Late brunches, weekend escapes, and endless bar hopping. The upcoming season holds many temptations. So we’ve squeezed the most out of our sleek summer collection by mixing the best of two worlds – our Scandinavian heritage and a slightly sour Italian twist. Our new lemon-printed attire sure adds all the zest you need – and won't leave you unnoticed.
To step things up a notch we’ve teamed up with the Stockholm-based bartender and YouTuber David Kringlund and asked him to interpret our Bella Sardegna collection into a delicious summer drink – The Eton Gimlet with a twist of lemon. So let’s reveal the skills, and the secret recipe needed, to prepare The Eton Gimlet with perfection.
