Most women will still remember the scene from Casino Royale where James Bond emerges from the sea in his blue trunks. Daniel Craig's famous blue swimsuit from Casino Royale is a La Perla Grigioperla Lodato from the Spring/Summer 2006 collection.

The trunks have been flying off the shelves since the first publicity shots from Casino Royale showing a toned Craig emerging from the sea wearing a pair received wide publicity.

These famous trunks are not available anymore online or in stores, except sometimes on eBay (scroll down or click here for current GrigioPerla items on eBay).

About La Perla

I got a pair of XL trunks, same as in the movie. Sadly they are too lrage for me. I got 33 inch waist.
I think they would be perfect for someone with 34-36 in waist.

I'd love to get a hold of medium size.

I can sell mine if you want them, wore only twice.

LA PERLA IS INDEED A QUALITY PRODUCT AND SIMILAR STYLES CAN BE FOUND FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS.(THEIR BEACH ITEMS FOR LADIES ARE PARTICULARY ENDEARING - ON THE RIGHT WOMAN !)
HOWEVER I DO WORRY THAT MEN THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PHYSIQUE OF CRAIG OR EVEN CONNERY IN 'THUNDERBALL'WILL NEVER DO THE CUT ,STYLE AND QUALITY JUSTICE.PERHAPS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LOOK LIKE TODAYS BOND THEN YOUR CHOICE OF EXERCISE IS PROBABLY AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR CHOICE OF WARDROBE.

I just bought a pair of these swimtrunks Fri from LaPerla. on the US site, they have them again by the way for 122.00 USD. They shipped them in 3 days just in time for spring break. I thought these shorts would be kinda tight and uncomfortable but I was wrong, they feel wonderful. I just wish they would bring back the black pair as well on the website.

I bought a pair of these from someone off eBay. I paid massively over the odds at around £90 but who cares :)) they really do feel fabulous and look superb. I never buy fakes anyway and also bought the T&A shirt ensemble direct from T&A online, which is nothing less than exquisite and a serious collectors piece (as is the swimwear) and since 2002, I've been wearing a genuine Rolex Seadweller. Basically a better version of the submariner :P Oh yes, I almost forgot, I also bought the Albert Thurston white braces direct from Albert Thurston, which is the best way to get them as they're slightly cheaper that way. Fantastic site! :)

Next in the UK are selling a very similar design to this. I saw them several days ago and they cost 12 pound a pair. I have Le Perlas and the colour is much the same except the dark blue lines at the front are narrower and its pale blue on the back, not dark.

I bought these (from the L.A.) Store. size large...AWESOME shorts...unfortunately since I have really really skinny legs, they dont fit me properly! I can't return them because of their policy and I cant exchange since theres no other sizes!. I'm looking to ofcourse get them off my hands...willing to part with them for $100 (thats not more more than the original 87 dollar price) email me if interested. Thanks in advance.

Alright, I have received several e-mails in reference to where I purchased the bathing suit. Unfortunately I don't think the store has anymore left to sell, so with that said, I guess you have to rely on the store that is in California charging $129.00, which is ridiculous, considering La Perla never charged that.

Isak, I got the ebay ones AND the la perla ones off this site. I tried them on one after another. The La Perlas are definitely much better (I sure hope so for 100 bucks more over the ebay ones). The ebay ones are the EXACT same design in LOOK, but are not as nicely durable. They ARE darker as you mentioned to which doesn't look as nice as the dark la perla ones. the draw string on the la perlas is fantastic and it is very cheesy like a bow tie on the ebay ones. the ebay ones are great for the price. but if you got the money to spend, you'll be happy with the la perlas by far.

Thanks for the information. In that case there are some major flaws on the replica.
And I will definately buy the real la perla once I have the money.

You get what you pay for, it's just that simple ;)

Isak, on the real La Perla the "rope" actually functions, and is made of durable material. It is made to tighten the surrounding strap which is around your waist.

Date: 29 June, 2007

Author Isak

Author's website www.i-gundrosen.com

I got a pair from the ebay store mentioned below. It is decent quality. Good fit, and seems solid.

However, the color is a little off(too dark) and the tightning rope is poorly made(and non functioning, though I believe it is just for show on the real La Perla too)

For the price, they are ok, but I think I'm gonna buy a real pair when I can afford them :p

Ignore my last post. I just bid and won these...the seller claims they are exactly the same minus the la perla logo due to copy write infringement. either way, they do look identical.

So many of my friends suggested I NEED a pair of these, since I waterski on Lochs, that I forced myself to go out and buy a pair last week.
Delivery took about 5 days from Italy to Scotland, and actually they look better in real life than the pictures.

I just purchased a pair today from LeBra Lingerie in California. Regrettably, as these trunks are increasingly ard to find, the price has escalated a good deal since the $89 figure was listed. I was quoted $129 plus $10 shipping. Nonetheless, I regard it as coin well spent and I'm quite looking forward to their arrival.

I just ordered and got the swim trunks from La Bra in West Hollywood. I spoke to Jason on the phone ( don't email he is getting way too many ). He was pleasant and gave me the correct size. He shipped them that day and I got them 3 days later. These are totally worth the price!!! Almost too nice to swim in! But tthe motivation factor to get in shape just went up 1000%. High Quality for sure.

I remember that I saw the black ones on an Italian website and I PRESUME (now) they were from the La Perla 2006 collection, but now I cannot find them anymore. They were almost exactly like the blue ones but all around black with a white stripe on the side. I offer my apologies for this rash information and beg the pardon of everyone whom I deceived into false hopes...

I managed to get a pair prior to christmas. They are excellent. The pictures here don't do them justice, they are designed to be worn tight and not everyone can pull them off, but if your physique is lard free you'll look great.
