SUMMER'S CALLING
When the sun hangs high in the sky, we instinctively reach for cotton dresses, linen pants, and woven accessories — lightweight and breathable pieces that will help us beat the heat without sacrificing style. This season, we are bringing back the ever-popular Ida bags and espadrille shoes that evoke the effortless chic of a European summer.

The Ida returns in two fresh silhouettes: a knotted-handle tote bag and a chain-handle clutch. Both perfectly capture summer's easygoing vibe and offer a shortcut to achieving the season's highly coveted resort-chic aesthetic. The gold-toned chain handle adds a touch of glamour to the Ida clutch, elevating it to more sophisticated levels and ensuring it looks just as chic in the city as it does by the beach. Pair these accessories with a silk, linen, or cotton dress in a matching colour for an undeniably elegant look.
Got a summer holiday booked but nothing to wear? We've got you covered. The perfect do-it-all accessory for your trip is a playful yet practical woven bag. It will hold all your essentials and ensure you look stylish while gallivanting around, whether it's the sandy beaches of Bali, the sun-drenched Mediterranean, or the charming cobblestone streets of Europe.
Espadrille wedges are the perfect footwear choice, offering stability, glamour, and a height boost. They are chunky with a relaxed seventies vibe, and with their comeback on the horizon, you will be ahead of the fashion curve.

While woven accessories might seem reserved for daytime adventures, that's not always the case. The woven espadrille thong sandals, with their elevated platform soles and understated gold-toned emblem detail, will add a touch of sophisticated charm to any outfit. Swap your stilettos for these sandals at the beach club's after-dark party, and you will still look perfectly in place while feeling much more comfortable.
Where bags are concerned, a compact piece like the Ida knotted-handle bag is ideal for the evening, creating a streamlined look while holding all your night-out essentials. Alternatively, make a bold statement with the Ida striped tote bag featuring a vibrant mix of blue and green. Pair it with a contrasting pink dress for a chic, dopamine-boosting look that exudes summer vibrancy.
