Swallow is a clothing brand and clothing store in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
They are a beach fashion clothing retailer with an emphasis on androgyny. Its in-game website is Swallowco.com. The website includes introductions to "Swallow Boy" and "Swallow Girl", both androgynously named Aynsley. There is a large company banner advertisement located next to the Caca store on Hawick Avenue that reads "San Androgyny". The company's website also states that 'an army of oiled-up Aryan metrosexuals blocks the doorway' in their stores, a reference to real-life Hollister, and their accusations of racial bias for mostly employing white models for their store displays and advertisements.

Influence[]
It parodies the American clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch and more specifically, its Hollister brand. The name and logo of the company is a reference to the swallow, a species of bird native to Europe and North America, also referencing to the act of swallowing semen during oral sex, another one of Rockstar's sexual jokes. In real life, Swallow is a very cheap brand of flip-flops that is manufactured in Medan, Indonesia. Coincidentally, the company's Bleeter page also claimed that their products are made by Indonesian 12-year-olds.
The Portola Drive building is based on 260 North Rodeo Drive[1], occupied in real life by Lanvin.
