A Family Affair: the story of the new Lua Melancia collection
Some pieces are meant to be worn, and some are meant to be shared. A Family Affair was born from the latter idea: a collection designed for mothers and children who like dressing in matching outfits without anyone losing their individuality.
Dressing the family without uniforming them
Matching doesn't mean being identical. Instead of copying the same style in various sizes, the collection creates pairs that complement each other: the same fabric in a different cut, the same print on a child's piece and a woman's piece, the same colour in silhouettes designed for each age. The result is beautiful family photos, but also clothes that everyone enjoys wearing every day.
Terry cloth, the fabric of the season
Terry cloth is the main material in much of the collection. It has texture, is comfortable, and gains character with wear. It appears in two main shades: a warm and festive deep red, and a soft ecru that goes with everything. On some pieces, the terry cloth has a bubble texture, which adds volume and movement.
Flowers and stars
The prints tell the other half of the story. Bordeaux and blue flowers adorn the Diana Floral Shirt Jacket, the Marnie Dress, and the Julia trousers. Red and navy blue stars appear on the John trousers and the John Bomber Jacket, a padded jacket with a red terry cloth collar.
The matchy pairs
- Julia Floral Trousers: girls' version and women's version.
- John Star Trousers: children's version and women's version.
- Marinete Bubble Trousers: girls' version and women's version.
- Bowie Trousers: children's version and women's version, to match the Bowie Hooded Shirt.
- For the little ones: the Milia and Teddy bodysuits, so the baby can join in the photo too.
For mothers, the collection also includes pieces that stand perfectly on their own: the Thea Corset Top, the Alexa and Roxy skirts, the Frankie trousers, and the Simone set in cotton twill.
Made in Portugal, in limited quantities
Like all Lua Melancia collections, A Family Affair is designed and produced in Portugal in small quantities. When a size sells out, it may not be restocked. If you have a favourite pair, don't wait.
