Far from the crowds and the rush of everyday life, CALA BIMBA embodies an intimate, idyllic retreat that exists somewhere between memory and imagination, and one we long to return to.
From this dreamlike world emerges CALA BIMBA, BIMBA Y LOLA’s High Summer 2026 capsule collection. Created exclusively for the season, it marks the beginning of a new annual tradition: a recurring summer proposal that will be reimagined with each edition, capturing the spirit of endless summers through a fresh creative lens.
Designed for spontaneity and escape, CALA BIMBA is versatile, effortless, and made to fit into a light suitcase. It is a collection created for long sun-drenched days, balmy evenings, and unplanned adventures.
To introduce the collection, BIMBA Y LOLA brings together three protagonists—Rolf Schrader, Stef Bonomo, and Svetlana Lethelier—captured through the lens of creative director and photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch. Set against the backdrop of a secluded cove, the campaign unfolds like a summer day suspended in time. Sea swims, algae-covered rocks, and brilliant Mediterranean light create a cinematic atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and timeless.
At the heart of CALA BIMBA is a relaxed summer uniform shaped by natural textures and artisanal details. Organic cotton, linen, and raffia form the foundation of the collection, while embroidered dresses and shirts evoke treasured finds from antique markets. Fluid skirts, wide-leg trousers, and lightweight mesh pieces are paired with marine-inspired motifs, bead embellishments, and sculptural resin appliqués, creating a wardrobe that moves effortlessly from daytime ease to evening elegance.
This coastal sensibility is embodied in standout pieces such as the handcrafted net top, one of the collection’s key elements. Inspired by traditional fishing nets, it reinforces CALA BIMBA’s connection to the sea. A custom logo, inspired by the typography of traditional beach bars, appears throughout the collection, weaving a sense of place and nostalgia into its identity.
Welcome to CALA BIMBA—a place where summer never seems to end. A hidden destination beyond the map, accessible only to those willing to embrace the moment.
CALA BIMBA will take shape through a series of seasonal pop-ups in three iconic coastal destinations: Sanxenxo, Menorca, and Tarifa. Stretching between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, each location offers its own interpretation of the collection’s carefree spirit, inviting visitors to experience the world of CALA BIMBA firsthand.
