LINEN, ACTUALLY
Linen at the beach, sure! But linen you can actually bathe in? You’ll never have to make the distinction again thanks to a pioneering swim short fabric from Vilebrequin—new for Summer 2025.
THE 100% LINEN SWIMSUIT
Ancient, noble, ultra-refined: linen has long been a staple of summer tailoring. But not ideal for plunging into the waves sans outfit change. That was before.
Vilebrequin’s latest swimwear innovation rewrites the rules of beachwear. Introducing a short like no other: lightweight, water-friendly, high-performance, and effortlessly versatile for all your vacation rendez-vous.
Following pure Merino wool and silk swim trunks, linen marks a bold new act in Vilebrequin’s journey to reintroduce natural fibers into contemporary high-end swimwear always with a timeless, tailored touch.
Gentlemen, your hybrid awaits.
PRESERVES ITS GOOD LOOKS
Vilebrequin’s interest in linen goes beyond mere style: it’s hard to resist a fabric that’s breathable, naturally cooling,and incredibly resistant (almost like steel!).
Grown in France and Belgium, flax crops require little more than sunshine and rainwater to thrive, reducing overall pollution, water consumption, and pesticide use. With linen, there’s zero risk of shedding microplastics into the oceans.
“By innovating with natural heritage fabrics such as linen and wool in unexpected ways, we get the best of both worlds: true and lasting elegance that’s much better for the oceans. It’s a constant theme at Vilebrequin: faire du beau qui dure.*”
Roland Herlory, Vilebrequin CEO
*Beauty and quality—uncompromisingly.
MEET MAURICE
Your favorite Vilebrequin linen bermuda shorts have a new rival, and he does it all: pool, beach, lunch. Developed in collaboration with a 150-year-old Italian linen specialist, our latest swimwear addition involved a series of weaving tests to achieve a water-resistant textile with the same exceptional quality and feel on the skin you’d expect from a classic Vilebrequin Caroubis linen shirt.
