100% Linen with cotton lining

To keep the colour of your linen as fresh as the day you bought it, wash in lukewarm or cold water and if possible use a mild soap or gentle detergent.
For best results turn inside out to wash. Linen is highly absorbent, so it's always best to wash separately from other fabrics.
Set the steam iron on the cotton/linen setting. Keep the iron moving constantly and smoothly to prevent scorching, press on the wrong side or use a pressing cloth to prevent shiny spots.
Do not spot clean

Every piece is created with intention, from unique silhouettes to thoughtfully developed prints, designed to last season after season and styled with your Monte and Lou swimwear collection.

Fit and Fabrication

At Monte and Lou we are perfectionists when it comes to fabrics and fit. Softness. Weight. Breathability. How it drapes, how it wears over time and how it pairs with your swimwear. Proportions are tested and cuts refined. Each style is designed to flatter, feel good and last season after season.

Technical Mastery

With 30+ years of industry experience, you can be confident our Como Shirt Dress has been crafted in the highest quality, with the utmost care and skill by industry veterans.

Built on Decades of Design Mastery

Monte & Lou was never about chasing trends. It was built on a simple truth learned through decades in the industry: great resort wear is engineered, not improvised.

Founded in 2018 by industry veterans Kay Howitt and Lynne Tramonte, Monte & Lou is shaped by years of designing and producing for household names in the resort space. This depth of experience informs every decision, from fabric selection and construction to fit, support, and longevity.

Every silhouette is refined through technical precision. Every detail is intentional. Luxurious, eco conscious fabrics are paired with expertly engineered cuts to deliver resort wear that flatters, supports, and feels exceptional on the body.

This is resort wear designed by authorities in the field. Crafted with intention. Worn with confidence. Made to last, season after season.
