Without a doubt, the one thing Vilebrequin knew it had to invest in was embroidery. Seeing motifs come to life through colour, texture and volume, is a dream come true.
BOLDNESS AND TRADITION
THE ORIGIN
OF MISTRAL
True to its St. Tropez roots, Vilebrequin named its embroidered, collector's edition swimsuit after the famous French south wind, which is capable of clearing the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving.. pure sunshine. Vilebrequin's Mistral swimsuit has brought an air of boldness and freedom to the brand's exclusive fabrics and prints since 2007. The St. Tropez-based swimsuit brand has turned to the most qualified experts, who are true masters of embroidery. There are only four ateliers in the world that embroider Vilebrequin swimsuits for men. The youngest has been in business for 40 years, while the oldest has been operating for 260 years! To say they are skilled at their craft is an understatement.
