The third run of this coveted collaboration is giving us wanderlust

Summers are for beach getaways, which also equate to coastal dressing—and there is no collection that satisfies both like Loewe’s third collaboration with Paula’s, the famed Ibiza boutique.

An ode to the flamboyant spirit of the Balearic Islands, the collection of free-spirited styles fuses Paula’s vibrant archival prints with the Spanish house’s craftsmanship.

With a strong focus on organic and natural fibers, raffia and sisal find themselves woven into beach-ready accessories dipped in rainbow colours and playful prints. Raw textures and handcrafted techniques add seaside charm to the Loewe Puzzle, Hammock and Gate bags with a touch of hippie whimsy.

As for ready-to-wear, expect a summer wardrobe that’s quintessentially ‘70s boho. Think patchwork denim, fringed hoodies and floaty crochet skirts in light, breezy fabrics elevated by the house’s artisanal expertise. Fringing, tassels and wooden bead latticework give shape and texture to carefree silhouettes in linen, natural cotton and terry cloth.

1. Paula T-shirt necklaces

We’re all for two-in-one creations, especially when it’s an essential white T-shirt already accessorised with beach-friendly beaded necklaces. The other plus side: Less to bring, more to shop.

2. Paula Patchwork Long Shirt

Like the basic white tee, a white shirt is a travel essential. This patchwork long shirt in linen is the ideal beach vacay piece that’s not only lightweight but extremely versatile and easily shared between both genders. For the ladies, the oversized silhouette makes for a perfect swimsuit cover-up or shirtdress; and a simple yet playful shirt for dinner on the beach for the guys.

3. Paula Small Heel Pouch

A micro bag with a statement shoulder strap is the only other bag you really need to traipse around the island. The perfect miniature size to stash your credit card, cash and keys, we admit we love it more for ornamental reasons. Wear this around your neck.
