Our founders
Originally from Corsica, I have a special connection with the Mediterranean. The smell of the scrubland, the wild nature, the endless blue, a vital need to recharge my batteries. My encounter with Apnée was love at first sight.
The world of Apnée gives pride of place to the underwater world, like Jacques Mayol and Enzo Maiorca, legendary free divers and heroes of the “Big Blue”, whose extraordinary destinies never cease to inspire us.
The idea was born from a deep desire: to transcribe the magnificence of the oceans through committed and responsible men's swimwear pieces, recognizable by their graphic prints.
Our team
After nine months of intensive research, three trips to the north of Portugal and collaborations with artisans, Apnée was born in May 2017, revisiting men's swimwear. First, 100% recycled swim shorts designed for summer adventurers, promising timeless basics. Then, over time, the brand enriched its collections with beachwear pieces, inspired by sunny stopovers.
The adventure continues thanks to a team of passionate Ocean lovers: Eulalie, Nicolas, pillars since the beginning of the adventure, but also Justine, Teresa, Flavio, Antonio, Océane, Axel, Lucie, Sebastien, Enis.... and nothing would be possible without the support of our loyal customers who convince us not to give up even when it's difficult.
MAKING WASTE INTO A RESOURCE
Our mission: to create beautiful clothes that last over time, but above all are environmentally friendly.
But how can we reduce our environmental impact?
The idea was born to create 100% recycled swimsuits from plastic bottles collected in the Mediterranean Sea and on beaches. In this way, we turn waste into a resource.
Ecology and the preservation of the Big Blue are today at the heart of our concerns, and guide our daily creative approach to offer you season after season new committed and responsible pieces.
LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE
Our obsession: the impeccable quality of our clothes and attention to detail. More than a know-how, Apnée is a state of mind.
Our products are designed in France and shaped in the North of Portugal in a region recognized for its expertise and know-how.
At Apnée, nothing is left to chance, always with the ambition to go further in terms of quality, comfort and elegance.
DIVE IN
Apnée is the promise of timeless clothing, collections punctuated by sunny stopovers, for Ocean Lovers in search of great thrills.
