GREETINGS FROM OUR DESIGNER

When I started sketching this season’s collection in the spring of 2023, nature was just shaking off the thick blanket of snow. There wasn’t even a hint of green in the trees and the temperature had just barely been rising above zero degrees. My gaze was still on the coming summer and the new collection.

This season, I wanted to continue the city-outdoor theme seen in the AW23 collection, making it suitable for the summer season. As usual, golf is also a strong part of the collection, but the golf products are also suitable for other summer activities. The overall appearance of the collection has undergone a slight rejuvenation - special attention has been paid to the fit, patterns and products themselves. Especially in women’s golf products, many new designs can be seen, for example leggings, shorts and even hoodies for casual rounds of golf.

The biggest novelty for this season is a really colorful and sporty women’s D-fit collection, where short and curvy women and their shapes are especially taken into account. In general, the products are more technical, in the hybrid products the material has been renewed and, in accordance with the summer season, there are more UV shirts. The sock collection is also growing with two colorful sports socks.

While the design process is largely determined by current trends, customers’ needs and forecasts for future seasons, there is always a need for some unique factor that will give the collection its soul. That’s where the spice of my work lies! A lot of inspiration is gained just by following the field and trends, but in my case, the design process is usually triggered by some experience of my own everyday life.

This season’s collection got its final inspiration when I went through my camera roll and the pictures from last summer. Bright, beautiful, and harmonic colors of nature and its own whimsical geometry are something that I have always loved.

I hope you enjoy the collection!
