Italy is known for its fashion and, when it comes to manufacturing, for its quality and superior craftsmanship.

Dressing well is not just fun for Italians, it is deeply ingrained in their culture; making a good impression is important and beauty is everywhere - from the spectacular monuments to the elegantly tailored suits.

“La Bella Figura”

Which is not surprising considering the romanticism of their surroundings: we would likely be more inspired to dress up if the Trevi Fountain was the backdrop to our Sunday supermarket trip!

So what does Blue Bungalow have to do with Italian fashion?

Well, as you know, we take pride in our linen offering and are well-known as Australia’s number one linen destination - come summer, you fashionistas flock to our website to complete your wardrobe with carefree linen tunics and throw-on-and-go linen frocks.

Not only are linen clothes nice to wear, they become a necessity at the height of summer. No other natural fibre is as lightweight or breathable (or, let’s be honest, dries as quickly, when you suddenly go from sweating to air conditioning).

Which is why we stock a range of must-have premium Italian linen - particularly for those of us that are big believers in dressing up our linen and taking it from day to night by adding a heel and statement jewellery.

This is the dress that you’ll want to have in your wardrobe on those sweltering summer days! With its short sleeve design, it remains of the utmost sophistication thanks to generous pocket detailing and the quality of the fabric itself.

And this one was designed with comfort in mind; crafted in a breezy, relaxed ballon silhouette for an effortlessly stylish look.

Gone are the days of pre-planning your holiday outfits, pop the Fay Linen Jumpsuit over your swimsuit as you relax by the pool or accessorise with a beaded necklace and summer sandal for an afternoon strolling through the coastal boutiques with friends.

Designed with a flattering floaty silhouette and classic wide leg flare, ensure you step out in comfort AND style this season.

Did we mention it has pockets? Practically ticking all the boxes on our wishlist!

If you’re looking for a versatile style, this one’s for you. The Serenita linen dress drapes beautifully over the body and can be worn everyday or styled with heels and a stylish clutch for a more elevated look.

This luxurious linen garment features an oversized silhouette for a relaxed and timeless look. With a wide v-neckline, the top elegantly highlights the collarbones whilst offering great coverage with a classic half-length sleeve.

Pair with matching linen pants, jeans or an easy pant for endless outfit combinations.

Prone to jumping from beach to bar but still want to look chic and put together? There's literally no easier way than to slip on a pair of Fraser Linen Shorts - just add a fun flowy top and you're ready to order your next margarita (don't forget to invite us).

The frayed edges radiate a casual feel, combined with a modest longer length to create the ultimate linen short you can dress up or down!

Not to mention oh-so-comfortable, you'll want a pair in every colour!
