To add something useful:
The owners of Pengu have been selling leftover stocks of their suits up until a couple of weeks ago on Ebay, so they might even have some left. The easiest way to contact them would be probably via their instagram account (it seems to be run as a fan site now, but the owners of the brand are still involved).
Also I believe their production was done by a contractor in Poland which probably still exists and might be commissioned to produce similar suits (though probably not with the original sewing patterns).

Do you know the name of the polish contractor?

I have been in contact thru email with Pengu’s owner. I might be able to ask him about the Polish contractor.

That would be great, I don't know the name.

Unfortunately, Pengu's owner has gone silent when I asked him about the manufacturer for the swimsuits. Seems like he doesn't want to divulge the info.
I asked him twice, once on April 7th, the second time on April 11th. Both times he did not respond to me, nor response with a "no"
Something tells me this is not going to be the last time we see Pengu, or at least, this incarnation.

Can you try elaborate what sets Pengu apart from brands like Leohex, Amoresy etc. - just asking because I never had Pengu in hand myself.
And then I mean in terms of fabric; sheen, thickness, elasticity and smoothness. To me, Leohex, Amoresy, MJINM and Aesco all share pretty much identical level of quality regarding those Lycra fabric properties.

I'll try my best to describe it.
In terms of fabric, it isn't as smooth as Leohex, a bit rougher, but still an amazing feeling. It is not like those cheap swimsuits out there.
Thickness, it is as thin as leohex.
Elasticity is, to me, the biggest factor. It is very tight, tight in all the right places: my chest, my butt, my stomach.
The back cut is amazing as well, brazillian cut, it's half way between a full cut and thong. It makes me feel very sexy and sensual.
I'd say Pengu would be more popular if they sell it for 20 euros cheaper, 50 instead of 70.

Speedo swimsuits are very tight in all the right places. And the waterpolo/hydrosuit costs between 30 (sale) and 45euros.

I think I might need to buy a Speedo waterpolo suit to try out. Where do you reckon I can get one, in the US?
