Maru's new line for 08
Maru Swimwear launches a new SS08 collection on January 1, in over 400 UK sports shops, as well as a range of online retailers and health clubs.
Right across the board, from its core Aqua Sport swimwear, designed for the competitive/fitness swimmer, to its sporty Aqua Leisure and Aqua Kids range, Maru is introducing a range of striking new swimwear in vibrant colours, patterns and fabrics, developed for optimum performance. New swim equipment items, from “must-have” children’s quick-release goggles to brightly coloured, short training fins have also been added.
Roger Allen, director, Maru Swimwear, said: “Maru’s new Spring / Summer 2008 Collection has something for everyone. Maggie Upton, Maru designer and fellow director, has developed a range of outstanding new swimsuits and fabric designs for both the competitive and leisure swimmer, which are more vibrant and eye-catching than ever, without compromising on fit or performance.
AQUA SPORT RANGE
Aimed at the active swimmer, who trains or swims regularly, the Aqua Sport range is specifically styled with individual body shapes and sizes in mind and engineered for performance.
New to the women’s range is the athletic-look “thin strap” which is to be the design for Spring/Summer 2008. Manufactured in Lycra, the Thin Strap swimsuit comes in three-tone bold colours or bright, vivacious prints.
A number of dynamic new designs have also been introduced into Maru’s popular Pacer range of suits, manufactured using the high chlorine resistant, long-life fabric, Pacer, which also provides UV protection of UPF 50+.
The trend in mens’ club shorts and jammers is set to continue in 2008. New for the Maru Men’s Collection is the cool Kaleidoscope Jammer featuring black with orange and blue patterned side panels. Also new is the Lycra Spooks Jammer in a geometric blue, white and black design.
AQUA CLASSIC RANGE
Designed for fit and comfort, with high backs, low legs and bust support, the Aqua Classic range introduces several new designs this season including the Oceanic Swimsuit in bright blue and pink with adjustable straps and flattering, body-contouring seams. Also new is the Aquarius Legged Suit, a high-back suit, ideal for aqua aerobics. Other popular suits in this range feature pretty embroidery appliqués or brightly coloured piping, which enhance the fit, shape and design of the suit.
AQUA LEISURE RANGE
Perfect for the pool or beach, the sporty yet stylish Aqua Leisure range includes both one-piece suits (halter-neck and thin-strap style) and two-piece tankinis in bright, hot, summer colours of blue, aqua, pink and nectarine. The swimsuits feature pretty appliqué designs, while the tankinis are in solid two-tone colours.
Following the success of the 2007 men’s range Maru continues to offer stylish swim shorts and cool board shorts in varying lengths (17”, 19” and 21”) colours and styles, manufactured in a quick-drying, micro fibre fabric, Tactel, which has a soft, peach-like feel.
Additionally there is a great new range for kids and also a strong line of swim accessories including bags and goggles.
