SUSTAINABILITY
The Westlake is made using SEAQUAL®—a certified yarn produced from marine plastic recovered through global clean-up programmes. Every pair helps reduce ocean waste while supporting a circular model of design. It's a small step, but a meaningful one—for those who believe clothes should be made well and made with purpose.
ORIGINS
Swimwear has always walked the line between function and freedom. From the heavy wool suits of the 1920s to the tailored nylon trunks of the jet-set 60s, each era has brought its own take on beachwear.
The Westlake draws on the practicality of mid-century lifeguard uniforms and military training shorts—pared-back, rugged, and made for movement. It’s a timeless shape, reimagined with modern materials and a mission to do better.
