Andrew & Cole

Andrew & Cole was founded by Vincent Sidney Cole Stadelhofer and Julian Andrew Schaffner in 2016 in Zurich Switzerland. After a summer vacation in 2015, Vincent and Julian had the vision of creating their own leisure wear collection for men. It occurred to them that the selection for men’s swim shorts was limited and that after wearing trunks for more than 5 hours, it became very uncomfortable. The two founders’ idea was to bring a lining to men’s shorts which would create a new way of comfort without the net. With the help of lingerie designer Nichole De Carle (London, UK) they created their very first Andrew & Cole samples, which became not only a swim trunk, but an allrounder summer short. Designed in Switzerland, made in Italy but inspired by Andrew & Coles’ travels. “Wherever you are or whatever you are doing, your Andrew & Cole swim short will be an eye-catcher”.

Andrew & Cole specializes in “Leisure Shorts”. These shorts have been created with a two in one system. Our leisure shorts offer exactly the same comfort as an everyday short, but they are also suitable for swimming. Our new, recycled PET fabric is as light as a feather, durable and dries in minutes. The comfortable inner fabric is soft and makes our «Leisure Shorts» unbeatably comfortable and the zipper on the left pocket make the short more functional. Over the time Andrew & Cole expand their collection with everyday essentials, like T-Shirt, Sweater, Hoodies all made with certificated OEKE-TEX Cotton. We are really proud of our toweling collection that consist today of the Beach Shirt and Beach Robe The toweling collection will be expand with Pants and Shorts. We use a new way of towel fabric that is made of Bamboo. The Bamboo fiber are really strong, durable, breathable and have and have an anti-bacterial protection that is already obtained from the plant. Sustainability is important to us.
