Crafting Excellence in North Carolina
Every CJ Trunxxx piece begins with a real story - Charles Josef's quest for swimwear that captured joy, sophistication, and an impeccable fit during his Miami days, when expressive, upscale options were elusive. Guided by a personal commitment to style and comfort, Charles transformed this search into a dedication to designing expertly crafted swimwear and resort attire for fashion-forward men worldwide.
Today, each garment is meticulously handmade in Charles's North Carolina studio, merging bold Miami inspiration with the careful artistry of local craftsmanship. Small-batch production ensures every detail receives close attention, from premium fabric selection to finishing touches that elevate both aesthetics and functionality. Custom sizing up to 3X and one-on-one consultations provide a tailored experience, resolving the challenges of ill-fitting, off-the-rack resort wear.
This hands-on ethos, shaped by both heritage and vision, results in exclusive collections that celebrate individuality, comfort, and self-expression. At CJ Trunxxx, owning a handcrafted garment is more than a purchase - it is a statement in favor of quality, sustainable practices, and authenticity.
