Each source is averaged first, then sources are weighted by reliability: audits, lab tests and verified-buyer platforms count most, rating organisations and expert reviewers less, brand-run reviews and community opinion least. Review scores also weigh by how many reviews stand behind them, and anything older than three years fades.
Verification
None on the core facts: founded 2007, England (London), made in Europe (Portugal for the swim shorts). Note that the brand is owned by Chanel, so it is not an independent small brand. Research confidence: medium.
Sourcing & ethics
Premium swimwear label owned by Chanel since 2018. Its signature swim shorts are made in Portugal; we did not confirm where other categories are made.
