BACI AMICI SS26

BACI AMICI returns to House of Valerie for Spring/Summer 2026 with a collection that feels both grounded and distinctly new, shaped by texture, movement and an intuitive sense of how fabric responds to warmer light. 

Natural linen co-ords sit at the core, refined through subtle detailing and softened structure to create a wardrobe that feels effortless. A sense of balance runs through the palette, where warm tones and soft contrasts work together, and layered neutrals reveal depth through washes, finishes and fibres.

The collection feels fresh without being fleeting, designed for women who value pieces that move easily across seasons and styling. 

Each silhouette carries a refined edge, from softly structured shoulders to gathered hems and raw finishes. These are clothes that come to life through movement, light and wear, embodying BACI AMICI’s strength in creating interest through cut, dye and the way each piece is ultimately lived in.

BACI AMICI TOPS

The BACI AMICI balloon sleeve top in Wheat introduces a softer volume into the collection. 

The tone sits as a sun-washed sand, infused with a gentle warmth that resembles the summer light. There is a powdery quality to the finish, allowing the colour to feel both neutral and dimensional. 

Made from lightweight cotton, the fabric carries a subtle structure that holds the shape of the three-quarter balloon sleeves without feeling heavy.

The rounded neckline and button fastening keep the piece grounded, with the hemline introducing movement throughout the garment. The cloud-dyed finish gives the surface a slightly distressed appearance, softening the overall look. 

Styled with relaxed linen trousers, it creates a look that feels cohesive yet not overly styled. It also works layered beneath a jacket, allowing the volume of the sleeves to remain visible, adding depth without complication.

The sleeveless top in Wheat offers a more direct interpretation of summer dressing. Crafted from hessian-style linen, the garment has a pronounced, tactile texture that reflects the natural fibres of the collection, whilst its pale camel tone adds warmth without heaviness. 

A collared neckline brings structure, offset by concealed buttons for a clean finish, and subtle frayed detailing introduces a raw contrast to the minimal silhouette. Paired with matching culotte trousers, it feels cohesive and intentional, whilst darker tones highlight its texture, resulting in a piece that has a fresh take on summer neutrals.

BACI AMICI PULLOVERS

The Black pullover shifts the tone of the collection slightly, introducing depth whilst maintaining the same softness of construction. 

The shade is a softened black, diffused through the cotton-mix fabric so that it carries a charcoal undertone rather than a stark finish. This allows it to sit comfortably alongside the lighter pieces without feeling heavy.

The loose weave construction gives the pullover a breathable quality, ideal for layering across changing temperatures. The texture, reminiscent of rope, introduces a rugged note that contrasts with the fluidity of the silhouette. 

Dropped armholes and fluted sleeves enhance the relaxed shape, allowing the piece to drape naturally.

The Wheat shade of the same pullover offers a lighter interpretation. The colour leans towards a soft, sunlit oat, carrying warmth while maintaining a clean finish. The loose weave becomes more visible in this tone, allowing the texture to play a more prominent role.

Worn as part of a full neutral look, it creates a sense of continuity that feels effortless. Paired with darker trousers, it becomes a point of contrast, highlighting the intricacy of the knit. This is where the collection feels most new, not through bold design, but through the way each piece interacts with the rest.

BACI AMICI TROUSERS

The Wheat culotte trousers capture the ease of summer dressing with precision. The cropped silhouette allows movement through the leg, whilst the hessian-style linen introduces texture that feels authentic rather than decorative. The tone carries a soft warmth, sitting somewhere between pale camel and washed sand, giving the piece a grounded presence.

The elasticated waistband ensures comfort without compromising the line of the garment, with the pleats adding subtle structure. Styled with the matching sleeveless top, the look feels cohesive and relaxed. 

Pairing it with the balloon sleeve top introduces volume through contrast, creating a silhouette that feels more directional.

The more relaxed trouser in Wheat offer a different approach. Crafted from a cotton-linen blend, it carries a softer drape, with the washed dye effect adding depth to the colour. The tapered hem brings the silhouette in slightly, creating a more defined shape.

The elasticated waistband with belt loops allows for versatility in styling. Worn with a simple top, it feels effortless, whilst adding a belt and layering with a jacket sharpens the look. The subtle detailing, from seam construction to the false placket, gives the piece a refined edge that elevates it beyond a simple everyday pair of trousers.

The full length trouser in Natural introduce a more structured option within the collection. The shade is a soft ivory with a gentle warmth, reminiscent of brushed linen with a clean, luminous finish. The wide leg silhouette creates length, while the fixed waistband and adjustable belt add definition.

There is a slight note to size up, which allows the trousers to sit correctly on the body, maintaining the intended drape. Styled with the waistcoat, it forms a tailored look that still feels relaxed. Paired with softer tops, it becomes a foundation piece that anchors the outfit.

The culotte trouser in Natural continue this direction, offering a shorter silhouette in the same tonal family. It maintains the same lightness, allowing it to be styled across multiple looks without losing its relevance.

BACI AMICI JACKET

The BACI AMICI jacket in Natural introduces structure into the collection without disrupting its softness. The tone sits within a pale ivory spectrum, carrying warmth that prevents it from feeling overly sharp. The textured linen adds depth, allowing the light to interact with the surface.

The relaxed fit ensures ease, while the rounded neckline softens the overall shape. Fluted sleeves echo the detailing seen across the collection, creating continuity. Subtle shoulder padding introduces a reference to 1960s tailoring, giving the piece a refined edge that elevates it beyond a simple layer.

Styled over co-ords, it completes the look with cohesion, whereas the BACI AMICI jacket in Black becomes a focal point that draws an outfit together. This is a piece that feels inherently fresh, adapting to many wardrobe aesthetics.

BASI AMICI WAISTCOATS

The tailored waistcoat in Natural brings a sharper silhouette to the collection. The tone carries a soft, creamy warmth, sitting between ecru and pale vanilla, with a clean finish that feels elevated. The V-neckline elongates the body, while the peplum hem introduces subtle movement.

Worn with matching trousers, it creates a full look that feels both structured and relaxed. Styled over a lightweight top, it adds layering without weight. The balance between tailoring and softness defines the piece, giving it a refined edge that aligns with the overall collection.

The Black tailored waistcoat offers contrast. The softened black tone brings depth, while maintaining the same clean silhouette. Paired with similar trousers, it creates a cohesive look that feels intentional. The peplum hem softens the structure, ensuring the piece remains wearable across different styles.

The boxy black waistcoat introduces a different proportion. The collared neckline and asymmetric hemline give the piece a more directional feel, whilst the front pocket adds a functional detail. The shape allows it to be layered more easily, working over both fitted and relaxed pieces. It brings a slightly more defined edge into the collection, offering variation without disrupting the overall cohesion.
