"Sea Charm" is a collection that portrays the sea and its traditions.
A sea of glory and tribulation!
Fernando Pessoa's masterpiece, “Mar Português”, serves as the thematic backdrop for NOPIN's SS24 collection, which pays homage to the indomitable spirit, sacrifices, suffering, and unwavering determination of the Portuguese people.
Catarina, the authorial designer of NOPIN, sought to bring the interpretation of the poem “Mar Português" to her creations, as well as all the tradition that Portugal has around the sea.
The "Sea Charm" collection draws its inspiration from a variety of sources: the fisherman's nets, faithfully recreated in organic cotton and meticulously woven on traditional looms; the glistening play of sunlight on the ocean's surface, artfully captured through the application of transparent foil on organic denim and organic mesh
