The sun taking its part in the azure blue sky, the thermometer rising while leaving a warm veil on the skin, the sound of waves mixed with that of cicadas… Summer vacations are coming, and with them the summer getaways in postcard landscapes<\/strong>. With such beautiful scenery at hand, it\u2019s no longer the settings cradled by mythology or those of the Italian boot that make us dream, but those of our not-so-distant south. Dare to leave on a whim, from 3 days to 3 weeks, with just a carry-on bag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover all our tips to curate your capsule collection<\/strong>, which will dress you in the calanques<\/strong>, from dawn till dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a capsule collection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have already heard the term capsule collection<\/strong>? This concept, specific to fashion and developed by many brands at a certain point in their history, now extends to many fields. So much so that you can even find capsule collections of champagne… But let’s get back to the point and its definition. A capsule collection is the creation of a line of clothing and accessories<\/strong>, with only a small number of pieces<\/strong>. These collections are often co-created in limited series between an artist or personality and a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimalism in the wardrobe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Very present since the 2000s in the fashion world, this idea of capsule collection has also slipped into wardrobes. Emphasizing a minimalist approach<\/strong>, by choosing only a few pieces that can be styled in multiple looks<\/strong>, this fashion trend aligns with current desires to consume less<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thus stop accumulating<\/strong> 15 similar tops and 20 pairs of jeans, half of which have never had the chance to be worn. The same goes for those shoes worn only once at Baptiste and L\u00e9a’s wedding, and the tons of jewelry that rival the stocks of Man\u00e8ge \u00e0 bijoux. We choose timeless pieces<\/strong> that enhance us, and prioritize, if possible, brands with responsible practices<\/strong>. And with these few pieces, we have plenty of looks, and goodbye to the hours spent not knowing which pieces to wear among the mountain that constitutes our wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can thus have at home a capsule collection for each season<\/strong>, which takes over from one another throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to pack in record time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The concept of the capsule collection is also extremely interesting for another context: that of vacations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, we all know the chore of packing for a trip<\/strong>… At first, we think, “Just a few pieces will be enough.” We know very well that every year we bring way too much, and in the end, we spend our time in flip-flops and swimsuits…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, we remember that super cute crochet cardigan<\/a>, which would be perfect for a dinner at a restaurant, even though we know it will stay under our arm… Oh! And that little raffia beach bag<\/a>! Although we can\u2019t fit our phone in it, it would still look great in a photo with our bohemian dress<\/a>, well, one of the 5 we brought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, you can\u2019t hide anything from us; we know very well how packing preparations go… But then, what if the capsule collection could be the solution to being trendy this summer<\/strong>, all with just a small suitcase? By choosing only a few pieces, you\u2019ll have trendy looks ready to wear, and with a non-negotiable space-saving<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calanques of Marseille, the trendy destination for summer 2022!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their turquoise waters flood our newsfeeds, between reels and stories, the dives follow one another in the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong> reflecting the golden sun. The national park of the calanques of Marseille<\/strong> becomes every summer the spot to get a tan<\/strong>. Wild and refreshingly different, the calanques stretch over more than 25 km, with the most preserved ones reached after some walking along coastal trails<\/strong>. An idyllic setting for strolls serenaded by cicadas, and days leaving us salty-skinned, all easily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, if the C\u00f4te d’Azur is so popular among vacationers<\/strong>, it\u2019s mainly for its ease of access. By train, by bus, or even catching a carpool, no need to fly to the Cyclades to get away. Once there, you just have to walk into the pine forest to find these azure parentheses. And with this proximity, the departure can even happen on a whim, whether for a long vacation or a long weekend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
