Design Details
Description
Clean summer dressing redefined through intelligent versatility.
The Raphael Swim Short was designed around one simple idea — modern summer clothing should move effortlessly between environments without requiring compromise.
Combining a refined tailored silhouette with lightweight quick-drying performance, it delivers a cleaner and more sophisticated interpretation of luxury swimwear designed for modern travel, leisure and everyday summer dressing.
Responsibly made in Portugal
The Khaki Raphael Swim Short offers a softer and more natural interpretation of modern summer dressing. Inspired by timeless resort wear and relaxed tailoring, it was designed to pair effortlessly across neutral wardrobes while maintaining a refined and elevated appearance.
WHY IT EXISTS
Most swim shorts are designed purely for the beach.
The Raphael Swim Short was created to solve that problem.
Designed with a tailored appearance and elevated construction, it transitions effortlessly between swimming, lunch, travel, city environments and evening settings without sacrificing comfort, functionality or sophistication.
The result is a garment built around versatility rather than limitation.
