Riz Boardshorts offers inspired shorts for surfing and swimming in luscious prints and colours – digitally printed in England and made in small batches in Portugal.
Based in London, they embrace the paradox and opportunities of designing swimwear in a city by drawing on London’s rich heritage of Savile Row tailoring and gentleman ideals, and blending them with a summery disposition and the influence of international travel.
It’s always summer somewhere, and they’re proud to go by the moniker ‘The Tailors of Sunshine’.
They passionately believe in crafting swimwear with soul.
All their shorts are made in Europe and in genuinely small batches.
They Do Not Mass Produce!
Every pair of their shorts is also digitally printed in the UK, allowing them to bring to life even the most intricate and colourful designs.
Shorts that are built to last are better for the environment, and are therefore more sustainable.
Their shorts have substance. Whether triple stitching the shorts for durability, or packaging their products in recycled boxes, we are dedicated to delivering uncompromising craftsmanship and quality
They Believe That True Style Lasts Forever.
Inspired by the idea of Savile Row for the Sea, their shorts have an 'old school' tailored feel and won't go out of style over night.
At the same time, their use of the latest recycled fabrics and digital print techniques means their shorts maintain a contemporary edge.
They work with a small collective of hand selected artists and illustrators to come up with prints that convey their own unique 'British-Hawaiian style'.
It is here that they incorporate themes of endangered fish, flowers and insects that they hope will foster awareness and inspire appreciation for the natural world around us.
Our Oceans Are Littered With Plastics.
In an effort to do their part, every pair of their shorts are crafted from Eco-Friendly 100% recycled and recyclable fabric as well as being digitally printed in the UK using earth friendly inks.
What's more, their pioneering Rizcycle scheme allows the customer to return their old shorts in return for a discount off their next pair; focusing the entire product life into a perpetual 360 degree process.
