Crafting Coastal Chic: A story of Anna Kosturova Surf Lounge Vancouver Pop-up in Gastown
Our Surf Lounge Vancouver pop-up brought coastal chic fashion to the heart of Gastown. Our pop-up was more than just a shop—it was a love letter to the vibrant coastal lifestyle that inspires everything we create. We transformed an unconventional retail space into a sun-kissed haven, brimming with the laid-back charm of the seaside.

In 2021, I hosted the Surf Lounge Vancouver Pop-Up and one of the most unforgettable moments was when Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, walked through our doors. Later that summer she was spotted wearing one of our handmade crochet tops that she purchased that day. What an honor!

As Seen In Vogue Paris
We are so excited to be featured in Vogue Paris' recent summer edit, "Swimsuit trend: 10 crochet bikinis for the summer" !
This swimwear trend editorial features amazing crochet designs that will give your summer style a beachy bohemian upgrade.
Vogue Paris highlighted our crochet Carly Off-Shoulder Top and Michelle High Waisted Bikini Bottoms in pastel rainbow stripes with black combination (great choice, if we do say so ourselves!).
The best thing about the Carly top is that you can wear it in multiple ways - off the shoulders, strapless, or one shoulder up and one one down. It's versatility will make packing for your first post-pandemic vacation super easy. And we love the Michelle High Waisted bikini bottoms for their flattering and leg lengthening fit. The waist drawstring finished with a multicolor tassels adds the bohemian flair and accentuates the waist. Yes please.
You can easily take this look from beach to bar by pairing the Carly Top with the matching Carly Skirt. An elasticized waist means comfort and ease without sacrificing elevated style. The multitasking Carly Top will be your go-to crop top all summer long.
We love the way the multicolour stripes brightly pop against the black. These colours work perfectly for a city rooftop pool or a tropical beach getaway. Bonus, these sunset pastels go perfectly with denim cutoffs and they also come in combination with cream color.

Halsey Does Rainbow Right
We *love* a rainbow moment, and Halsey's pregnancy shoot was no exception.
The gorgeous singer announced her pregnancy on Instagram recently. She showed off her growing baby bump and a rainbow crochet bikini top in her super-chic, mermaid-vibe shoot.
What's more joyful than sunshine and rainbows? Whether you're living in beach weather, or just dreaming about it, we have some rainbow looks to keep you inspired...
All you need is your rainbow bikini top, matching bottoms and a wide-brimmed hat for a tropical look.
Add a linen cover-up or our crochet Rainbow Swirl top with some vintage denim and take your rainbow from the beach to the bar. We love throwing the Marrakesh Maxi Shirt over top to complete the look.
We love how the black trim really makes the colours pop. From Bali to Barbados, you can take this bikini with you to any beach in the world. All the colours and all the fun -- this is the vibe we'd want to keep with us all year round!
NEW: Our Home Decor is Here!
We are branching out! Our brand new home decor line is here!
We believe that a big part of feeling good everyday isn't just about the clothes you put on, it's also about the space you live in. And since we're all spending a lot more time at home these days, making it a comfortable, cozy and chic living environment is more important than ever. Adding a charming handmade piece with a texture and colour to your couches, beds and walls will instantly upgrade your space - without having to totally redecorate.
We are excited about our first HOME DECOR collection items: crochet throws and matching cushion covers embellished with tassel detail. Everything is of course handmade with a great attention to detail, crafted by our team of artisans.
We made them in our signature crochet Gingham pattern in two classic color ways, red and navy. These pieces make for timeless, simple and elevated home decor. The cushion covers are crochet on the both sides. There is a button closure at the back with beautiful crochet encased buttons.
We will slowly be adding new colors and patterns, as well as items such as wall hangings, tablecloths and unique pieces you can’t find anywhere else.
And since we believe you can never have too much of a good thing... we also added our new red gingham color way to our bikini offering.
We fell so hard for this new gingham pattern that we just had to do one of our fave bikini styles in this classic crochet patter: halter style bikini top and matching high-waisted bottoms.
Gingham is such a forever look -- with a touch of boyish charm and rustic-chic vibes, it pairs perfectly with denim and over-sized shirting (think our new Marrakesh Maxi shirt). It has just just the right amount of tom-boy cool.
This gingham bikini feels like the optimistic transition swim style from winter in lockdown to life back at the beach.
Shop our brand new Home Decor line now - for yourself and for your loved ones.
Our Brand New Print - Exclusively at Mytheresa
We couldn't be more excited to introduce our brand new print, available now exclusively at Mytheresa!
Our classic, signature free spirited silhouettes in 100% silk get a bright and bold upgrade with our glamorous new leopard print in orange, fuchsia or electric blue.
The silk maxi wrap dress features ankle-length skirt, tie belt that will cinch in your waist and a flattering plunging neckline. The best part? Adjust the wrap and tie for your absolute perfect fit. This style will be your go-to piece for glamorous getaway dressing. Wear it poolside untied over your bikini as a coverup.
Also available in midi length, this pink leopard wrap dress works just as well over a bikini at the beach as it does with flat sandals for daytime exploring and platform espadrilles for cocktails at sundown.
Arguably our most versatile dress, this style can be worn off-the-shoulder for a sexy evening look, or loosely tied around the collar bones for a chill daytime ensemble. The high skirt slit allows for incredible movement when you walk, while the fitted waist is flattering for all body types. We love the orange leopard print with raffia accessories and your fave straw hat.
This glam wrap style is done with skinny straps and a fluted trim skirt. Midi length, it's the perfect style to show off a chic pair of strappy, flat sandals. Wear your favourite necklaces with this plunging neckline and stand out in the vibrant fuchsia pink.
Another stunning silhouette, the elegant halter-neck and asymmetric hemline takes this slip dress from ordinary, to "must-have." And the back of this dress might just be the best part - the slim straps highlight the gorgeous low back of the dress, making your exit just as exciting as your arrival.
Elegant and casual, these mini dresses feature a tie around the neck and loose fit through the body. The perfect beach coverup or a dress. We love this style just as much with little white sneakers as we do with gladiator sandals or a pair of killer high heels. An easy, breezy style that you'll reach for time and time again.
Pair it with denim shorts, boyfriend jeans, a silk slip skirt or even just bikini bottoms, the silk leopard print blouse embodies easy getaway glamour. It will be the stylish spark you need to instantly upgrade all of your vacation basics. Breathable, comfortable and chic, don't leave this piece at home when you're headed for sunshine.

Cozy Up In Crochet
Fall is well underway and it's time to settle in, cozy up and upgrade your cold weather style.
If you're feeling like you just can't stand another day in sweatpants, you're not alone. We have some styling ideas to help you feel a little more put together, a little more stylish, and still just as comfy.
Cabin life, but make it chic.
Our handmade crochet tops aren't just for the beach. Layering them under your favourite cashmere cardigan, oversized v-neck sweater or buttondown, adds an elevated feel to your loungewear. We love neutral tones with denim, and the cotton cream colour of the Marrakesh Crop Top pairs perfectly with brown, beige, grey, white, black, olive and even navy (cream and navy is an unexpected match made in heaven, just FYI). So pull out your favourite "sweata weatha" pieces and throw them on over one of our handmade crochet tops.
For an edgier winter look layer one of our crochet crop tops over a long sleeve turtleneck and throw on a pair of boots. And if you're heading out? Try the impossibly cool combo of leather and crochet. It's the perfect romance-meets-rocker-chick look that will keep your wardrobe fresh and exciting.
Oversized and feminine.
The Marrakesh Maxi Shirt worn over crochet Filigree Halter Top Mesh Top, Marrakesh Top, Filigree Halter Top, Lacy Crop Top
The Marrakesh Maxi Shirt has handmade crochet inserts detail and can be worn tied at the front or just loose. It provides endless styling possibilities. We love layering - wear one of our lacy crochet crop tops underneath or wear a cropped, fitted crewneck sweater over top of it, or cozy up with your fave maxi cardigan for ultimate comfort. Throwing it on over jeans will be your easiest (and cutest) go-to look.
Lacy Romance
The Holidays may look a little different for us this year without big parties and family gatherings, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy staying home and looking nice. The Holidays have a magical feel to them, no matter what, and dressing up is a wonderful part if it all. We love the romance of our Victorian-inspired tops and the stylish spark they add every outfit - for a small intimate dinner with close friends, or just hanging at home, they're sure to add some joy to your look.
As Seen In Elle Magazine
In the May issue of Elle Magazine you can find our Malibu monokini featured in the "Elle Shops" section! In a beautiful summer swim & resortwear trend page titled "Bohemian Rhapsody" our colourful monokini is among some killer crochet styles and raffia accessories that evoke a free spirited vibe for summertime style.
Summer dressing invites playful colour and easy, chic styles that can take the heat. The monokini is a perfect swimwear piece that transitions into a standout body suit that can be worn so many different ways. Try it with boyfriend denim, cut-offs, or even under one of our crochet skirts or kimonos.
@gabrieladian_
The colours in the Malibu collection remind us of sandy beaches and sunny turquoise skies, hence the name. If you are as in love with them as we are, check out these other Malibu styles:
Malibu Bikini and Malibu Kimono. Longer in length, the Malibu Kimono can be thrown on over a bathing suit or worn wrapped up with a belt over jeans. It's a great multitasking piece.
The Malibu Hoodie. Perfect to throw on over your bikini and denim shorts when the wind picks up.
Let's not forget to complete the look. Pick up the pops of colour in the Malibu Monokini with one of these perfect pairings: Seashore Angel Top, Seashore Angel Racerback and Fringe Poncho Dress.
Style note: try belting the fringe ponchos dress to accentuate your waist.

As Seen in Marie Claire
Our crochet Antoinette shorts are modelled by the "goofy, warm, enthusiastic, unselfconscious" and incredibly gorgeous Lily Aldridge in the May issue of Marie Claire magazine! Equally as exciting is the fact that Aldridge was photographed by THE Helena Christensen! What a duo. We were over the moon to be included in this dreamy editorial.
Lily models the Antoinette shorts with a sweater by Salvatore Ferragamo and scarf by Marc Jacobs. Shot by Helena Christensen.
We totally fell in love with the romantic, whimsical mood Helena created in her photography. Our handmade crochet shorts fit beautifully with the vintage, collage-like look of the photos. Channeling nostalgia and romance, it makes us yearn for something magical, enduring and heirloom-like.... just like this handmade lacy piece.
Helena posted this beautiful shot she took of Lily Aldridge on her Instagram.

The Marie Claire article touches on Lily's next chapter - which includes a sustainable perfume line, Lily Aldridge Parfums, and a growing YouTube following. She talks a lot about keeping it real (which we love) and how she has steadily grown into herself and her confidence. There's nothing we love more than a woman being honest about her imperfections and embracing them. That's what Lily is all about. She even spends time discussing her career and offering advice to other women on her YouTube channel.
Read the article written by Jennifer Goldstein here.
Upgrade your summer look with crochet shorts that add some romance and a vintage touch. We love the lacy shorts and sweater look, but you can also wear it with our matching Antoinette top. This piece is as great on it's own as it is layered under button-up shirts, denim jackets, or silk blouses.
Another lacy crochet favourite of ours is the Deauville short. We love the high-waisted, vintage vibe these give off. Pair it with the Deauville crop top for a perfect match. Pair pretty, white, vintage-inspired lacy little things with natural coloured accessories, like a must have boater, moroccan market basket and lace-up sandals. The soft white and natural tones make for such a chic combo.
The Deauville shorts and Deauville crop top.
Of course all of our shorts (well, everything on our site really) come with removable lining. Wearing them with liner in means endless possibilities for warm weather styling. Of course, without the liner, they make for one of the coolest bikini cover-ups. Pull them on over your bikini bottoms or monokini for a clean, matching set look and layer it tone on tone.
Destination Dreaming: Tulum
Day dreaming: the opportunity to get lost in a beautiful escape, anywhere you choose, to adventure freely, to travel, to explore... no matter where you are.
We've been indulging in a little destination day dreaming recently, imagining where we would love to travel and which of our favourite pieces we'd bring with us.
And you never know what the future may hold - as Gloria Steinem said, "dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."
So today, we're jetting off to Tulum, Mexico. We're packing bright colours, bikinis, easy coverups and throw-on dresses. With one well-packed carry-on suitcase we'll be perfectly equipped to enjoy the beach, the jungle, exploring the ruins, great restaurants, bars, and of course, some midnight dancing.
Let's start with our hero piece, the Tie-Dye Wrap Silk Maxi dress in neon fire.
We should really call it our *super* hero piece. You can crumple it up, throw it in your suitcase (or beach bag) and pull it out in perfect, wearable condition whenever you need to seriously step up your look. You won't be overdressed at the beach, at a casual lunch, or strolling through town in this silk maxi -- and by the time you get to dinner and drinks, you'll be in the perfect piece to take you into the night.
Same beautiful colours, slightly different style dress, you can also opt for the Tie Dye T-Strap Maxi Dress in a relaxed fit with a dynamic flounce at the bottom. The back is open and is beautifully accentuated by two spaghetti straps. This dresses' free-spirited silhouette blends utility, comfort and luxury for simple elegance.
Can't you just picture yourself in a long, flowing silk dress, walking down this beach at sunset?
Another standout travel piece is the Marsala Stripe Hooded Vest. It really completes a beach or pool look and also looks great thrown over cut off denim shorts or jeans. We love our maxi vest with the Seashore Angel bikini - embellished with genuine cowrie shells. It's the perfect crochet style to pack for your beach vacay.
Not just the breathtaking beaches, but also the extraordinary jungles and, of course, the Tulum ruins should be at the top of your list of places to go and things to do.
Choose easy, chic pieces to throw on on for these adventures. One of our favourite crop tops is the Bella Ballerina Top. Even cuter layered over a white tank or t-shirt. And again it's a great piece to wear over our Seashore Angel bikini crochet bikini.
New Arrivals to Inspire...
Life may be looking a little different right now, but there's no harm in participating in a little day dreaming... we even encourage it.
So, let us indulge you in some beautiful images of our newest arrivals, the Michelle Maxi Kimono (in cream and black!) and our Carly Monokini.
There will come a time when we can enjoy the beach, the ocean, the sunshine and each others company again. There is so much to look forward to.
And with that in mind...
The Michelle Maxi Kimono layers perfectly over any outfit. Throw it on over shorts, wrap it around yourself for a chic evening look, or use as a pool-side bikini coverup.
The cotton gauze maxi kimono is adorned with a beautiful, handmade crochet decorative trim and tassel detail in pastel rainbow colours. It can be worn undone or fastened with the braided belt.
The pastel coloured crochet and fringe detail really pops on the cream or black. We love this for any summer look. Also try over light wash distressed denim.
Another showstopper item to add to your holiday valise is our crochet Carly Monokini in matching pastel rainbow colours. It's not just for the beach, wear as a bodysuit and layer under shorts, jeans and skirts.
Both the Carly Monokini and the Michelle Maxi Kimono will be two of your hardest working travel pieces. They can be taken from beach to dinner, from daytime casual to a night at the club.

Exciting mention of Anna Kosturova in Harper's Bazaar latest article called "25 Affordable Summer Dresses to Add to Your Shopping Cart Now."!
Harper's calls them the "statement-making frocks for the dog days of summer" and ain't that the truth! Find your perfect warm weather dresses that keep you feeling chic and stylish whether you're rocking it at the beach, the pool or the bar this summer.
"The greatest part about winter (at least for us) is that the cold weather mandates that we layer. We can assemble outfits that have greater dimension—i.e., a pop of color with a bright scarf or mixing patterns with a jacket and jumper. But with the dog days of summer fast approaching, the intense temperature bids us to shed our (literal and figurative) coats down to the bare essentials.
Indeed, we, more often than not, have to make due with just one piece, which is why we take every opportunity to make it count. The best way to do this is? Well, with an elegant dress, of course. And lucky for us, the market is filled with exceptional pieces that—and here's the real clincher—won’t break the bank. From princely satin gowns and fierce animal-printed dresses to sultry body-cons and sporty slips, check out our selection of statement-making frocks, all at affordable price points."
Find this Cee Zee cotton mini dress exclusively in yellow on MyTheresa.com.
We love the zesty pop of the marigold crochet lace inserts and trim that brings some colour to this classic white mini. Plus, how flattering (and sexy) is an off-the-shoulder look? BTW, you can wear this dress on-shoulder too, which gives a neo-victorian vibe. This dress will work hard for you all summer long.
Shop this summer-time mini on our site! We have done this dress in cream and black cotton option with mesh inserts and trim in pastel rainbow.
Wear it on or off-shoulder!

We are so thrilled to be included in the Harper's Bazaar article,
The Harper's team drummed up a dreamy and sophisticated shoot on the beaches of Grand Cayman. They pulled the best of the best straight from the spring runway. And as they said...
"We're unlikely to ever surrender to the phrase, New year, new you. We're far more interested in meaningful growth over total reinvention. In that spirit, hold on to those pieces you've put such care into adding to your wardrobe and build from that foundation. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, shall we? Perhaps, this season is when you invest in warm-weather leather by way of a great suit. Maybe summer will be that much cooler with open-weave crochet separates. Neons are back and are much more approachable. And for those with a glimmer in their eye, get your hands on anything shiny, from crystal shoes to tennis necklaces. And then pack them all up in one of your new mega bags. How tidy. Below, see the trends and shop the looks, mined directly from the Spring 2020 runways and shot on stunning model and artist Sharon Alexie, on location at the stylish Palm Heights Hotel in Grand Cayman."
The 12 trends are:
The White Dress
In Neon Lights
Mega Bags
Bootcut Jeans
Leather
Sweater Vests
Suiting

You can find us under CROCHET ALL DAY.
Our best selling handmade Crochet Chloe Mini Dress is listed as one of your best spring finds for the crochet trend!
Shop this piece at MyTheresa.com or on our website.
The crochet trend is such a classic look, and it also takes us back to the days of OG fashion, when production was slower and pieces were often carefully handmade. As Harper's puts it:
"With an emphasis on sustainability has come a bit of a renaissance in old-world techniques. There's something so appealing about handwoven pieces, like artfully crocheted tops, dresses, and skirts, and there's nothing more luxurious than beautiful craftsmanship."
We couldn't agree more.
You can find so many more of our pieces that fit the bill for the Top Trends 2020.
For the WHITE DRESS trend... where do we even begin. We have some extraordinary pieces to choose from. From elegant cotton maxi dresses to chic crochet minis. Here are some of our favorites:

Arielle Charnas x Anna Kosturova
Fashion and lifestyle blogger Arielle Charnas of Something Navy was recently rocking our Gypsy Princess Skirt in gold on her Miami beach vacation
As a busy working Mom of two, Arielle enjoyed some much deserved, early morning beach fun with her family in Miami over the Holidays. Never one to sacrifice style, she kept it cool at the beach in our Gypsy Princess skirt in gold!
Arielle wore the skirt as a beach cover-up over her super cute floral bathing suit. The gold is a perfect neutral cover-up and can be worn over almost any colour. It has the most beautiful, subtle gold filament in the crochet weave which give any look a little shine.
The Gypsy Princess skirt worn as a cover-up is just about the easiest thing to style you'll ever own - just throw on and go.
You can also opt for the Gypsy Skirt in black, vintage rose or white if you prefer the style without the flash.
It's such an easy, chic piece that can be thrown on over a bikini at the beach or pool and then worn as a skirt (with the detachable slip under) out to dinner or drinks... or dancing! This skirt is the ideal piece to pack for warm weather beach vacation.
We love to pair it with the Gypsy Crop Top or even just a simple t-shit or tank.

We were thrilled to recently see our best-selling Marsala Crochet Maxi Dress featured in Vogue Online's picks for Chicest Beach Staples for a Winter Getaway!
Read their article below on how to plan an epic winter getaway and what to wear.
The fast-approaching holidays may be occupying all of your attention (and finances) at the moment, but looking past that, the time to plan a winter getaway is now. This is the best time of the year to travel to tropical destinations, as flights from January to March are usually cheaper, and the weather outside is dreadful, which means a beach vacation is calling! Whether you’ve got a jaunt to the Cayman Islands in mind, where all of the fashion insiders are flocking, or a trip to the Maldives, Google’s top-trending vacation spot of 2019, you’ll need the following items for a successful getaway wardrobe.
Luckily, it’s also sale season—the perfect opportunity to score half-off deals on the chicest vacation staples. Soaking in the sun on the beach—with a proper SPF, of course!—will require a stylish beach tote to fit your book, water bottle, and more. There’s a number of affordable straw bags and water-durable totes on the market. A variety of swimwear styles are on major discount right now too. Come evening, your vacation dinners and cocktail hours will also require a dressy summer shoe and elegant sundress—and, you guessed it, those are all marked down as well.
If MyTheresa .com is sold out of this dress, you can still find it on our website as we stock this style all year round.
This dress of course comes with a removable lining, so you can wear it from the beach straight to dinner! See our crochet Marsala Stripe dress as worn and styled by Dani Kremeniuk and photographed by Zebulon Austin in Tulum.
