You have certainly already booked a long weekend – or is it your intention – to escape the heat of the city. Or maybe even a week, why not? We anticipate you, suggesting the most sought-after locations, not only for the beauty of the landscapes but also for the style and the high level of glamor of the travel souvenirs that you can take home with you. After Capri it’s Ibiza’s turn, the most fashionable island in the Mediterranean Sea, which became popular in the era Seventies for its hippie-chic vibe, which started the Ibizan style, free from any label and characterized by crochet details, lots of lace, accessories in straw and jute and the ubiquitous white, so dear to the islanders.
However, the city of Ibiza has not always been the cradle of nightlife. In the seventies it belonged exclusively to the locals, and the few tourists who arrived on the island, a little frightened, used to move with a local guide in the village of Dalt Villa, to “go and see the hippies”. Among the locals who lent themselves to souvenir photos with tourists there was also the famous bikini designer Janne Heegaard, who used to put flowers in her hair before posing in front of the lens. Today Ibiza is among the main entertainment destinations, especially in the Playa D’en Bossa area where it is possible to live the night among historical clubs, from Pacha to Ushuaïa.

RUBEN SOLER JOSEGipsy Truck
The brand was born in September 2015, when the founder Natalia was on vacation with a friend in Formentera. While shopping, however, finding nothing she liked, she had the idea of designing a van – to find it at Mar Y Sal, in Ses Salines – that would sell hand-made clothing, and with unique prints, in limited edition. A gypsy label that loves vintage, ancient fabrics and craftsmanship and that puts the free soul of the island on fabric. Here the limited edition Serpant Naranja Kimono, light to wear over the swimsuit or to combine with a pair of jeans, once back in the city.
