BIARRITZ — The Elegance of the Atlantic Coast
The BIARRITZ swim shorts embody a vision of luxury where the art of travel meets the memory of grand French seaside resorts.
Designed as a collector's item, they evoke summers suspended between Belle Époque architecture, Atlantic waves, and salty light.
Its print reveals a living landscape: surfers glide on a moving sea while graphic palm trees, seabirds, and oceanic horizons compose a refined textile fresco.
Every detail seems hand-painted, like a scene captured between dream and memory.
Crafted from premium microfiber made from recycled polyester, BIARRITZ combines visual sophistication, absolute comfort, and contemporary technicality.
The fluid cut naturally follows movement, while the soft and breathable inner lining transforms every moment into a sensory experience.
This creation is for the man who considers clothing an extension of his universe: sunny, free, cultivated, and resolutely elegant.
More than just swim shorts, BIARRITZ becomes a fragment of escape.
A summer silhouette worn like a work of art.

Transparency
Like any garment containing synthetic fibers, this item may release plastic microfibers during washing.

Patterns & Visual Universe
The BIARRITZ pattern celebrates the sunny elegance of the French Atlantic coast through an artistic interpretation inspired by the grand seaside frescoes of yesteryear.
Amidst rolling waves, surfer silhouettes, graphic palm trees, and seaside architecture, the print composes a vibrant landscape where every detail tells a fragment of summer.
The aesthetic evokes a contemporary Toile de Jouy reinvented through the eyes of Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï:
a dialogue between French heritage, travel culture, and textile emotion.
The ivory, ocean blue, and warm sand hues create a soft and sophisticated palette, designed to capture natural light and enhance skin tones in the sun.
Every element of the pattern has been designed to transform the garment into a visual experience—a piece to be worn as much as it is admired.
With BIARRITZ, resort wear becomes narrative, artistic, and deeply sensorial.
Style Tips
The BIARRITZ swim shorts were designed as a versatile resortwear piece, capable of transitioning elegantly throughout the day.
For a contemporary Riviera silhouette
Pair them with:
- a slightly unbuttoned ivory linen shirt,
- minimalist leather sandals,
- vintage-style sunglasses,
- a few discreet gold pieces of jewelry.
A sun-kissed, natural, and sophisticated look.
For a more fashionable luxury resort wardrobe
Wear them with:
- an oversized flowy shirt,
- a premium textured tank top,
- summer loafers or contemporary espadrilles,
- a canvas or soft leather bag.
The perfect balance between relaxed and editorial refinement.
For a more artistic aesthetic
The BIARRITZ pattern pairs particularly well with:
- natural materials,
- sandy, cream, terracotta, or deep blue tones,
- minimalist silhouettes that allow the print to breathe.
The shorts then become the central piece of the look.
House Tip
True luxury is often found in controlled simplicity.
Let the pattern tell the story and opt for clean pieces around it to reveal its full visual power.
Manufacturing on Demand
At Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï, each piece is created using a thoughtful and intentional production approach.
The BIARRITZ swim shorts are made to order to avoid overproduction and promote a more conscious, rarer, and more sustainable fashion.
This method allows us to:

- preserve the exclusivity of each creation,
- and offer a more respectful approach to the production rhythm.
Each order triggers a dedicated manufacturing process with our production partners, selected for their expertise and high-quality standards.
This slow fashion vision transforms clothing into an intentional piece rather than an ephemeral consumer product.
Because today, true luxury also lies in the time dedicated to creation.
