Product Insights
The Woodland Flower And Strawberry Swim Trunk from Vilebrequin carries the brand's seduction origin story—born in Saint-Tropez in 1971 when colorblind founder Fred Plysquel created the trunks for Yvette, who still selects all print colors. Priced at $99.95 CAD (78% off $450), it delivers the full Vilebrequin heritage: artisanal 49-step construction with hand-assembled drawstrings, a peachskin finish that feels soft like cotton, resists chlorine and UV, and dries quickly via capillary channels. Integrated mesh lining and drainage eyelets prevent chafing, clinging, and ballooning for all-day comfort. The same premium materials and lifetime Paris repair service (restoring trunks up to 20 years old) mirror $350+ models. Tradeoff: the slim fit with 6-inch inseam runs small—size up from measured waist—and machine-washing in a mesh bag protects the finish and reduces microplastics. Certified 100% recycled polyester and polyamide (OEKO-TEX Standard 100).
Verified claims
- Origin story
- Vilebrequin is French for 'crankshaft'; founder Fred Prysquel created the trunks in Saint-Tropez in 1971 to court his future wife Yvette.
- Color design
- Founder is colorblind; wife Yvette selects all print colors.
- Craftsmanship
- Producing a pair requires nearly 49 steps, including a hand-assembled drawstring and reinforcement tacks at stress points.
- Value
- At $99.95 CAD (78% off $450 CAD), this trunk delivers Vilebrequin's full heritage.
- Repair
- In-house repair service can restore trunks up to 20 years old.
- Feel
- Micro-nap gives a soft cotton-like feel and a thin air layer that takes the edge off post-swim chills.
- Quick-dry
- Capillary channels spread moisture for faster drying than bare polyester.
- Durability
- 100% recycled polyester resists chlorine and UV; washing in a mesh bag preserves the peachskin finish.
- Size accuracy
- Cut runs small; if your waist measures 33 inches, size up to Large.
- Fit
- Slim fit with a 6-inch inseam and integrated mesh lining for a snug, tailored feel.
- Quality
- The peachskin finish, recycled polyester, and Moroccan manufacture are the same foundations used on $350 USD Vilebrequin trunks.
- Comfort
- Peachskin finish, mesh lining, and drainage eyelets prevent chafing, clinging, and ballooning for all-day comfort.
- Care
- Machine-wash in mesh bag to protect peachskin and reduce microplastics
- Certification
- 100% recycled polyester and polyamide are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.
- Drainage design
- Back eyelets, mesh lining, and peachskin fabric prevent ballooning, sheerness, and accelerate drying.
- Pocket drainage
- The vertical slit pockets do not have mesh lining or drainage holes; water drains through two back eyelets, which prevents ballooning when emerging from the water.

Request for detailed measurements of Vilebrequin replica shorts
Hi there, great post! Could you give me some info on how you searched for these so I can try to find additional pairs? Also, if you've got a minute and can grab measurements on the Vilebrequin and possibly the Polo trunks I'd appreciate it! (Looking specifically for waist, inseam, leg opening, outseam.)

Criticism of Vilebrequin's high price and mention of cheaper alternatives
Just looked up vilebrequin and… Jesus. People out here paying real outfit money for swim suits 😂. Honestly, if you have to even consider cost at all, that probably isn’t a brand for you. For cheaper swimwear, I’m a fan of chubbies. I’ve also got a pair from vineyard vines that I really like.
