Product Insights
The Palm Angels Curved-Logo Bathing Short, out of stock at 275 CAD, weaves Milanese polish with Venice Beach street edge through a large curved Gothic logo that stays flat when wet, supported by a separate micro-mesh liner. The elastic waist fits 26–34 inches with a concealed drawcord, while the 7.5-inch inseam is criticized as too long for some frames. Italian construction, a 'Made in Italy' label and tag without size indicator confirm authenticity, and the bold logo enables beach-to-street styling. The core promise is cultural capital from a Milanese-LA brand, with the tradeoff being the divisive inseam length.

Authentic Palm Angels swim shorts feature curved logo
Not sure if this color way was ever released but this specific pair that you posted is a rep/fake pair. Palm Angels released a pink bathing suit last season but it had a big curved logo on the front and no exposed drawstring
