Swannies

What Swannies does

Swannies (doing business as Swannies Golf) is a privately held direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand selling performance golf apparel through its Shopify-powered website, swannies.co. The company serves recreational golfers across men's, women's, and youth segments, with product categories spanning polos, hoodies, shorts, skorts and dresses, layers and outerwear, headwear, and accessories including luggage, towels, and golf bags. Its merchandise emphasizes technical fabric features—4-way stretch, moisture-wicking, REPREVE recycled polyester, and bamboo charcoal blends—along with construction details like stay-right collars and herringbone textures, marketed as apparel that transitions from course to everyday wear.

Revenue is generated through three streams: unit-priced direct apparel sales (polos $65–$99, hoodies $89–$149, shorts $69–$79), digital e-gift cards in $15–$150 denominations, and a quarterly subscription product called the Swannies Flock Box at $89 per quarter. The brand pursues a horizontal segmentation strategy across men, women, and youth, and monetizes a portfolio of officially licensed university merchandise spanning Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, and additional conferences. Co-branded collaborations include the RangeGoats GC line (Bubba Watson's LIV Golf team) and the TRUE x Swannies Vacay Slide with TRUE Linkswear. The company offers free U.S. shipping on orders above $100 with 30-day returns, supports 100+ countries with localized currency, and uses 100% recycled packaging. No external funding, headcount, revenue figures, or named management are disclosed in available source material.
