drying fabric in sun and wind, the quality of the shorts is plain to see.
One- piece mesh lining makes them comfortable to wear, and they feature such details as a button hole stitched into the back pocket which avoids the ballooning effect usually experienced when entering the water in other shorts.
The original model designed in the 1971, called Moorea, is still in production today.
Children’s swimming shorts are also available following the 1995 creation of the ‘like father like son’ concept, for children between 2 and 12 years.
Their quality and unique colourful patterns makes Vilebrequin the swimming short benchmark.
