HOW IT BEGAN
Small irritations, at the wrong moments
There was no shortage of swim shorts, yet the same problems kept coming back. A mesh liner that itches and chafes, sand where you don't want it, and shorts that feel uncomfortable the moment you step out of the water.
So we decided to start again. Not from fashion, but from a question: how do you take those irritations away, so you can simply enjoy the moment?
WHAT WE DID DIFFERENTLY
A soft lining instead of a mesh liner
The mesh liner made way for a soft, integrated lining. It sits close without pinching, gives support where it's needed and stays comfortable even when wet.
The lining is made from 85% polyamide and 15% elastane and stays inside the leg in normal wear.
Elastic waistband
Stays up and keeps sand out
The wide elastic waistband sits comfortably, stops the shorts slipping down and keeps sand out while you swim, sit and move.
PATENTED · NL 2035067
From prototype to patent
The Signature Shorts didn't happen overnight. Various prototypes, materials and constructions came first. We test, wear, listen to feedback and adjust where needed.
We applied for a patent in June 2023. It was granted in December 2024: Dutch patent NL 2035067. This protects the construction of The Signature Shorts.
Production
Made in Porto, Portugal
We produce in the Porto region, working directly with our production partners. That way we can assess materials, fit and construction together and keep improving. From the first sample to final production.
