Introducing Stylecamp's latest summer staples, inspired by sun-soaked escapes and gorgeous vintage glamour.


There’s something about summer that calls for a slower pace, a lighter touch, and easy dressing. It’s the season for unfussy silhouettes, airy textures, and effortless elegance.


This season, Stylecamp unveils two timeless new arrivals: the high-waisted Pleat Skirt and its matching Japanese style Knot Bag, each piece a celebration of vintage femininity, warm-weather dressing, and joyfully coordinated outfits.

Inspired by sun-drenched days by the Mediterranean and the carefree glamour of 1950s Riviera style, these new designs are here to whisk you away to a sunnier state of mind.



INSPIRED BY THE FRENCH RIVIERA


Fresh from a trip tracing the coastline from lavender-scented Provence to lemon-bright Menton on the French-Italian border, these latest Stylecamp designs are infused with the spirit of that golden stretch of summer paradise.


Colorful urban building with bright shutters and balconies, decorated with plants and laundry. Sunny, cheerful Mediterranean vibe.

From terracotta villas with their contrasting mint-green shutters, and vibrant market stalls brimming with ripe fruit and blooms, to the cool, shaded streets of the hilltop villages, this is a collection that captures the everyday romance of life on the Riviera.

With a nod to French icon Brigitte Bardot’s 1950s wardrobe - flared skirts, gingham prints, and sunkissed simplicity - these pieces reimagine vintage glamour through a modern, wearable lens. They’re made for wandering, for lingering, for slowing down - and for feeling beautiful while doing very little at all.




THE PLEAT SKIRT


Woman in a striped top and orange skirt stands by flowers and a stone statue, hands in pockets. Rustic stone backdrop, lush greenery.

With its flattering high-waisted silhouette and softly structured knife pleats, the Pleat Skirt is all about ease and movement. It’s designed for those who love a little vintage romance in their everyday — a nod to the Brigitte Bardot era of full skirts, fresh prints and textures, and sun-drenched daydreams.


GREEN GINGHAM

The green gingham pleat skirt is light and airy, made from a crisp polycotton check that swishes playfully with every step. Fresh, floaty, and made for sunshine. Relaxed yet refined with its modest knee length, it’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again — perfect for slow market mornings, seaside dinners, or simply twirling barefoot on the terrace.




TEXTURED ORANGE COTTON

The orange cotton pleat skirt brings a little more structure and boldness to the look. Made from a beautifully textured 100% cotton in a rich coral-orange hue, it channels all the warm, sunbaked colours of the Côte d’Azur.



Thoughtfully designed for comfort, quality, and timeless appeal, both skirts are fully lined for added fullness — with a surprise pop of Stylecamp’s signature mint green. And yes, they have those all-essential pockets too!



THE KNOT BAG

What’s a holiday outfit without the perfect bag? Complete the look with Stylecamp’s matching Japanese style knot bags in green gingham or orange cotton. These lightweight accessories slip effortlessly over the wrist with their clever self-looping handle - it’s the perfect grab-and-go bag for café stops, holiday strolls, or a night out dining al fresco.



A roomy boxed base and two internal patch pockets offer enough space to carry your daily must-haves while keeping everything neat and secure. Both the green gingham and the orange cotton bags are fully lined in the same signature mint cotton, adding a playful flash of colour every time you reach inside.



Perfectly packable in your suitacase for holidays, delightfully matchy, and ideal for dressing up your outfit - whether worn as a coordinated set with your skirt or styled with your favourite sundress.

STYLE IT YOUR WAY

Pair your Pleat Skirt with a Stylecamp crop top or bodysuit for a breezy, coordinated Riviera look that feels effortlessly put together. Or tie up a soft linen blouse and slip on a pair of espadrilles for an easy, vintage-inspired outfit that’s perfect for sunny days.

Add a wide-brimmed hat, a flick of eyeliner, and you’ve got Brigitte Bardot energy without even trying. And of course, don’t forget the matching Knot Bag for the ultimate matchy-matchy moment that brings the whole look together.
