Our Brands
Gottex is an iconic brand, recognizable to women with discerning taste. Since its establishment in 1956, the brand has had a strong presence on swim floors of the most exclusive retailers in the world, across 70 countries. It offers sophisticated, upscale swimsuits and matching resort wear and coverups for the modern consumer who believes in a complete look for her swimwear ensembles. The founder and creator of Gottex, the late Mrs. Leah Gottlieb, created the concept of ‘Lifestyle Dressing’ in swimwear. Gottex has been associated with high quality, fashion swim and glamourous après-swim, revolutionizing the swim market by being the first to print on lycra ®. The brand is renowned for its detailed prints, vibrant color palettes and jewelry-like hardware.
The Gottex collection is designed for all women, from classic to modern, with the Gottex twist on glam and sophistication. The collection includes best-selling styles alongside many new design ideas, silhouettes, fabrics, textures and prints.
The collection is divided into three subcategories: The Essentials, Classics and Modest.
The Essentials– is a more conservative category for a woman who wants the Gottex essence at an obtainable price point. The Essentials focuses on fit and control while maintaining a fashionable look.
Classics- designed for the classic woman who wants the Gottex essence with a mix of traditional prints and silhouettes, while offering a range of modern elevated solids in fashionable color pallets. The designs are classic, yet fresh and in line with fashion trends.
Gottex Modest – The Gottex Modest collection targets women, who require more modesty and coverage when going to the beach, but still want a fashionable look. Prints are taken from the main Gottex collections and used on more conservative silhouettes. The collection is built in a way that each woman can choose as much coverage as she needs. There are a variety of styles in this collection, ranging from short sleeve swim tops in a variety of designs, to short skirts, midi skirts and even long leggings, so that women can mix and match individual items in the collection to build the look she needs. The Modest collection also appeals to health-conscious customers who desire additional sun coverage while still being glamourous and fashion forward.
In addition to the 3 main subcategories, Gottex also offers their smaller CONTOUR and COUTURE categories.
The Contour category offers shapewear styles that focus on fit and control, while maintaining fashionable looks. The Contour styles shape the body through technical fabrications high in lycra® content and feature strategic draping elements to camouflage where needed.
The Couture category is an exclusive and prestigious swimwear collection designed for the chic modern woman, using the most unique and luxurious Italian fabrics, embroideries and techniques to make you feel exceptionally glamorous and elegant in both swimwear and beachwear.
