The new Spring/Summer 2026 collection was born as a tribute to the quiet strength and innate elegance of an extraordinary woman, my grandmother, Maria.
Each piece tells a fragment of her story, childhood memories, the colors of Sundays spent in her village where everyone adored her.
It is a tribute to the beauty of small things, just as she did, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary with care and passion, to her simple yet profound gestures, to her quiet strength, to the warmth she could convey with a glance or a shared dish.
In this line, shapes, colors, and materials intertwine to express the gentle soul of Maria, known as Serena the Great. Every detail is a small fragment of memory, to her ability to find beauty everywhere, especially in the simplest things.
This collection is the thread that unites past and present, tradition and inspiration, heart and hands. Each piece is conceived as an embrace, every stitching holds memories and love. A timeless collection, to enhance the authentic beauty and elegance that spans generations.
