The Shiva Designs Euro Summer Edit: Mallorca, Nice & The Art of Travelling Beautifully
There is something undeniably magical about a European summer.
The long lunches. The sun-drenched afternoons. The markets overflowing with flowers, fresh produce and handcrafted treasures. It’s a season that invites us to slow down, savour every moment and embrace a more beautiful way of living.
This year, my Euro Summer inspiration comes from two destinations that perfectly capture that spirit: Mallorca and Nice.
Both embody effortless elegance, relaxed luxury and a love of craftsmanship—values that have always inspired the collections we curate at Shiva Designs.
Mallorca: Bohemian Luxury Meets Mediterranean Charm
Mallorca has mastered the art of understated luxury.
Stone villages cling to mountainsides, hidden coves reveal impossibly blue water and every market seems to offer another beautiful handmade treasure.
It’s the perfect destination for travelling light yet stylishly.
A tote becomes your constant companion—carrying everything from beach essentials to market finds. A flowing kaftan takes you effortlessly from breakfast overlooking the sea to sunset cocktails in Deià. Jewellery inspired by nature catches the golden Mediterranean light.
The beauty of Mallorca lies in its simplicity, and the best travel pieces do the same.
Pack For Mallorca:
• A canvas Rose in April Tote for beach days and village markets
• Lightweight cotton kaftans that transition effortlessly from day to evening
• Statement jewellery that elevates even the simplest linen outfit
• A beautifully crafted toiletry kit to keep travel essentials organised
Nice: Riviera Chic and Timeless Style
If Mallorca feels bohemian, Nice feels distinctly French.
The Riviera has long been synonymous with effortless glamour. Think striped umbrellas, oversized sunglasses, linen separates and leisurely afternoons overlooking the sea.
The key to Riviera style is investing in beautiful pieces that work hard throughout your trip.
A generously sized tote becomes your carry-on, shopping companion and beach bag. A chic toiletry case keeps everything organised while travelling between destinations. Jewellery adds personality and polish, whether you’re strolling through the markets of Old Town or dining by the water at sunset.
It’s a style philosophy we love: beautiful, functional and timeless.
Pack For Nice:
• An Artchives Tote for flights, day trips and market mornings
• A luxurious toiletry kit that makes every hotel bathroom feel organised
• Gold statement jewellery for effortless evening glamour
• Easy, elegant kaftans for poolside lunches and seaside strolls
