Summer holiday plans may have been thwarted, but a time for beaches and swimming pools will come again. Be prepared.
Whereas, in simpler times, summer might have held the promise of sunbathing on some faraway beach, we now find ourselves confined to our own homes, with only limited opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather the season brings. Still, we know that these necessary limitations are only temporary, and a time for beaches, lakes, rivers, and swimming pools will – sooner or later – come again, so it pays to be prepared.
As part of our High Summer collection, we have produced a new range of swimwear, working with makers in Italy to create a selection of shorts with a timelessly stylish appeal. The shorts are made from a quick-drying and durable microfibre fabric, which is perfect whether you’re lounging poolside, or making a daytrip to the beach. To give them a classic, mid-century feel, the shorts have been designed with a slightly shorter inseam, also allowing for a greater freedom of movement.
Each pair is printed with a classic design from our archives. Motifs you might expect to see applied to one of our handmade silk ties have been repurposed, from summer-ready beach and palm tree designs to a classic medallion print.
So, while that trip to Positano may be put on hold for now, when normality resumes you’ll be ready.
