Head into the summer season with Louis Vuitton’s Nautical Capsule collection.

Traverse the sleepy coastal towns of iconic holiday destinations dressed in elegant attire that embody the liberated spirit of adventure. Encapsulating this energy is Louis Vuitton’s Nautical Capsule collection that spans a myriad of ready-to-wear, leather goods and fashion jewellery to complete your hot summer look. Featuring relaxed tailored pieces, feminine sets and timeless swimwear, the collection’s fine-tuned balance of casual chic ensembles are peppered with seafaring elements that offer a youthful and breezy allure.

In keeping with the nautical theme, looks are “anchored by white and navy, while stripes appear throughout” the collection, transpiring as feminine jackets, pinstripe mini dresses, playsuits and more. The attires are at once modern and timeless and can be mixed and matched seamlessly to “convey a certain polish suited to both city and coastal dressing”. As with stripes, a graphic anchor motif also punctuates the collection in style, complementing the stripes in a whimsical manner.

Moving on to accessories, the collection’s thematic white and navy colours are prominent, giving rise to new iterations of wardrobe staples such as the Neverfull bag in monochrome blue and the GO-14 bag adorned with white cotton-rope embroidery on its plush silhouette. The colour red also takes centre stage in this collection, providing a vibrant accent that complements the collection in its entirety. Pieces to note in this fiery hue include the stylish GO-14 bag, the compact Coussin BB and the spacious Noé BB bucket bag. For more daring novelty pieces that will make a splash, the delectable Capucines Mini embellished with striped sequins is a stellar item to have in your closet, while the miniature Phare bag inspired by the lighthouse will make a delightful addition to your growing collection of unique arm candies.

The maritime spirit of the collection is further explored through elegant silks that feature nautical interpretations of the House’s distinctive Monogram motif complete with ropes and anchors. Look to the square Sailor Bandana in navy blue, sky blue and vermillion for a creative touch to your outfit. Elsewhere, expressive jewellery, sporty-chic bucket hats and platform sandals complete the collection’s sophisticated interpretation of nautical dressing.
