The two brands will be starting the collaboration at BOOT Düsseldorf, with the Nautor Swan team dressed by Henri-Lloyd showcasing its new stylish and high-quality designed onshore range, ideal for corporate, team and leisure wear. Also on show will be the new 2024 range aimed at inshore and offshore sailors and drawing on Henri-Lloyd's 60 years of design and manufacturing excellence. Launched at METS, the new range's aesthetics draw directly on the brand's heritage, reusing familiar product names and popular past features. All Henri-Lloyd's new 2024 products can be easily branded with company, club or team logos.
