Faithfull the brand

If you're a fan of the feminine vintage shapes and prints of RIXO then Faithfull The Brand will definitely be up your street. Inspired by the vintage markets of the world, Faithful The Brand designs are influenced by the rare prints and fabrics found while travelling. Based in Bali, the brand has a strong ethical message and has done since it's creation. Produced by a family run factory since the beginning, the factory has grown simultaneously with the orders, in turn helping to support the local economy.

#2 Frescobol Carioca

Frescobol

Injecting a slice of South America into your holiday style, Frescobol Carioca offers fun colourful prints in resortwear straight from Brazil's capital, Rio de Janerio. Taking inspiration from the country's colourful and playful identity, designs replicate everything from the mosaics lining the streets, to the country's artistic heritage. Named after the beach game Frescobol, the brand started life simply producing bats, after founders and friends Harry and Max gained attention playing the game on the beaches of Brazil. After the popularity of the bats grew, the brand expanded and started producing men's resortwear. Frescobol is another brand taking sustainability seriously, with a specific in-house team dedicated to developing and researching products and processes that are more environmentally conscious and sustainable. From offsetting carbon emissions to handcrafting bats with off-cuts from the Brazilian furniture industry, the brand prides themselves on maintaining sustainability as one of their main pillars.

#3 Arizona Love

The ugly sandal trend has had a makeover. A lot less ugly but still as chunky and 'tourist sandal' like, Arizona Love are the new designer sandals on our wish list. With the likes of Teva, Birkenstock and Dr Marten's still very much in the limelight, Arizona Love offers a slightly more feminine and quirky edge to your summer footwear. Established in 2018 by French designer Leslie Halfon, the sandals still mimic the Dad sandal shape but have been crafted with vintage paisley bandanas with side ties to secure. The inspiration behind the design comes straight from Leslie's experiences, after spending a summer in the heat of Arizona. Even though the brand has only been on the scene for a few years, Arizona Love sandals have gained a loyal fan base of fashion influencers and it girls, including Camille Charriere and Jessie Bush.
