Orlebar Brown built a business on one observation: a man on a beach holiday spends the day between water and a table and needs a garment that works at both. The answer was a tailored short with side fasteners rather than a drawstring.

Why it is the right shop for this quay

Everything else on the promenade is a house that also happens to be here. This is a product designed for precisely this day: a boat in the morning, lunch on a terrace, no time to change in between.

The five-year guarantee is worth noting because swimwear is a category where almost nobody makes a durability claim at all.

The pillar file has the rest of the promenade.

An introduction is worth more than a list

In this category the name of a shop is close to useless. The name of a person inside it is not. Tell us what you are actually trying to buy and we will point you at the door and, where we can, at the person behind it.

  • 01 A human reads it. Always.
  • 02 We name names, and we say why.
  • 03 Any commercial relationship is disclosed up front.
  • 04 Nothing you send us is sold to anyone.

Where we earn a referral fee we say so on the page it appears. Nothing in the editorial rankings is for sale. Read the charter.

What is this about?

We reply within one working day. Your details are never sold or passed on without your say-so.

Every Thursday

What opened, what closed, what quietly changed hands, and the one thing worth your Saturday. Read by roughly four hundred people who live between Alimos and Sounio, and by the people who advise them.
