Founder Cloe Cassandro's namesake London-based brand was born from a passion to create resortwear with a conscience. Her signature batik prints and summertime silhouettes are inspired by people and places, and are ethically made around the world. In her latest collection, Return to Form, you'll find pieces hand-printed in Denpasar, and crochet crafted in Singaraja, Bali, using local methods and craftsmen. Colourful knit mini dresses, chic co-ords and sheer cover-ups provide the perfect pieces to pack this summer, whether you're sunning in Saint Tropez or road-tripping in California, and the responsible design of the mix-and-match separates gives peace of mind.
Marseille brand Sessùn is one to have on your radar this summer. A staple in the French fashion scene, founder Emma François began her journey into design after a trip to Guatemala in Latin America. Inspired by local craftsmen and women, her brand marries local know-how and street culture and produces creative collections that play on artisan techniques, vintage codes and beautiful fabrics for the free-spirited woman. On our wishlist? The Darling Shell Shirt.
Brazilian swimwear brand ViX was one of the first brands to introduce luxury swimwear to women in the United States, and has continued to pioneer for over 20 years.

Her hand-crafted designs are a reflection of her Brazilian heritage, with bold, tasteful pieces full of detail and adorned with exquisite prints – a tribute to the vibrancy of her culture.

Earthy elements like jade and jasper stones, as well as sculptural elements in gold and silver are handmade by skilled artisans in Daphine's Jaipur atelier, and act as amulets that can be passed down through generations – the brand spirit rooted in family and timelessness.
