The collection features two distinct motifs integrated into men’s swim trunks, tote bags, and accessory pouches. The Wave design utilizes a palette of turquoise and cobalt blue, subtly weaving silhouettes of Ponant vessels into the fabric patterns. For guests aboard the icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot, the brand has introduced the Polar Plunge design, which features a stark white line drawing of the ship set against deep navy fabric, referencing the traditional ritual of polar swimming.
