The Story of Trunkettes (just two local LA gals) as told by CEO Hilary Genga:


For years I have been wearing my husband’s swim trunks to the pool and to the beach.  I just always felt more comfortable and freer in them than in a traditional female bathing suit.  You can do all sorts of things more easily while wearing them -- run, jump, dive, rough house with your kids, etc. -- all without worrying about a “wardrobe malfunction.”  Also, you don’t have to run out and get a bikini wax every time you go to the beach or pool.  Nor do you need to avoid sitting in the sand for fear of getting sand butt. YIKES!


Sooooo, anyway........I kept waiting year after year for gal trunks to come out, thinking it was bound to happen some day.  The concept was just too great for someone to overlook it.  But, after many years of not seeing these products, I decided to take matters into my own hands.


I had known Kristen for several years as a costume designer and someone who is just really creative and artistic.  I also had seen how hard she worked as my production assistant, and when she helped with my kids.  So, I initially brought the idea to her.  She loved it, and came back practically the next day with sketches.  Kristen and I then went shopping for materials together and were totally in synch.  It was so much fun!


Well, there you have it.  That’s how we became a team and how Trunkettes were born.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed working together to bring them to you.
