It’s March and I think we can all agree–we can’t wait for the upcoming months of sun! Summer is the perfect time of the year to unwind and relax, whether you do it on a beach, by the pool, in the mountains or just in your home–that’s up to you! Resetting and rejuvenating are the keywords of the season. And as people start to take those much-needed vacations they’ve been dreaming about now that summer holidays are about to start, resort wear is making a comeback.
Resort wear, also known as vacation wear or cruise collection, refers to garments that are normally reserved for resorts and travels. It consists of luxurious, free-flowing silhouettes, beautiful floral prints and colourful garments. This year, if you’re looking to invest in a few new holiday-appropriate styles, then why not add sustainability to the selection criteria as well?
Here’s where Nåd comes in. Launched by Joanne Stoker, the womenswear brand combines the Scandinavian design style of simplicity and minimalism with tropical, modern influences inspired by Sri Lanka. The Colombo-based designer works with deadstock textiles that are upcycled into gorgeous, easy-to-wear garments. They are made using lightweight, breathable fabrics in cotton poplin, jersey and fine linens. Overall, the brand follows a zero waste philosophy, ensuring that no part of the textiles they source is wasted.
For Nåd, sustainability doesn’t just stop at protecting the environment–it means protecting people too. The brand has committed to using sustainable, ethical practices to manufacture the garments. They work hard to protect the local heritage crafts and textiles, while offering empowerment employment opportunities to the native craftswomen.
Take a look at some of their voluminous, contemporary resort wear garments that are perfect for every woman looking to embrace the cruise life this summer. Trust us, the hot days roll in, you’ll want to try their comfortable and modern designs.
