Gottex Swimwear

Israeli brand Gottex has a very special place in the world of luxury women's swimwear. In the first place, few high end swimwear brands can say that they have been creating acclaimed designs for over five decades. More importantly, Gottex takes pride in having maintained the highest quality standards from the day they first opened their workshop.

Let's take a look at the history of this incredibly successful women's swimwear brand. Gottex's history started in Israel back in 1956, when Hungarian-born Leah Gottlieb decided to swap raincoats for swimwear at her Tel Aviv factory. Gottlieb was able to successfully replace the heavy raincoat fabrics designed to withstand the cold and wet Eastern European days by breathable and lightweight swimwear fabrics that reflected the warmth and brightness that characterise the Mediterranean region.

Founder Leah Gottlieb had to sell her wedding ring in order to get her venture started. A sewing machine and her innate talent was all that was needed to start creating the most gorgeous swimwear pieces, which took the fashion industry by storm thanks to their outstanding quality and unique design. Gottlieb drew her inspiration from traditional Middle Eastern patterns, colours, and designs, so her swimwear was (and still is) evocative of the region's most beautiful landscapes: bright and blue skies, green rolling hills, and golden sandy beaches.

Gottex's swimwear has been seen on celebrities and royals from the 1950s to our days. Personalities that are considered synonymous of glamour and elegance (such as Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Princess of Wales, or Spain's Queen Sofia) chose Gottex's swimwear in various occasions. The brand can also be proud of having designed the world's best-selling one piece, their legendary 1984 strapless swimsuit.

Today, Gottex has international presence and the brand's collections are a must at the most important haute couture shows, such as the New York Fashion Week.
