COMPANY PROFILE
Orlebar Brown launched in March 2007 as a more tailored approach to men’s beach and swim shorts. Based on the traditional pattern of a tailored pair of trousers for men, and with their distinctive side fasteners, they are not just a swim short; they are the original and best shorts you can swim in.
In 2010 we took Orlebar Brown off the beach, out of the pool and into the resort with a range of tees, polos and shirts, and have since then developed the product into a full lifestyle offer including shorts, trousers, sweats, outerwear, knitwear, footwear and accessories.
The brand has rapidly gained global recognition and is sold through multiple channels. Web is the largest channel, delivering to customers globally through www.orlebarbrown.com. The first Orlebar Brown store opened in London in 2011, and there are now seven stores in the UK and six stores in the US, alongside stores managed by franchisees in Australia, France, Dubai, Greece and Kuwait. The brand is sold in the world’s best Menswear retailers including Selfridges, Harrods, Mr Porter, Le Bon Marche, Saks 5th Avenue and Holt Renfrew amongst others, as well as through key trend and regional independent menswear stores.
In 2018 Orlebar Brown was acquired by Chanel, with a plan to continue the brand’s growth and development internationally and across channels. We are looking for another strong team player to join us on our journey
