About Parlementia
Originally, Parlementia is a hill facing the ocean between two Basque villages, Bidart and Guéthary. In the 17th century, whalers used to fight over the waters, until they decided to settle their differences in a different way, by negotiating on the top of the hill.
The hill did not have a name, so it was given the name Parlementia. A chapel, Saint Joseph, was even erected there to serve as a parliament between the two villages and to welcome all those who were not accepted elsewhere.
At the end of the 20th century, Parlementia gave its name to the beach, and then to the mythical wave that rolled in from California.
Parlementia, the brand, has kept in its genes a tenderness for loudmouth bands. It has drawn its inspiration from the Jamaican Rude Boys, the English Mods and the Californian surfers.
His oceanic roots have been blended with street culture to create a unique mix of surf, skate, music and pop culture.
Today, Parlementia is much more than a clothing brand: it is also a web radio, a music label and a unique place to live overlooking the spot in Guéthary.
You can come alone or in a group to eat a coffee shop snack, browse through beautiful books, find a vintage Hawaiian shirt or a mythical vinyl while checking the wave, while the workshop below produces the latest novelties.
Parlementia is a "Sea, Street and Surf" state of mind bathed in music, a mix of energy and chill, a lifestyle with communicative good vibes.
