Archimede

 

British Summer Time begins this Sunday, March 28 and to celebrate, we are taking a look at Alexandalexa.com’s newest summer addition, luxury swim wear brand Archimede.

As one of the most established brands of Swimwear in Europe, French brand Archimede has earned a great reputation since its children’s swim wear launch in 1997.

Their high quality buoyancy suits are not only extremely stylish, but also designed to help children swim. Many of their swimsuits include ‘double protection’ which is an anti-leakage swimsuit meant to replace disposable water nappies. To top it off, they also have enhanced items like UV protection swimsuits and chlorine resistant swimsuits for those that do most of their splashing in pools.

From a fashion standpoint they are spot on as well, with accessories such as beach shoes, hats, caps, t-shirts and sunglasses, all of which perfectly coordinate with their swimwear.

You can create a swimwear wardrobe for you kiddies with buoyancy suit, bikini, sarong, beach cover up, top, regular bathing suit, anti-leakage baby bottoms, head band and shoes – all coordinated to a tee.

We put together a boy and girls look on polyvore.com to show you the genius of it all
