Just in time to curate an elevated wardrobe for the new year, a refined new name in womenswear makes its regional debut. Santolina, the luxury fashion house inspired by Italian craftsmanship and timeless design, will officially launch in the UAE on January 23, 2026. The brand introduces a world where elegance feels effortless and confidence comes naturally.
Founded by Nada Bader, Santolina was born from a personal journey of renewal at Villa Santolina in Italy, a 300-year-old farmhouse that became a sanctuary of reflection and creativity. With a professional background in construction and real estate, Nada brings a deep understanding of structure and design to fashion, combining precise tailoring with fluid femininity.
“Santolina is about creating pieces that move with you,” says Nada Bader, Founder and Creative Director. “Each design is intentional, feminine, and quietly powerful – a reflection of the woman it’s made for. Launching in the UAE feels deeply personal; it’s like bringing Santolina home to the region that shaped so much of its spirit.”.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection, which marks Santolina’s regional debut, is anchored by a signature capsule titled Flora. Crafted from luxurious silk and linen blends, Flora features hand-drawn floral prints inspired by the gardens of Villa Santolina, complemented by sculpted waistlines, soft tailoring, and refined silhouettes that flatter and flow.
The wider collection includes dresses, tailored pantsuits, and versatile matching sets, presented in a serene palette of white, beige, blush pink, baby blue, and muted sage – tones that reflect Santolina’s harmony between structure and softness.
Guided by five core values – craftsmanship, authenticity, longevity, emotion, and integrity, Santolina redefines accessible luxury for the modern woman. Each piece is designed to transcend seasons and trends, blending Italian refinement with a modern Middle Eastern sensibility to offer a wardrobe that feels timeless, intentional, and beautiful by design.
Santolina represents more than fashion, it is a reflection of serenity, strength, and beauty with purpose. Designed for women who embody confidence and calm, Santolina’s collections offer a sense of “Forever Beauty” – luxury made to last, with meaning stitched into every seam.
This launch marks the first chapter in Santolina’s regional journey. The brand will be available exclusively online at www.santolina.me.
