And ode to la dolce vita.

This spring, BeachCult slips into something serene: a sun-soaked, salt-laced collection for the barefoot muses of the Mediterranean.

Introducing Riviera, our Spring/Summer ‘26 collection — a sunlit stroll through soft lemon groves, terracotta balconies, and the coastal soul of the French and Italian coastlines. It’s not about the destination — it’s about a state of being. A mood. A reverie.

Riviera is a love affair with seaside glamour and slow afternoons. With pearl-toned silks and prints inspired by hand painted tiles, this collection brings a slice of European magic to Cape Town.

This is la dolce vita, the BeachCult way 🐚✨

A Mediterranean Daydream

Inspired by the faded glamour of Portofino summers and the allure of the French Riviera’s golden age, Riviera reimagines poolside simplicity and piazza-drifting elegance.

Picture this: you, sun-kissed and glowing, dancing barefoot across a tiled courtyard in our Sorrento Dress, the scent of lemons thick in the air. You dive into pools the colour of sapphires, wearing our new Scala Bikini. It’s the perfect season. 

The collection’s colour palette is dipped in azure, seafoam, and sun-bleached pearl — soft, romantic, and light-capturing. Its prints tell stories: blue-toned florals, coastal ceramics, and hand-painted tile motifs.

The Essence of Riviera

Riviera is for the woman who blends barefoot ease with sculptural style. She craves elegance without effort, and beauty that moves with the wind.

With a range of new and iconic styles, this collection comprises new visions and timeless favourites. With classic linen co-ords and curve-celebrating swimwear, to 100% silk kaftans and cover ups, Riviera brings hand selected prints and solids to you - each a wearable postcard from the Mediterranean.

Every piece is made to flow — from café to coastline, from sunrise to midnight dance, from quiet reverie to radiant celebration.

Consciously Created, Artfully Worn

At the heart of Riviera lies ethics and artistry. As always, every thread is sewn with purpose in Cape Town ateliers, honouring BeachCult’s commitment to mindful production and local craftsmanship.

Materials include:

• Recycled plastic and nylon
• LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres — biodegradable and kind to the earth
• Lightweight, breathable linens and silks made for high-summer wanderings
  
  

Each silhouette carries the soul of South African design, paired with the timeless magnetism of the Mediterranean.

For the Jet-Set Soul

Softly structured and effortlessly feminine, the Riviera collection features timeless resort separates, curve-loving swimwear, and airy dresses that drift like seafoam on skin. It's a celebration of slow days and spirited nights.

Whether yacht-bound or barefoot in a lemon grove, the BeachCult woman wears Riviera like second skin—confident, radiant, and deeply in tune with the pleasures of now.
