when someone thinks about speedos and South America, Brazil comes inmediatly to mind. Sungas, Rio de Janeiro, etc. well, what about other countries ? this thread is about my country: Peru.
as I always say, Peruvian beaches and swimming pools aren't speedo friendly at all. (but when a girls wears a thong everybody: Applause! - stupid, isn't it?)
but... I think Peru is becoming a point of reference of clothing manufacture. for example Lacoste: made in Peru, designed in France.
"¿qué diablos? ¿en Perú se fabrican ropas de baño?= "what the hell? is there any swimwear made in Peru?" --- some peruvian would ask himself
the answer is: yes, man.
here are two brands I want to share with you:
1.vista water polo: the owner of this brand is an ex-wp player that now designs some nice suits . if you had facebook account check the fb page:

I think their office is located in New Jersey, but I'm sure the factory is located here in Lima. when I bought one they send me the suit from a place in the city where you only find factories, the industrial zone of the city. the manager himself told me so by e-mail. well, some pics:

well, mauricio is nowadays studying in the US, but he also has his own brand. I once send him a facebook mesaage thanking him for promoting the sunga-style suits in this closed mided country and he replied thanking me for the kind words!
