Coconut Monkey is a new emerging swimwear brand featuring fun and colourful swimwear since 2024. The idea for this brand started in the mind of the designer, Alexandre Guilmant, who wanted to create unique, comfortable, great-fitting and high-quality swimwear, with the focus on unique as there are already numerous brands and designs within the swimwear market.
Alexandre Guilmant was born in Paris, his parents deciding to move to South Africa for a short while. He however decided to stay in Cape Town when his parents decided to move back to France when he was about 20 years old.
‘I love going to the beach, surrounded by the beautiful nature unique to Cape Town and which I have come to call my home. I am inspired by my beautiful surroundings when creating my designs…’
