A word from the founders
Gili's celebrates its 10th anniversary!
Ten years of escape, ten years of style, ten years of adventure. From our very first swim shorts to a full collection for the whole family, we’ve charted our course through the waves and inspirations from around the world.
Vibrant prints designed to brighten your summers. Perfect fits tailored to all body types. Responsible fabrics, crafted in a short supply chain in Portugal.
Today, our men’s and boys’ designs are made from 100% recycled polyester. And to celebrate our 10th anniversary, a new destination: GILI’S is opening its 4th boutique in Aix-en-Provence!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us. Ten years by your side, and this is just the beginning. Ready to dive into new sun-kissed horizons?
Clarisse & Aymeric
A short circuit
We create parts in small quantities that last a long time and whose materials are 100% European. For their manufacture, we rely on the short circuit. The one that makes sense and has the least impact on the planet: Spain - Portugal - Morocco.
Eco-responsible fabrics
In phase with the world around us, GILI'S is even more committed in 2020. How do we do this? By using an innovative material, the result of several years of research: recycled polyester fibers. Obtained from plastic bottles and old polyester clothes, they are 80% less energy consuming and emit 70% less carbon dioxide than ordinary polyester. Because we don't do things by halves, we have switched the majority of our swimwear line to recycled polyester. Our fabrics are certified OEKO-Tex and Global Recycled Standard.
Organic cotton
A large part of our ready-to-wear is made of organic cotton. The one that respects the skin and the planet at the same time. Quality organic cotton selected with common sense and high standards. The one that gives our ready-to-wear line even more qualities and that covers with softness the moments out of the water.
A green packaging
Because the packaging of what you wear and what you give away is often harmful to the planet you love, at GILI'S we are careful about how we package your swimwear. We have chosen to trade our traditional plastic packaging for recycled and recyclable plastic.
Our RE-USE Program
A unique program that allows us to recover your old polyester swimwear and reintroduce it into the recycling system to reproduce new swimwear.
More than a know-how, a trademark
100% European fabrics that resist everything and dry quickly.
The fabrics of our swimsuits have been carefully selected and worked on so that they do not wear out over the course of the seasons, exhibitions and swimming in treated or salt water.
Because men, children and women have very different skills, we have surrounded ourselves with the best workshops in Portugal to design swimsuits adapted to each morphology and each need.
No awkward seams for our demanding kids, cuts that highlight the natural curves of adults (just as demanding) and ergonomics that suit athletes as well as those who like to relax in comfort.
Our social commitment with Colorie ma vie
Since 2015, GILI’S has been supporting the Colorie Ma Vie association, which initiated the creation of a facility housing more than 40 orphans. Each year, thanks to your invaluable support, we cover the water and electricity costs of the orphanage while also sponsoring the education of several children. This year, we had the incredible privilege of visiting them.
The children of Colorie Ma Vie display remarkable resilience. Always smiling and courageous, they are fully dedicated to their education. Their joy for life is a true lesson in humility, especially when we remember that Madagascar is the fifth poorest country in the world..
