Nautica Swimwear Swimwear
Derived from the Latin word for “ship,” Nautica set
sail in 1983 with founder David Chu of Taiwan and his six sailing
inspired pieces. Chu’s intuition that fashion lacked colorful
jackets made waves through New York’s stores; propelling
Nautica as the leading choice in sportswear. For the next twenty
years, the line delivered an elegant collection with unique apparel
features and a bold color selection. By 2003, an American classic
was born when the exclusive and pioneering Nautica joined leading
apparel dealer VF Corporation becoming available in over 170 stores
throughout 64 countries worldwide.
Today, the line continues on as a front-runner in the sea of
fashion. Nautica now supplies tempting fragrances such as Voyage or
Oceans, a stunning collection in bedding or bath and bold choices
of timeless quality in women’s sportswear. Nautica’s
award winning watches and accessories provide spectacular dials and
features perfect for any woman’s active lifestyle. With a
spinnaker as its logo, the line remains true to its roots in
sailing providing durability, innovation and a spirit of adventure
in all its products. Because of its modern yet classic appeal,
Nautica is considered one of the most important American lifestyles
brands in the world.
