Hook, Line & Style
Look good while paying it forward in the Angelfish bikini. Entirely crafted from Italian ECONYL® fabrics, a
regenerated nylon fibre made from abandoned fishing nets and other nylon waste, the earth-friendly swimwear offers a sexy silhouette that’s also UPF 50+.

Wave Check
As a surfer I’m always on the hunt for swimwear that marries function with fashion. That’s why the Victoria wetsuit is a revelation. Shaped from electric yellow SPF 50+ fibre-lite neoprene, the suit features clever extras like a zip pocket on the lower back and daringly high-cut hips for a sartorial sense of adventure.
