Fashion this summer is full of artisanal handmade appliqués in solid colours that make a statement about your unique sense of style. Vibrant colours such as sunflower yellow, electric blue, corals and hot pink characterise the landscape, lending vitality and hope to the clothes. Outfits are saturated in these striking hues from head to toe, ranging from fitted separates to flowing silhouettes.

Oversized kaftans, tunics and capes in pastel hues such as pistachio greens, dusty pink, powder blue and sand tones are another trending add on which can be used both as an outfit or an accessory to slay the summer heat in style.

Whether it’s hand-stitched patches gracing linen shirts or elaborate floral embroidery with accentuated highlights, handmade appliqués lend a sense of artistry and uniqueness to summer ensembles. These handcrafted elements give items personality and charm, turning them from ordinary to remarkable. This summer’s fashion trends reward artistry and originality in every stitch, whether you choose a sundress with hand appliqués or a top with vibrant colours and handmade decorations.
