Silvia Tcherassi may have headed to Naples for pre-spring, but Capri remains her Italian home away from home, at least retail-wise.
After opening her second European boutique there in 2023, the Colombian-born designer is stocking its turquoise interior with an exclusive summertime capsule, available to full-time islanders and island hoppers alike starting Thursday.
Including just five pieces, the curated edit stretches across a full day’s itinerary. For morning boat tours through the Blue Grotto, there are two lace tunics (priced at $1,490) — one printed with Palm trees, the other, Capritian bougainvillea — while a ruffled voile A-line ($1,590) with Twombly-esque scratches and scribbles would be apt for an afternoon stroll through Piazzetta Square, only a stone’s throw from Tcherassi’s store.

To cap it off, dinner al fresco under the lemon trees at Da Paolino calls for a new version of her plunging Jazmin gown ($1,590), which is being offered in raspberry silk to match a limited-edition miniature Sofia bag ($750).
“Escapism was definitely on my mind while dreaming up this collection,” said Tcherassi, who added that staking a claim on Capri was a good move for her brand. Driven mostly by resortwear, sales are already up 58 percent compared with the same period last year. And after decades’ worth of visits to the island, she remains enamored. “It’s impossible to grow jaded.…In fact, each time I return, it feels even more breathtaking.”
Still, those holidaying elsewhere this season can request a souvenir virtually. “Our sales specialists are happy to assist with remote purchases via our website and can arrange shipping to nearly anywhere in the world,” noted Tcherassi.
Palm Beachers should hold out though. The designer confirmed they’re next to get an exclusive capsule at her temporary pop-up inside the Brazilian Court Hotel. “I’m especially excited about it,” she said. “It feels like a natural follow-up to this one.”
