The Authentic Bermuda Shorts brand has been awarded gold for Best Boutique and Best Men’s Store in the 2025 Best of Cayman Islands awards.

Tabs is the island lifestyle brand created in Bermuda by Rebecca Singleton, and expanded internationally two years ago with the opening of Tabs Cayman in Camana Bay.

The company called the awards a remarkable milestone and an endorsement of the growing international appeal of Tabs.

Tabs, which has two Bermuda stores, said the brand had become synonymous with quality, island-inspired clothing, led by its signature Bermuda shorts, which were designed and developed by an all-Bermudian team.

The company said: “Since opening, Tabs Cayman has not only introduced Bermuda’s iconic shorts and lifestyle apparel to a new audience but has also embraced local creativity, partnering with Caymanian entrepreneurs and designers on bespoke collaborations that reflect the culture and vibrancy of Cayman.

“Today, Tabs is stocked in select boutiques across Bermuda and internationally and through its global e-commerce platforms at tabsbermuda.com and tabscayman.com, ships island style to customers worldwide.”

Ms Singleton, the founder and director of Tabs, said: “To be honoured in two categories so quickly is a huge vote of confidence — not only in Tabs Cayman but in the strength of Bermuda brands and the growing international love for Tabs.

“The Best of Cayman Awards are decided by the public, which makes this recognition all the more meaningful. It shows we have created something with genuine international appeal. I am so grateful to all our supporters in both islands and team Tabs.”

She added: “This is just the beginning. Our vision is to bring Tabs to more destinations across the Caribbean, sharing Bermuda’s spirit and style with a global audience.”
