Our Story

Born from a shared love of surfing and a desire for change, 1TWENTY9 is the vision of Sofie and Rene. Combining Rene's surf industry expertise and Sofie's passion for vintage, we handcraft unique board shorts using old deadstock fabric, prioritizing sustainability and local production in Los Angeles. Each limited-edition pair is a piece of history, designed for the water and made with care, just 8 miles from our Venice home.
