They're an inside joke between me and a couple of my mates. There's this store we always go to to buy panini, but the owner sort of reminds me of a shopkeeper in the thirties. Very vocal, very friendly, but the kind of guy you just don't run into anymore these days. Anyways, we always pictured him with these old school swimming suits when he said he was going on holiday. When I saw these colours and the stripes, I liked the retro effect .
Yes, I do. We were going to Barcelona when I bought it and we agreed that I needed something to stand out. Given the fact that Barcelona is full of flashy gay guys this was not easy.
