The return of crochet: why everyone wants it
Crochet — handmade openwork — is the star of summer 2026. It's the piece that speaks of slowness, craftsmanship and Mediterranean spirit, perfect over a swimsuit or as an evening dress on the beach. The Long Crocket Maxidress, long, openwork and with a bare back, is the trend's manifesto: wear it over your bikini as you arrive at the beach and it instantly becomes a sunset-aperitivo dress.

Discover the productThe beauty of crochet is its versatility: wear it on bare skin, over a colourful swimsuit or with a coordinating set underneath. In the crochet collection you'll find handmade tops, sets and dresses, while for longer, more dramatic looks you can explore women's maxi dresses. In this article we guide you piece by piece: swimsuits, tops, accessories, bags, hats and shoes.
Crochet swimsuits and bikinis
Crochet by the sea is pure magic: the openwork creates plays of skin and light that flatter your tan. The Monokini Lace, a one-piece swimsuit with a central crochet embroidery, is sensual and refined at once, while the Monokini uncinetto neck lace plays on a flattering neckline. These are the one-piece swimsuits that make every look seem effortlessly considered.

Crochet tops and dresses: from the crop top to the maxi dress
Out of the water, crochet becomes the star of the summer wardrobe. Crochet crop tops are the season's most versatile piece: pair them with jeans, long skirts and linen trousers. The Abito Lungo Crochet Wenwi, with a bare back and ties, is the perfect choice for a summer dinner, while coordinated sets like the Due pezzi crochet Yriwa sort your look in one go.

Straw bags and espadrilles: the Mediterranean finale
The trend is complete from feet to hands. Straw and raffia bags are the accessory of the summer: roomy, light and perfect from the beach to aperitivo. The Borsa di paglia con frange Coco's, with a short handle and long shoulder strap, is the most versatile, while the shell-shaped straw bag is a little gem to show off along the seafront.
