MC2 Saint Barth Buying Guide: Prices & Shopping in Cyprus
You're planning a summer in Cyprus and want swimwear that doesn't look like everyone else's at Fig Tree Bay. MC2 Saint Barth sits in that sweet spot between throwaway fast-fashion trunks and eye-watering luxury: Italian-made resort wear with Caribbean energy, available to Cyprus shoppers through retailers on Stylino starting at just EUR 39.
This guide breaks down what MC2 Saint Barth actually costs, which pieces are worth your money, and how to get them delivered to your door in Limassol, Nicosia, or anywhere on the island.
What Is MC2 Saint Barth?
MC2 Saint Barth is an Italian luxury resort brand founded in 1994 by Massimiliano Ferrari and Raffaele Noris, two entrepreneurs from Bergamo who fell in love with the style of St. Barthélemy in the Caribbean. The name tells the story: MC2 refers to the first aircraft model that connected St. Martin to St. Barth, while "Saint Barth" is the island that inspired the aesthetic.
What started as a men's swimwear label has grown into a full resort wardrobe. The brand now operates 70+ monobrand boutiques in places like Mykonos, St. Tropez, Portofino, and Miami. In 2022, Peninsula Capital and the Percassi Group acquired a 40% minority stake to push international expansion further. The founders kept 60% and still run the company as Co-CEOs.
On Stylino, MC2 Saint Barth has 187 active products across two retailers that ship to Cyprus. That's more catalogue depth than competitor Vilebrequin (84 products), giving you genuine choice across categories.

Where to Find MC2 Saint Barth with Delivery to Cyprus
There are no MC2 Saint Barth monobrand stores in Cyprus. But two retailers that ship to Cyprus carry substantial collections on Stylino:
Nugnes 1920 is an Italian luxury multi-brand retailer from Puglia, carrying 102 MC2 Saint Barth products. This is your best source for the newest seasonal pieces: Raphael linen shirts, the full Patmos swim shorts range, and the latest women's bikini collections. Nugnes ships internationally with tracked delivery.
Projectshops is a Greek multi-brand retailer with 84 MC2 products. Strong on bags and clutches, plus classic swim shorts. Prices occasionally differ from Nugnes by a few euros either way, which is exactly what Stylino's price comparison is built for.
Between the two, every major MC2 Saint Barth category is covered. Browse the full MC2 Saint Barth collection to compare prices side by side.
What to Buy: Top Categories
Men's Swim Shorts (EUR 105–133)
The crown jewel of MC2 Saint Barth. Three main models to know:
- Patmos: Mid-length, available in striped and vichy patterns. The most recognisable MC2 silhouette.
- Lighting: Shorter cut in solid Pantone colours. Named after the Greek island (fitting for Cyprus summers).
- Comfort: Made from recycled nylon. Slightly more relaxed fit with an eco angle.
All use quick-dry fabrics (nylon or recycled polyester) so you go from sea to seafront restaurant without that uncomfortable damp feeling. The construction is distinctly Italian: flat drawstring waist, side pockets, and a rear velcro-close pocket.
Women's Bikinis (EUR 49–139)
MC2 sells tops and bottoms separately, which is genuinely useful if you're between sizes or want to mix prints. Key styles:
- Tops: Leah (triangle), Naima (bandeau-style), Gaia (structured), Sagittarius (embroidered)
- Bottoms: Moon (classic), Virgo (string), Yali (high-waist floral)
Materials range from stretch nylon to lurex and viscose blends. A full bikini set runs EUR 108–158 depending on which combination you build. Check the women's clothing and shoes section on Stylino to filter by size availability.
Linen Shirts (EUR 169–179)
The Raphael linen shirt is MC2's signature beyond-swimwear piece. Available in Mediterranean pastels (white, sky blue, sage green) and designed for exactly the kind of "beach lunch at a taverna" situation that defines a Cyprus summer. Pure linen breathes in 38°C heat, and wrinkles are part of the resort aesthetic. Honestly, one of the better linen shirts I've seen in this price bracket for what you'd actually wear around Protaras or Paphos.
T-Shirts (EUR 79–98)
Three model families: Orson (graphic prints), Portofino (embroidered logo, clean), and Portland (organic cotton, front embroidery). The Portofino at EUR 79 is probably the best-value entry into MC2 if you want something wearable beyond the beach. Browse all men's clothing and shoes for the complete MC2 men's range.
Bags & Clutches (EUR 39–340)
With 66 bag options, this is actually MC2's largest product category on Stylino (35% of their entire catalogue here). The Aline scuba clutches start at EUR 39 and are waterproof (neoprene-like material). Canvas totes run EUR 49. At the premium end, City suede shoulder bags reach EUR 340.
For the complete women's selection including bikinis, shirts, and bags, Stylino tracks 127 MC2 Saint Barth products in women's categories.
Sizing & Fit Tips
MC2 Saint Barth uses Italian sizing, which tends to run slightly slimmer than British or American cuts. Here's what to keep in mind:
Men's swim shorts: Available in European S through XXL. If you're between sizes, go up. The drawstring waist gives flexibility, but the leg opening won't stretch.
Women's bikinis: Standard European sizing (XS–XL for tops, XS–L for bottoms). Since tops and bottoms are sold separately, you can genuinely get the right fit on each. Italian brands typically run a half-size smaller than Scandinavian or UK labels.
Shirts: True Italian sizing (S–XXL). The Raphael linen shirts have a relaxed resort cut, so your normal size should work. Cotton shirts are slightly more fitted.
For men's clothing and shoes or women's clothing and shoes, Stylino's size filter helps narrow down what's actually available in your size across both retailers.
When to Buy: Seasonal Pricing Patterns
MC2 Saint Barth operates on a seasonal rhythm tied to the resort calendar. New collections land in March–April (Spring/Summer) and September–October (Resort/Cruise). If you're shopping from Cyprus, here's what matters:
Peak availability (March–August): The widest selection and full size runs. Both Nugnes 1920 and Projectshops stock fresh seasonal pieces. This is when you'll find the newest prints and colour stories. MC2 changes their graphic themes entirely each season.
Off-season (September–February): Some end-of-season pieces drop in price as retailers clear summer inventory. The catch is that sizes become patchy. If you wear S or XXL, waiting for markdowns works in your favour because extreme sizes linger longest.
Right now (June 2026): Full summer stock is live. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection features micro-pattern swim shorts, recycled polyester models, and a new generation of linen shirts in pastel tones. Projectshops still carries some SS25 holdovers at original prices: not discounted, but last season's prints if you prefer those.
Set a Stylino price alert on specific items if you want to catch any mid-season adjustments. Some retailers quietly adjust prices by EUR 5–10 throughout the season without announcing a formal sale.
How MC2 Saint Barth Compares
For context, here's how MC2 stacks up against Vilebrequin, the other luxury swimwear brand available on Stylino:
| MC2 Saint Barth | Vilebrequin | |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 1994, Bergamo | 1971, St. Tropez |
| Products on Stylino | 187 | 84 |
| Men's swim shorts | EUR 105–133 | EUR 172–315 |
| T-shirts | EUR 79–98 | EUR 84–140 |
| Style | Bold seasonal prints, trend-driven | Heritage, classic patterns |
| Origin | Italian | French |
MC2 runs 30–50% cheaper than Vilebrequin for comparable items, with a more fashion-forward approach. If you want punchy prints and Italian flair at a more accessible price, MC2 is the play. If you prefer timeless designs and are willing to pay for French heritage, Vilebrequin is also on Stylino.
Is MC2 Saint Barth a luxury brand?
Yes. MC2 Saint Barth is positioned as Italian premium resort wear, founded in Bergamo in 1994 and sold through 70+ monobrand boutiques worldwide in destinations like Mykonos, St. Tropez, and Miami. Prices on Stylino range from EUR 39 for accessories to EUR 340 for leather bags.
What is the cheapest MC2 Saint Barth item available on Stylino?
The Aline scuba clutch at EUR 39, available through Nugnes 1920. These waterproof neoprene clutches come in over a dozen colour and pattern options. For wearables, Portofino cotton t-shirts start at EUR 79.
Does MC2 Saint Barth ship to Cyprus?
MC2 Saint Barth doesn't have physical stores in Cyprus, but two retailers on Stylino (Nugnes 1920 from Italy and Projectshops from Greece) carry 187 MC2 products and ship to Cyprus. Use Stylino to compare prices between them.
What sizes does MC2 Saint Barth offer?
European S through XXL for most items. Italian sizing tends to run slightly slimmer than UK or US equivalents. Women's bikini tops and bottoms are sold separately, so you can size each piece independently.
Is MC2 Saint Barth worth the price compared to high-street swimwear?
The construction quality justifies the premium. Quick-dry nylon and recycled polyester fabrics, Italian tailoring, and seasonal prints that don't fade after three washes. At EUR 105–119 for swim shorts, it's a step up from H&M or Zara swim (EUR 20–40) but significantly below Vilebrequin (EUR 172–315).
