Summum stories

Portugal's undiscovered heart deserves a spotlight. Those who love slow living, farm-to-table food and traditional craftsmanship have come to the right place in Alentejo. This rustic region invites you to take a step back. Take it slow!

At the heart of Summum, you will find Blue Daze, the denim line that provides the perfect contrast to the collection every season.

The warm glow of late summer comes to life in a collection full of rich fabrics such as satin look, lurex and faux leather. Classy essentials are given a new twist, with shine, texture and volume. Earthy tones such as ivory and ash are stylishly complemented by midnight blue, honey yellow and soft funghi – for an autumn full of style, confidence and timeless class.

Summum has lovingly created an extra capsule collection for Orange Babies, specially designed for the Stand Up for Girls project. For every item sold from this collection, Summum will donate a sum to this project, which supports vulnerable girls in southern Africa with education for a better future.

Our in-house chef Jessica surprises us again with a delicious recipe that seems to come straight from the Italian sun. With her love for pure flavours and simple ingredients, she transforms this bruschetta into a summer snack that will make you happy.

Maud moody introduced amsterdam to her dolce vita in the 1980s: simple but delicious italian food served in her iconic caffè toscanini.

Friend of the brand Quinty explains why she enjoys summer so much. She also shows how she prepares for summer occasions and how she styles her favourite summer looks. Her eye for style and energy are the perfect inspiration for the special moments of the season.

Summum is proud to announce the opening of a new shop in the centre of Zwolle. The shop, located at Diezerstraat 14, will open its doors in November 2024, marking an important step in Summum's expansion into the north of the Netherlands.

Illustrator Kay van Bellen, who captures the world of fashion in captivating illustrations with her magazine and media brand The Visual Anthropologist, is a lover of fashion. Or rather, of style. Personal style that she flawlessly captures in a few striking brushstrokes and colour fields. Summum became acquainted with her work and was surprised by her authentic and feminine visual language. We see similarities with the core values of our brand, which strives for the same creativity, originality and femininity. For Spring 2025, we entered into an exclusive collaboration with Kay van Bellen. For Summum, she brings various items from the Blue Daze denim collection to life on paper. On the following pages, you will get to know the illustrator, her style and her sources of inspiration.
