Vilebrequin Luggage Collection: The French Art of Travel

Drawing inspiration from our many years of travel with you, Vilebrequin’s first-ever women and men’s travel bag collection takes you on a voyage of craftsmanship. Whether you’re travelling over the weekend or more, our travel bags for men and women will allow you to take everything you need: your sunglasses, your beach towel and of course, your women’s swimwear or men's swim shorts!

A finely woven navy Turtle Monogram canvas, contrasting trimmings, and custom hardware reference the timeless art of French travel. 

The only tough part: deciding which swimsuits to bring in your travel bag for men and women.

Pack Your Bags For… Moorea Island!

White is mandatory in paradise—and an all-white ensemble is just what you need when visiting a corner of the world Paul Gauguin once referred to as “a sky without winter.” Find out our All in White beachwear collection: men’s white shirts, shorts and T-shirts that will give you a modern style all summer long!

Echoing the island’s emblematic tiare flowers and other-worldly white beaches, your look will really pop against the piercing blues of the lagoons.

Our top sustainable tip: you have to experience the “va’a”! Rent a traditional French Polynesian canoe or “pirogue” and explore the incredibly rich local marine heritage.

Deauville!

Escape the Parisian gray for a few days and hop on a train to Deauville―the queen of Normandy beaches, as approved by Proust and Flaubert.  

Your look for the trip? “Old school” French: red, white & blue, stripes for days, monogrammed luggage… A beret might be pushing it, though. This is not an episode of Emily in Paris.

Comfortable and elegant, our men's trousers will accompany you wherever you go. Whether you are on your way to a restaurant or going to the beach, you will always be classy with Vilebrequin!

Our top sustainable tip: venture off the beaten track and immerse yourself in nature with your own private treehouse lodge at Les Noctam’bulles an eco-domain hidden on an 18th-century farm.

Biarritz!

“When you hesitate between two beaches, Biarritz is always one of them.” Actor and director Sacha Guitry perfectly summed up how the French feel about their beloved surf spot. 

Take your style cue from the iconic Basque red architecture, Espelette peppers, and hot-blooded locals. Neutrals are definitely not the vibe. Don’t forget to bring your men’s orange polo shirt in your travel bag for men: a must-have piece of clothing for summer!

Our top sustainable tip: if you’re an ocean addict, you’ll find everything you need at Lastage Surf Shop, home to high-quality, French-made, and eco-friendly products.

Saint-Tropez (naturally)!

The light hits different in Saint-Tropez. Its iconic bell tower and earthy-hued narrow streets are radiant whatever the time of year. 

With mimosas and lemon trees on every corner, there’s only one color you should consider wearing: “Sunshine, my old friend!” to quote Brigitte Bardot in her summer anthem La Madrague… Why not wear a yellow polo to enjoy your holidays in St Tropez? Pack your men polo shirts in your men’s travel bag: stylish and comfortable, they are the perfect match for your swim shorts!

Our top sustainable tip: All that sightseeing will give you an appetite. Feast on a remarkable field-to-table menu of the finest ingredients the Mediterranean has to offer at Michelin-starred restaurant La Vague d’Or.

Marseille!

“Allez, boulègue!” or “Get a move on!” as they say in Marseille. You’ll want to spend as long as possible soaking in the energy of the South’s most authentic, high-energy, and gritty city. 

In these parts, swimwear isn’t only for the beach. Dress like a local by adding a matching shirt and a sun cap to your look. Don’t forget to bring your men’s blue swim shorts with you to take the plunge: the beach is only a few steps away! Oh, and make sure your color choices are strong―this is the city that inspired Van Gogh’s color palette, after all. 

Our top sustainable tip: at the end of a busy day, board the Eleanor Mary yacht and set sail for the Frioul Islands. Anchor just before sunset and enjoy a private dinner, followed by a swim.
