Creating Summer Essentials with Ivresse

Paros has held a special place in my heart for years. One of my best friends lives on the island, so every summer I find myself returning to its familiar landscapes, sea, light and slower rhythm. It has become a place that feels like home.

Meeting Vaya and Alexia felt equally natural. We clicked straight away, not only because we are all summer girls at heart, but because we share a similar way of approaching design—creating pieces that are thoughtful, timeless and made to be truly lived in. I have always admired Ivresse for their effortless silhouettes, beautiful craftsmanship and the ease with which they celebrate island life.

For our collaboration, we worked with one of Ivresse’s signature fabrics—their beautiful waffle cotton. I naturally dyed it in three colourways that we all fell in love with, and together we transformed it into a small collection of everyday summer essentials: tote bags, bucket hats and make-up bags. It is a collaboration inspired by slow summers, the Aegean landscape, and the joy of creating with people who share the same values.
