Memories of summers at the family house. The room with wallpaper, painted hand in hand with my best friend. Calm, golden light, time standing still. The sand gently slips in, transforming everything. Color arrives, along with joy and a spark.

This is how my summer story begins, set to the vibrant rhythm of summer.

Accessories play an essential role in completing this summer narrative. Handbags are perceived as enhanced companions for warm-weather living, combining clean design, noble materials and artisanal savoir-faire. From sculptural leather designs to lightweight natural fibres, each piece enhances the collection’s minimalist spirit while introducing character and purpose.

Matryoshka Pocket, crafted in exclusive Olivo leather with expressive, natural grain, stands out for its distinctive structure and meticulous organisation, featuring multiple pockets and subtle initials engraved on the front. Inspired by traditional Russian nesting dolls, the Matryoshka collection explores versatility through scale and craft, with each piece handmade in its own Leather Atelier in Spain.

Initials Insignia and Doma Insignia bags cut-out reinterpret signature codes through contemporary silhouettes. The former is distinguished by its metallic Insignia closure inspired by the house´s anniversary bracelet, while the latter introduces a lighter, summery expression through Acacia leather with a carved Insignia motif and linen inner pouch.

Natural textures define the season through distinctive designs. Camelot combines raffia with embroidered Rosetta Insignia and subtle fringed detailing, while Metropolitan Insignia clutch transforms the iconic anniversary bracelet into a sculptural, gold-toned structure supporting metallic braided raffia, finished with the signature CH Carolina Herrera jasmine.

Everyday summer icons such as the CHaramba, Aveiro and Capazo bags celebrate artisanal techniques, sun-dried reed, braided palm fibres and hand-embroidered raffia, blending durability with effortless lightness. Each piece reveals warm, sun-touched hues, textured patchworks and handcrafted details that make it truly unique. The final standout: a classic Vendome in algae, crafted from resilient Japanese seaweed, twisted and woven by hand into a sculptural, rustic form that defines the season.

Designed for women and men alike, the collection embraces understated elegance, where simplicity, comfort and craftsmanship converge to define a modern summer wardrobe.

Lightweight silhouettes, fluid lines and breathable fabrics shape a series of effortless pieces that move naturally with the body. Neutral tones and sun-washed hues create a palette of calm sophistication. Each garment is conceived to transition seamlessly from day to night, city to coast, reflecting a relaxed yet polished attitude.

Summer Essentials is an invitation to embrace a season defined by clarity, lightness and ease. A curated selection of wardrobe and accessories designed to endure beyond trends, celebrating a contemporary vision of summer dressing through refined detail, exceptional materials and timeless appeal.
