Orlebar Brown presents Cruise 2026: Sunshine on Lake Como, a new collection
inspired by the romance, intrigue and effortless elegance of one of Italy’s most iconic
destinations.

At the heart of the collection is a celebration of Italian craftsmanship, with fine silk,
linen and knitwear created in the region. Rich new prints bring colour and character to
the season, including Sora, an expressive floral design appearing across shirts and swim
shorts and reinterpreted as intricate embroidery on new styles.

The Sartoro print continues Orlebar Brown’s distinctive approach to reimagining classic
menswear motifs for modern resortwear, taking inspiration from the repeating patterns
traditionally found on gentlemen’s ties and cravats. Elsewhere, the elegant Forma print
appears on a pure silk shirt, while another standout style combines silk and linen, joined
with a delicate napkin stitch for an elevated expression of summer dressing.

New stripes also feature throughout Cruise 2026 across trousers, shirts, polo shirts and
swim shorts. The season’s Sunny Stripe has been designed to sit effortlessly alongside
both solid colours and the collection’s new prints, creating a versatile thread through the
wider wardrobe.

Knitwear brings further depth and texture to the collection, with the Batten and Kirk
styles introduced in vivid red and rich blue, adding confident colour to the season’s more
sun-faded palette.

Cruise 2026 captures the mood of Lake Como through soft, sun-washed tones,
unexpected pops of colour, expressive prints and luxurious textures. Refined yet playful,
the collection balances sophistication with a sense of escape — an approach that has
long defined Orlebar Brown’s vision of holiday style.

As a destination, Lake Como reflects many of the ideas at the heart of Orlebar Brown:
water and escape, heritage and modernity, craftsmanship and adventure. Sunshine on
Lake Como brings those contrasts together in a collection designed for days by the water,
long lunches, elegant evenings and everything in between.

The Orlebar Brown Cruise 2026 collection launches on October 27, 2026.
