Looking at Fashion and Travel as a natural pair in a wanderluster’s life, which complement each other and walk side by side towards self-exploration and self-positioning, today we present to you three resort wear brands which have built their identity having in mind a sophisticated traveller’s needs. Keeping the refined designs aligned with practicality is a recipe not all brands can successfully manage, however, SANGUEL, EG|DAMGAARD and Akinda Co. have skilfully linked these two elements since inception time and we are delighted to share with you what makes them stand out of the crowd.
SANGUEL’s story had its first lines written in Paris in 2019. Carrying the glamorous beach life boldness of Los Angeles, Capri and Santorini on each piece’s shoulders, SANGUEL combines distinctive yarns with smart sexy cuts which praise the feminine silhouette, with or without jewellery. The designer herself has spent years in studying knitting techniques and practising the art of knitwear through her various roles in luxury fashion houses, such as Hugo Boss, and fast-fashion, as she was a senior designer of women’s knitwear at Inditex Group. Although her talent leads the brand’s distinctive quality, her passion for travel has always been the driving force behind the eclectic approach towards a jet-setter’s wardrobe. The collection includes a mix of knitwear as well as delicate swim wear, luxury kaftans, sluggish cover-ups and seductive cocktail dresses which wrap up a globe-trotter’s yacht days, beach party looks or negroni evenings by the pool.
Another luxury swimwear brand that pays ode to the modern, stylish and environmentally conscious traveler is EG | DAMGAARD. Inspired by the inviting, dark ocean waters and the history of the little mermaid the founder, Mie Eg Damgaard, who has strong family traditions of working with fabrics, has created a wardrobe for a would-be taskforce of seductive mermaids. The brand, which has roots in Copenhagen, has a mission to share the Nordic lifestyle through their pieces, which aim to be in your heart for many years and accompany many moments in your life. The brand’s uniqueness lies in their innovative slant on high-end fashion and their pieces have been designed having the traveller at the centre of attention as well as their sustainable nature. EG | DAMGAARD creates modern pieces from 100% recycled ocean plastic while everything they use, from fabrics to hang tags, has a sustainable aspect attached to it, too. They also work with factories that have a truly responsible approach towards their workers at the industrial production line and they support local communities through their actions, too. The little surprise we found while browsing their website and immediately put a smile on our face was the travel size bikini wash! Nice touch EG | DAMGAARD!
The third resort wear brand that takes into serious consideration travellers’ needs and is extremely relevant nowadays is Akinda. Inspired by the spontaneity and the sense of exploration a trip has to offer Akinda is the brand that wants to let you get the full experience of the moment and helps you do that in style. Their pieces have the incredible ability to look great from day to night; Akinda’s one-piece swimsuits could work well with several different outfits, providing versatility and a sense of effortless elegance to any outfit. Whatever your mind’s eye conjures, it is no exaggeration to say that Akinda’s clean lines can guarantee for swim wear with timeless value. Their signature piece, Solis, sits comfortably next to shorts and sandals at brunch or lights up an evening outfit. Their brand’s concept is around light travelling and stress free travel habits, which really matches the island life we all dream of when booking our next vacation.
