a vintage summer collection: of Shells and Sands

collection nò. 4


like a wild rosy flower on a remote coastline we see the horizon


we begin to walk

we look inside us

we see and we find


search for rare shells

remote sandy beaches

flat land on either side

deep coastline blue 


background sound

of emotional waves

footprints newfound

vanishing underwater


lost to the ocean

stream brings us

on new beaches

a floating wildflower



This vintage capsule collection nò 4. revolves around shades of pink and cream, like an gentle invitation into summertime. While curating this collection, I was deeply inspired by memories of moments, when I walked along a remote sandy beach or a coastal cliff by the sea. Every time the vast openness evokes me a sense of infinity and freedom.


I find solace in secluded beaches and trails, where the connection with natural elements is intensively present: the sea, the mountains, the cliffs with winding paths along the coast and the sound of waves crashing against the rocky walls. On the other side, there are ethereal views of a flat farmland instead. These are the water places I cherish most, places of untouched beauty and wild nature. Here, as a human, I simply admire.

In those times, I let my mind slow down and wander. I remember looking for precious shells and stones, a habit I continue to this day (sometimes). This collection is inspired therefore by the refreshing, tranquil and breezy feeling that calms the mind, reminiscent of being at the beach, surrounded by infinite pastel shades while reconnecting with the inner child we once were.


Inspirations behind the colour palette:

The cream hues remind me the colour of sand and shells; the pinks evokes the tiny flowers found along the coastlines, while the turquoise brings to my mind the hidden crystal-clear waters. The imagery of shells and sands is connecting the landscapes in a realm where freedom and grounding coexist.


with love and light
