“Santolina is about creating pieces that move with you. Each design is intentional, feminine, and quietly powerful - a reflection of the woman it’s made for.”
These words from Nada Bader, Founder and Creative Director of Santolina, set the tone for the brand’s highly anticipated UAE launch. Born from a personal journey of renewal at Villa Santolina, a 300-year-old farmhouse in Italy, the fashion house arrives as a sanctuary of reflection and creativity, bringing Mediterranean heritage to the modern Middle Eastern sensibility.
Nada Bader’s professional background in construction and real estate provides an unconventional yet stellar foundation for fashion. This expertise in structure is shows up in every seam, combining precise tailoring with fluid femininity. By blending Italian craftsmanship with an innate understanding of design, the brand puts it focus on the architecture of a garment.
At the core of its Middle East debut is the signature capsule, Flora. Crafted from luxurious silk and linen blends, Flora features hand-drawn floral prints inspired by the gardens of Villa Santolina, complemented by sculpted waistlines, soft tailoring and refined silhouettes that flatter and flow.
The wider collection extends into tailored pantsuits and versatile matching sets, draped in a serene palette of white, beige, blush pink, baby blue, and muted sage, reflecting a perfect harmony between strength and softness.
