From three centuries and all continents
The most valuable collection of swimwear in the world -
from 19th century full-body clothing to the "Fio Dental" (Engl. "dental floss bikini")
In particular: the "Golden Réard", Réard's only surviving individual piece and thus the historically most valuable bikini.
Also: swimwear owned by international world stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Elke Sommer, Esther Williams or Scarlett Johansson.

"The Golden Réard"
Only one individual bikini by Louis Réard still exists: the "Golden Réard"; the others are mass-produced. The "Golden Réard" was created especially for the winner of the "Miss Réard" competition. Experts date the production year to 1948. In terms of its design, the piece is timeless and unique in both colour and cut. Even by today's standards, the "Golden Réard" is considered an aesthetic masterpiece. The unique piece is therefore considered to be the most historically valuable bikini in the world .
