May Must-Haves: The Summer 2025 Capsule Collection

Posted by Brackish Team on

Inspired by the breeze, the sun, and the bold beauty of the Bahamas.

Summer is calling - and so is your next getaway. Whether you’re escaping to the crystalline waters of the Caribbean, planning sun-drenched brunches with friends, or attending garden parties that turn into golden-hour dinners, your wardrobe deserves something as memorable as the moments ahead.

That’s exactly where our 2025 Summer Capsule Collection comes in.

This season, we took inspiration from the vibrant colors, laid-back elegance, and natural beauty of the Bahamas. Think sun-warmed sands, endless turquoise water, and lush, tropical flora. Our design team leaned into that spirit to create pieces that feel as effortless as summer itself - bold, artful, and just a little bit playful.

From new silhouettes and feathered details to elevated classics you already love, this capsule was designed to move with you - from sunny days to balmy nights, and every occasion in between.

Let’s dive into the collection.

The Heart of the Collection: A Tribute to Nature, Color, and Craft

Every piece in this capsule is a celebration of natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship. True to our heritage, we’ve continued to use sustainably sourced feathers - each hand-selected and laid with care - alongside luxe finishes like hammered gold, lambskin leather, and rich jewel tones inspired by tropical landscapes.

This isn’t just fashion - it’s wearable art. And like all great art, it tells a story: one of summer’s beauty, bold expression, and timeless elegance.

For Him: Fresh Takes on the Classic Bow Tie

Let’s start with the piece that inspired the whole capsule. If summer had a signature accessory, this would be it.

The Nassau Bow Tie

The Nassau Bow Tie is a standout addition to our men's collection - bold, refined, and undeniably unique. Crafted with a blend of natural pheasant and peacock feathers, it’s a nod to the island hues we fell in love with while designing this collection.

The feathers are laid in an intricate, hand-crafted pattern, allowing their natural iridescence to shine through - catching the light with every movement. Soft greens, deep blues, hints of gold and rust - it’s a color palette that feels luxurious yet grounded in nature.

What we love most? It walks the perfect line between formal and fun. Whether you’re dressing for a summer wedding or simply want to elevate your weekend look, the Nassau Bow Tie brings personality without losing sophistication.

It pairs beautifully with a crisp white shirt and linen blazer. It's the kind of piece that sparks conversation - and earns compliments every time.

For Her: Statement Pieces That Capture the Sunlight

Summer is the season of light, movement, and transformation. That energy is reflected in our women’s pieces, which are bold, versatile, and endlessly wearable - from vacation to rooftop cocktails, and everything in between.

The Eleuthera Hoop Earring

Versatility meets vacation-ready elegance.

This fresh silhouette offers a modern take on the classic huggie hoop. Named after one of our favorite Bahamian islands, the Eleuthera Hoop Earring is actually two earrings in one. You can wear the feathered hoop on its own for a minimalist look - or add the gold hammered hoop for extra flair.

It’s the kind of piece that transforms with your mood. Start the day with something subtle, then turn up the drama for evening. The color story is pulled straight from the island sky - sun-kissed gold paired with soft, shimmering tones from natural peacock feathers. Lightweight and easy to wear, they make an impact without overwhelming.

The August Cay Stud Earring

Sculptural, sunlit, and made for celebration.

If you're drawn to bold accessories with architectural flair, you'll love the August Cay Stud Earring. Inspired by the rays of the summer sun, this earring is part of our signature Large Stud Collection, and a true standout in the capsule.

The design fuses natural textures with polished finishes. Featuring lustrous peacock feathers and a sculptural gold frame, the earring feels both grounded and radiant - like sunlight dancing on the water.

It’s a power piece. Wear it with a slick bun and linen dress for a garden party, or pair it with a blazer and wide-leg trousers for an art gallery opening. No matter how you style it, it brings confidence and edge.

The Holmes Rock Thin Cuff

We like to think of the Holmes Rock Thin Cuff as a little bit of magic for your wrist.

This striking bracelet is a true study in contrast - sleek and modern in silhouette, but alive with rich, natural texture. The feathers are a mix of peacock and pheasant, bringing together deep red, golden yellow, and iridescent blue-green hues. Laid by hand into a thin cuff structure, the feathers appear almost like stained glass in motion.

It’s a piece that doesn’t try too hard, but still turns heads. The best part? It’s incredibly lightweight, making it ideal for everyday wear. Throw it on with jeans and a tee, or let it peek out from under a silk sleeve. It adds instant polish - without ever feeling overdone.

Like everything in this collection, it invites a second look. And maybe a third.

The Star of the Season: The Le Marais Clutch

Every summer wardrobe needs a go-to statement piece - that one accessory that ties everything together. For us, that’s the Le Marais Clutch.

Equal parts sophisticated and playful, the clutch is a perfect encapsulation of the collection’s spirit: natural materials, timeless craftsmanship, and contemporary styling. It’s inspired by the same featherwork as the Nassau Bow Tie, featuring hand-laid pheasant and peacock feathers that shimmer in the light and shift in color as you move.

But it’s the details that elevate this piece into a true keepsake: the luxurious lambskin leather base, the gold-toned chain strap that gives you the option to wear it over the shoulder or as a handheld clutch, and the thoughtful interior sizing that fits all your summer night essentials - lip gloss, cardholder, and just enough mystery.

Style it with a flowy maxi dress for evening elegance, or use it to dress up your favorite day-to-night look. Either way, it brings effortless glamour to any occasion.

Styling Notes: How to Wear the Summer Capsule

This collection was designed with versatility in mind. Every piece was created to move seamlessly between destinations and moments. Here are a few ideas for making it your own:

  • Beach Wedding: Dress up a white dinner jacket with the Nassau Bow Tie (for him) or the August Cay Stud Earring (for her). Both bring elegance with a touch of the unexpected.

  • Dinner on the Terrace: Let the Le Marais Clutch shine against an all-black ensemble, or make it the centerpiece of a jewel-toned look.

  • Weekend Markets: Keep it casual with jeans, a breezy top, and just one statement accessory. The Holmes Rock Cuff or Eleuthera Hoop Earring work beautifully solo.

Why It Matters: Slow Luxury with a Story

In a world of fast trends and fleeting moments, we remain committed to slow, intentional luxury. Every feather in this collection has been ethically sourced, every accessory hand-assembled by artisans who understand the beauty of their craft. These are pieces meant to last - season after season, story after story.

And perhaps that’s the most luxurious thing of all: knowing that what you wear has meaning.

This 2025 Summer Capsule Collection is more than just beautiful - it’s thoughtful, intentional, and infused with joy. Whether you’re collecting memories on faraway islands or soaking up sunsets closer to home, we hope these pieces bring a little extra magic to your summer.
