Speedo goes online

Next month sees the launch of Speedo products online through intimate wear e-tailer figleaves.com. The swimwear brand will become accessible to shoppers from more than 170 countries. They will be able to choose between Speedo's biggest selection including swimwear and accessories.

Figleaves will offer more than 200 men's and women's Speedo's lines. It will also market certain ranges that have been previously unavailable anywhere else, as is the case with Speedo's Australian Separates range; this will now be available to UK shoppers.

To help make the process of choosing a bathing suit easier, the site will also offer advice on how to dress for you body type. Furthermore, Speedo will add two new lines. One is by Comme des Garçons and the other is by Brazilian swimwear designer Rosa Chá, called Speedo by Rosa Chá.
