The two brands collaborate to launch exclusive beach wear collection
Sant’Agata Bolognese/London, 2 August 2024 – What happens with the people who design spaceships for the road come together with the people who bring Saville Row to the sea? A swim, beach and resortwear capsule inspired by the might and beauty of Automobili Lamborghini, designed by Orlebar Brown. Automobili Lamborghini and Orlebar Brown share a love of design, a passion for precision, an obsession with technical details and a strong focus on sustainability. The customers of both of our brands are discerning and appreciate the very best.
The capsule collection launches globally on August 2, 2024 and comprises swim shorts, resort shirts and trousers, polos, t-shirts and luxurious towel. Each designed with inspiration from details of Automobili Lamborghini cars that owners and fans will appreciate. Bright, iconic colours matched with chic dark shades for elevating holiday style.
Swim shorts feature a mix of prints and jacquard designs using the legendary hex of Automobili Lamborghini exhausts and vents. The designs feature on classic Orlebar Brown tailored swim shorts as well as the new Bulldog Drawcord style with dual branded, gold effect drawcord ends.
The hex design is interpreted onto a signature on polo shirts and t-shirts as well as a technically beautiful Howell two-tone towelling resort shirt. The same design is applied to the beach towel, rounding out the capsule.
The collaboration between Automobili Lamborghin and Orlebar Brown will last for three years, launching new collections in the summer of 2025 and 2026. The first of these collections launches globally on August 2, 2024 in Orlebar Brown stores and online stores across UK, USA, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, UAE and Australia. Select retailers worldwide, including Mr. Porter, will also carry the collection. The collection will also be available at Automobili Lamborghini’s store at their HQ in Sant'Agata Bolognese as well as lamborghinistore.com
