We're super excited to announce the launch of a brand new Special Series - Forget Me Not in collaboration with our rider, designer and Bali resident Anais Pierquet (@facingblankpages).

 

 

Forget Me Not Series is a tribute to Nat.

For those who may not know, Nat was a fundamental part of the Macho Fins team from its very beginnings. Nat was Gonzalo's wife and passed away in 2023. She was passionate about flowers in general, obsessed with orchids, her friends and family, Miró, Calder, nature, and mountains more than the sea.

       

 

She left her mark and spirit on the brand to which she dedicated so much work and passion from the start. Everything in the brand, the Macho Fins family, the image, the ethics, and even the new workshop is her legacy and it would not have been possible without her.

 

As with the brand, she left a mark on everyone who knew her, on all the members of the Macho Fins family, and on all who ever interacted with her. A testament to her legacy and the mark she left is, for example, a van named after her by our friends at littlehobo.co.uk

 

 

and a bench in her name and memory overlooking the sea in South West England, her place of origin.

 

 

 

 

 

When we spoke with Anais at the beginning of 2024 about a new collaboration, she immediately thought of Nat and paying her tribute in the form of a flower. Ana and Nat met at Gliding Barnacles in 2019, and since then, she became part of the Macho Fins family. Despite the distance, they always maintained a close relationship.

Both were great lovers of nature and flowers. "Forget me not" is the name of Nat's favorite flower and the inspiration for this special series.

Ana, with her incredible talent and heart, which she has always shown us both in and out of the water, has designed this collection. We are delighted with the result, with its delicate and elegant design that reflects them both so well.

 

                    

 

 

 

Forget Me Not is available exclusively in our Bow model in sizes 9.75 and 10.5 - Anais' go-to fin model and sizes - and many of yours too, as it's our most popular model.
