What Gili's is known for
French swimwear brand founded in 2013 by Clarisse de Lacharriere and Aymeric Lacape after a trip to Indonesia's Gili Islands; eco-designed, recycled-polyester swimwear with boutiques in Paris and La Baule.
Gili's was founded in 2013 by Clarisse de Lacharriere and Aymeric Lacape, who created their first swimsuits and launched the brand after a trip to Indonesia's Gili Islands - the trip that gave the label its name, from the Indonesian word for 'island.' The brand's core business is swimwear for men, women and children, built around graphic prints and matching family sets, alongside a smaller range of ready-to-wear and beach accessories. Gili's positions itself around sustainability, describing its swimwear as eco-designed using recycled polyester and running a take-back program; it holds B Corp certification. Garments are manufactured in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The brand has physical boutiques in Paris's Marais district and in La Baule, on France's Atlantic coast. None of this matches the prior listing, which described Gili's as a Lyon-tradition silk scarf and pocket-square house - that appears to be a case of mistaken identity with an unrelated silk-accessories brand.
