Cartolina: Styles for all Occasions

With summer and travel coming up, you need clothes to elevate your style. Cartolina is a brand that is made for just that! Inspired through vintage fabrics, old photographs, and the feeling of nostalgia, these clothes are beautiful and timeless. Their clothes inspire traveling, adventures and making memories. It’s no wonder their motto is “the memory you wear”!

Cartolina

Translated to “postcard” in Italian, Cartolina clothes are meant to take you near and far. Founded in Nantucket by Margaret Anne Nolen, the Cartolina team aims to create clothes that make you feel special. They should serve as souvenirs to enhance your life experiences, no matter where life takes you. All of her pieces are hand-crafted with a whimsical elegance that can be worn on a vacation overseas to a small dinner with friends. The clothes are created using sustainability methods and are all ethically hand-sewn and produced in small batches. I also love that the brand is women owned and operated. They are dedicated to investing in today’s women and the next generation.

One of my favorite Cartolina dresses is this tweed lavender dress (size S). The colors are so beautiful. It is an elevated twist on a classic wardrobe staple. I wear it to luncheons, work meetings, and more. You can pair it with ballet flats or heeled sandals for a stylish work look.

Another dress I love is this white embroidered maxi dress (size S). It is the maxi dress you need this summer! I love the feminine details such as the custom floral embroidery and the scalloped hem. It is also lined with a lightweight cotton material and has adjustable straps. This dress is perfect for a walk along the beach or dinner al fresco. It is also a great dress for a bridal shower for the bride-to-be. Pair the look with sandals for a casual day or wedges for something a little dressier. You can also add a denim jacket or cardigan on a chilly evening.

Cartolina also has chic blouses. One of my favorites is this bow neck blouse (size S). I love the chic design, including the smocked sleeves. It’s made out of a breathable polyester-cotton blend, making it not only chic, but comfortable. It also comes in six great color choices. I paired it under a cropped jacket with these jeans and espadrilles for an elevated summer look.
