Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi Maldives wanted a retail collection for adults and children that reflected its island setting and brand.
OCEANR developed coordinated products with different design approaches for each audience, from playful marine illustrations to understated adult styles.
The Project
Create a bespoke retail range that connects the resort’s identity with the surrounding marine environment, using selected recycled materials.

PRODUCT RANGE
Rash guards, swim shorts, caps and bucket hats for adults and children.
THE DESIGNS
Hand-drawn sharks featured on children’s rash guards, with turtle illustrations on swim shorts. Adult designs used more restrained brand imagery.
SUSTAINABILITY
The rash guards used recycled-polyester Wave Balance fabric, while swim shorts incorporated recycled mesh.
A COLLECTION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
OCEANR translated marine inspiration into a coordinated range, using sublimation printing across much of the collection to reproduce the bespoke artwork.
The finished products balanced playful children’s designs with a quieter adult aesthetic, keeping both connected to the Waldorf Astoria identity.
