Our Round-Up of the Ultimate Vacation Style, Curated by ALVICA
As we approach the end of summer, we’ve gathered a round-up of our most essential, timeless pieces, designed to follow us through many summers to come.
Whether you're exploring sun-drenched islands or wandering through city streets, ALVICA’s dresses and kaftans bring ease, character, and craftsmanship to wherever your vacation takes you. Designed with movement in mind and rooted in slow fashion, each piece is a reflection of its origins—carrying the textures, colours, and charm of elsewhere.
ISLAND ESCAPE
On island time, dressing is joyful and uncomplicated. The Rainbow Kaftan, embroidered by hand, brings just the right mix of vibrancy and ease. The cotton has a slightly thicker handle than our other pieces, which is ideal for a breeze off the water or late-night dinners.
For a softer take, reach for the Strawberry or Peach Tunic - both cut from ultra-light organic cotton and printed with delicate Indian florals. With their easy, unstructured fit, these tunics are made for long days that drift between swims, terraces, and slow strolls through town.
COASTAL TOWNS & HARBOUR WALKS
The Camellia Dress captures the spirit of coastal discovery — bold, wearable, and beautifully detailed. Printed with rich blue camellias and finished with embroidery at the neckline, it transitions with ease from harbour walks to al fresco dinners. Pair it with a woven bag and sandals, or dress it up with a gold necklace and something sparkling.
Layer on a Palm Tree Pareo—available in blue, pink, or green—for a finishing touch that feels effortless and handmade. Wear it as a sarong, wrap it over your shoulders at sunset, or use it as a soft layer on warm stone steps.
CITY BREAKS
City style should feel polished, yet effortless—and that’s what makes The Dahlia Dress, stand out. Its simplicity, the radiance of its red, and the boldness of its tree motifs give it a distinctive character that immediately catches the eye. Cut from breathable cotton, it is the perfect dress for dinners when you want to look elegant without trying too hard. More than just beautiful, it carries the unmistakable imprint of India—a piece with a story to tell, and the very essence of ALVICA.
The Dahlia Silk Dress is a truly unique piece, defined by its vibrant, luminous print—rich with colour and reminiscent of the lushness of India’s gardens. Full-length and fluid, it’s the dress you reach for on more sophisticated evenings. Paired with gold jewellery and simple sandals, it becomes an effortless statement—elegant, distinctive, and unforgettable.
RURAL RETREATS
There’s a reason why the Jasmine Dress is our best-seller. It is the easiest piece to wear: light, breezy, and effortlessly comfortable, yet so distinctive thanks to its motif, hand block printed on yarn-dyed fabric. With its soft yellow stripes and relaxed cut, it brings an elegance that feels different and memorable. Perfect for golden afternoons and countryside markets, it is the piece you will keep reaching for.
For something slightly more tailored, the Hazel Kaftan brings simplicity with quiet strength. Its crisp cotton holds shape beautifully, while the ivory piping gives a refined edge. Whether you're heading out for an aperitivo or walking around town, it’s a piece that always feels appropriate—without trying too hard.
At ALVICA, we believe what you wear should reflect not just the place - but the feeling. Each piece is curated with joy, rooted in craft, and ready to travel with you.
