Orlebar Brown, the fashionable British men’s wear line, has introduced an original design for its Bulldog swim short, customised specifically for CARLO boutique at The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas.

The designer swim short features one of the most iconic swimming pools in the world – The Ocean Club’s scenic Versailles Pool, as photographed by Slim Aarons. The image, captured in 1968, depicts the Versailles Pool surrounded by the lush Versailles Gardens, with its terraced steps leading from the swimming pool to the marble French cloisters, dotted with cherished bronze and stone sculptures imported from Europe, dating to the 19th century. The Versailles Pool today is the Resort’s adult-only pool, offering signature Four Seasons guest service, including poolside food and beverage service.

The OB x CARLO swim shorts are available now at CARLO boutique at The Ocean Club. Carlo is located in a freestanding building to the left of the Resort’s main lobby, positioned closest to the Crescent Wing. Carlo is newly renovated and features designer apparel, accessories, and one-of-a-kind jewellery. The OB swim shorts retail for USD 395.
