Find of the Month: Shan


It’s almost beach season Canada – what are you wearing? Might I suggest a swimsuit from Quebec-based Shan? Founded in 1985, this luxe brand creates highly coveted swimwear, resort wear, lingerie, and high end accessories for both men and women. Carried in renowned retailers like Le Printemps in Paris and Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC, Shan is synonymous with chic.

As part of my extra special focus on Canadian retailers for Canada Day, I’m highlighting a few of my fave items from Shan – all of which can be ordered online for just $12 in shipping costs. Whether you’re treating yourself, shopping for your besties for that vacay you’re taking together, or gifting your wife a new suit to look fab in by the pool, here are some awesome gift ideas from Shan!

4795-06-baln_a-boucl_ruby-stripes-one-piece-swimsuit1_4

Balnea Boucle One-Piece – $285
One of the coolest parts of Shan is the fact all of their prints are generally rendered in other styles. So if you love the bold Canadiana-inspired look of this classic red and white stripe, you can actually get it on a few different mix & match two-pieces, as well as a selection of one-pieces. Ditto goes for the nautical blue and white-striped ‘cousin’ of this look. Be sure to check out the back – it’s the look of a two-piece with the coverage of a maillot!

Classique Print Swim Trunks – $205
The same goes for the men’s products too. Love a print? You can get these cool trunks in a range of length and looseness. The sizing is pretty generous, with sizes range from S to XXXL – fashion should be a democracy after all! And if he’s a ‘solids’ kind of guy, rest assured, there are more than enough choices to keep him happy.

Shan His and Hers

Men’s Signature Classic Cut Trunks – $190 + Shan Bright Like a Diamond One-Piece – $340
Another nifty thing – matching prints and colours. Meaning you can totally be the cutest couple at the pool / beach / country club. This is one of my fave prints from the entire line, but fair warning, Shan’s styles sell out fast so if you spot something you love, nab it! Another thing of note – these desirable styles aren’t just designed in Canada, the brand makes them here too!

Blue Valentine Shan Swimwear

Blue Valentine Silk Tunic – $495 + Bikini Bustier Top – $235 & Bottom – $125
Mixing and matching also extends to Shan’s line of resortwear, as you can see with these perfectly coordinated items. Simply throw on one of their glam tunics for instant poolside panache or an appropriate outfit to wear to dinner or a beachside bar. Like with everything Shan, there are multiple styles available per print – this Blue Valentine print for example, actually comes in 7 styles of coverups, from a feminine maxi to a relaxed button-down style top.

Shan Black

Do You Think I’m Sexy Bodysuit – $215 + Go West Kaftan – $355
And hey. If bold prints and matching coordinates aren’t your jam – no worries. Shan has plenty of suits in simple solid colours (but dazzling cuts), as well as more neutral accessories that can work with virtually all of their suits. From a sexy sheer bodysuit to a western-inspired vest-robe, there’s plenty to peruse beyond their swimwear.

    I like the detailing on this swimsuit. It also looks like it would hide a multitude of sins, which is always a plus. http://www.shan.ca/ca_en/women/swimwear/4740-05-onyx-one-piece-swimwear.html

  2. sojeles says:

    I like this one best. The little skirt/ruffles on the bottom are lovely, and I like that it has a strap you can add to the top if you want. http://www.shan.ca/ca_en/women/swimwear/one-piece-swimwear/4775-04-onyx-one-piece-swimwear.html

    I like tankinis. I’m long waisted, so, if I want a one piece, I have to buy a tall, even though I’m only 5’3″.

  6. Stephanie LaPlante says:

    My favorite is definitely the MAGGIE MAY bikini.

  39. Mary Danieli says:

    I like some of the cuts and designs for some of the one pieces but larger women with busts may need more supportive suits. I like this design: http://www.shan.ca/ca_en/women/swimwear/one-piece-swimwear/4750-06-print-shan-bright-diamond-one-piece-bathing-suit.html

  40. Bonnie-Jo says:

    I really like the onyx sequined one-piece swimsuit. Floating underwire is always a plus, and it would look so good with a simple sarong, for when you go to the beach bar! http://www.shan.ca/ca_en/women/swimwear/one-piece-swimwear/4765-05-onyx-sequined-one-piece.html

  41. I like the Love Me Tender skirt bottom and top.

  43. WENDY BARRETTE says:

    http://www.shan.ca/ca_en/women/swimwear/4740-05-navy-one-piece-swimwear.html I would love this suit in size 14 please. They only thing wrong with the Shan collection is that they don’t have anything for women that are heavier 135 Lbs. and their isn’t many unique suit styles.

  44. lucy kabatoff says:
