The Summer Essentials Kit: Everything You Need from Sunrise to Sunset

A great summer day doesn’t require a complicated wardrobe. It requires the right essentials. A swimsuit you feel confident in. A bag that carries everything without looking like luggage. Flip-flops that are actually cute. A water bottle you’re proud to be seen with. And one piece of clothing that takes you from the sand to a table without going home to change.

We curated the Essentials for the Summer collection around this idea: every item a woman needs for a full day in the sun, from the moment she walks out the door in the morning to the moment she sits down for dinner as the sun goes down. No filler. No extras. Just the pieces that earn their spot in your beach bag and your summer rotation. Here’s what’s inside and why each one matters.

The Swimwear: Three Options, One Philosophy

Every summer day starts with the same question: what am I wearing in the water? The Essentials collection offers three swimwear options, each designed for a different kind of confidence.

The Pink Solar Strapless One-Piece ($139) is for the woman who wants full coverage with a fashion-forward silhouette. The strapless cut eliminates tan lines while the solar print in warm pink and terracotta tones adds personality that a basic black one-piece never could. This is the swimsuit that looks just as good walking along the boardwalk as it does in the water.

The Brown Vichy Triangle Bikini Set ($119) is the classic. A triangle top with side-tie bottoms in a warm brown gingham pattern that feels vintage and timeless. The vichy check is one of those prints that never dates and always photographs well against sand and ocean.

The Pink Solar Bikini Set ($129) matches the one-piece in print but splits it into a front-knot top and low-waist bottom. The knot detail adds a playful, sporty touch. Same solar print, different energy. Choose based on your vibe, not your size.

The Bag: Your Whole Day in One Carry

The bag you bring to the beach says more about your summer style than almost anything you wear. The collection offers two options for two different women.

The Brown Beige Stripes Boho Straw Bag ($99) is the everyday summer tote. The woven straw construction in earth-toned stripes with a leather flower charm feels handcrafted and warm. It’s big enough for a towel, sunscreen, a book, and your wallet, but structured enough that it doesn’t collapse into a shapeless pile when you set it down. This is the bag for the woman who wants something beautiful and practical at the same time.

The Beige Shells Macrame Bag ($209) is the statement. Handcrafted macrame with fringe detailing and leather accents, it looks like something you discovered at a market on the coast of Bahia. It’s the bag that makes people ask where you got it. Bigger than it looks, lighter than you’d expect, and the kind of piece that elevates a swimsuit and flip-flops into an outfit.

The Details: Flip-Flops, Cap, Water Bottle

These are the pieces most people grab as afterthoughts. In the Essentials collection, they’re designed with the same care as everything else.

The tassel flip-flops ($39 each) come in two colorways that match the collection’s two palettes: the Brown Solar Tassel in warm earth tones, and the Blue Mergulho Tassel in ocean-inspired blues. The tassel detail at the strap turns a basic flip-flop into something you don’t need to swap out when you walk from the beach to a restaurant. At $39, they’re the most affordable piece in the collection and possibly the one you’ll use the most.

The Brown Poente Embroidered Suede Cap ($49) is the sun protection piece that doesn’t look like sun protection. The embroidered sunrise motif on rich brown suede feels like a souvenir from a place you love. It’s the cap that goes with every swimsuit, every outfit, every bad hair day from June through September.

The insulated water bottles ($69 each) come in Pink Solar and Blue Mergulho prints, matching the swimwear and flip-flop colorways. They keep water cold for 24 hours and look like a design object rather than gym equipment. The kind of bottle you leave on the table at a beach club and people notice.

The Transition Piece: From Beach to Dinner in 10 Seconds

Every summer essentials kit needs one piece of clothing that bridges the gap between the beach and the evening. One piece you pull on over your swimsuit at 5 PM that makes you restaurant-ready by 5:01.

The Brown Ruched Tiered Maxi Skirt ($159) is that piece. The ruched waistband sits comfortably over a one-piece or a bikini bottom. The tiered construction creates flowing movement that hides any sand or salt residue from the day. And the rich warm brown tone looks stunning in sunset light, against white tablecloths, and in every photo your friends take at dinner.

Add the Tidal Shells Necklace ($99), a gold chain dripping with real shells in amber, cream, and sand tones, and you’ve turned a swimsuit into a dinner outfit with one skirt and one necklace.

That’s the whole trick. You don’t need to go home and change. You just need the right skirt.

In Rio de Janeiro, where summer lasts most of the year, women don’t overcomplicate their warm-weather essentials. They invest in a great swimsuit, a bag that carries their whole day, shoes they can walk in from sand to sidewalk, and one piece that takes them from afternoon to evening without a wardrobe change. That’s it. That’s the kit. And that’s exactly what the Essentials for the Summer collection was built to be.

Here it's always sunny!
