This summer, a new voice joined the conversation around luxury swim and resortwear — and it speaks softly yet confidently. On July 15, Swiss-based brand Franca Vinka unveiled its first collection, proving that less truly can be more.
Named Golden Hour, the capsule collection embodies everything Franca Vinka stands for: intentional design, timeless elegance, and a quiet magnetism. Founder Francesca Dulcich describes her vision as “a fusion of Mediterranean romanticism and refined restraint,” made for women who want to feel confident and entirely themselves — whether basking in coastal sunlight, arriving at a beach club, or gliding through a summer night.

The brand’s aesthetic is sculptural minimalism rendered through an emotional lens: sensual yet structured, strong yet serene. Every garment is handmade in Italy using high-quality, eco-conscious fabrics, staying true to Franca Vinka’s ethos of sustainability and craftsmanship.
The debut offering features swimsuits, dresses, and skirts designed to transition effortlessly beyond the beach. Key pieces include the Chiara One-Piece, a refined, mesh-accented design that channels the brand’s architectural sensibility; the Valentina Bikini, shimmering with understated glamour; and the Jelena One-Piece, whose deep tones and sculptural lines evoke a sense of warmth and depth.
What sets Franca Vinka apart is its commitment to creating garments with lasting relevance, beyond the confines of seasonal fashion. The next collection, Mare Notte, is already in the works — an evolution toward darker, more intimate moods that continue the brand’s dialogue with nature and light.
Born in Switzerland in 2024, Franca Vinka combines the sea’s mystery and the Mediterranean’s romance to create pieces designed to awaken quiet power in their wearer. The brand’s dedication to slow luxury and intentionality results in garments that feel as meaningful as they look.
