Patterns & Visual Universe
The Palma Aurea bikini top is much more than just a piece of swimwear: it is a solar invocation , a textile fresco inspired by lands scorched by light.
Its exclusive pattern blends stylized palm trees, solar symbols, and organic shapes in a shimmering palette that combines ochre, amethyst, emerald, and coral. Each color tells a story: that of dreamy Africa, the vibrant Mediterranean, and memories of endless summers.
Conceived as a work of art, each print is digitally generated and then carefully interpreted on fabric. This innovative approach preserves the authenticity of the design, while protecting the originality of our creations.
The result? A visual universe that is both contemporary and rooted , carried by the energy of the sun and the richness of heritage.
Style Tips
The Palma Aurea headband feels like a breath of summer on the skin.
Minimalist and graphic, it stands on its own, but also fits into a stylized, sunny and free composition .
☀️ Pair it with the matching Palma Aurea briefs for a harmonious and radiant silhouette at the water's edge.
🌴 For a chic and relaxed look, play with layers: an oversized white shirt , slightly open, tied at the waist, and flowing linen pants or a long printed skirt .
🌅 For an aperitif at sunset: add a pair of gold earrings , a light silk kimono or a revisited wax pareo , and let the light do the rest.
👡 Footwear: raffia sandals, embroidered espadrilles, or bare feet in the sand—anything goes, as long as you walk gracefully.
