Still Gathering: A Luxury Swimwear Collection Shaped by Memory, Not Trends

Some bikini collections are designed for a season.
Others are created to be carried.

Still Gathering is Mahéquline’s newest luxury swimwear collection, a slow fashion swimwear story built from moments that asked to be remembered. It is a collection of bikinis designed by women, rooted in emotion, heritage, and the quiet beauty of everyday impressions. Here, swimwear is not just about how it looks, but about how it feels, on the body, and inside it.

This is women’s swimwear for summer days that unfold slowly. For long swims, late lunches, and memories that linger well beyond the beach.

An Archive of Things Held Close 

Still Gathering began without a fixed plan.
It formed gradually, from colors noticed while walking without direction, from feelings tied to places you may never return to, and from stories inherited rather than chosen.

Over the past year, these impressions gathered quietly, becoming patterns, palettes, and textures. A Catalan building under the Barcelona sun. A grandmother’s bikini worn with confidence long before trends existed. A Chinese garden at dusk, wrapped in fog and softened light. Stripes, flowers, and symbols that didn’t come from one place, but from many.

Each set in the collection is designed as a small universe, bikini, sarong, and hair scarf, allowing the memory to be worn, layered, and lived in. Nothing here is accidental. Everything has been kept.

It’s called Still Gathering because the process never ends.
Because nostalgia is not static.
Because some collections are not finished, they’re carried forward.

Luxury Swimwear Designed to Be Lived In 

At the heart of Still Gathering is a belief that luxury swimwear should feel intimate, comfortable, and expressive, never restrictive or performative.

Every bikini is created with real bodies and real movement in mind:

• Comfortable bikinis for women that feel natural on the skin
• Supportive bikini tops that offer structure without stiffness
• Flattering bikinis for women designed to move with you, not against you

This is designer swimwear that values softness, longevity, and ease. Pieces made to return to, season after season, without losing their meaning.

Montjuïc: An Impression Kept 

Montjuïc was gathered without intention.

It began with a building in Barcelona, ornate but restrained, its façade softened by time. Warm sand-coloured walls held quiet layers of olive green, muted gold, and deep brown-red details. These were not colors that demanded attention, but ones that stayed with you. The kind you notice again later, once they have already settled into memory.

There was something grounding about it. Balanced. Decorative without excess. A sense of permanence that felt calm rather than imposing.

The Montjuïc pattern translates architecture into intimacy. The symmetry of the building becomes a repeated motif, while the aged tones are reworked into fabric that feels lived-in from the first wear. Nothing sharp. Nothing loud. Everything sits in harmony.

This bikini is not about a single moment, but about how places leave traces, even when nothing “happens.” The matching sarong and hair scarf complete the feeling, like enclosing a memory in an envelope kept safe, folded carefully, returned to when needed.

It’s not a souvenir.
It’s a fragment you decided to keep.

Len: A Moment Suspended in time 

Len belongs to a moment that felt suspended.

It was found inside a Chinese garden at dusk, where the paths curled between trees and the air was thick with warmth and quiet movement. Small animals disappeared into deep green shadows. Leaves shifted softly. The world seemed to breathe slowly around you.

Above all, the sky faded into an orange-pink haze, not bright, but muted and humid, as if the colours themselves were wrapped in fog.

That evening didn’t ask for attention.
It rested.

Len translates that feeling into a bikini set, a shaded blend of orange and pink, toned down rather than vivid, carrying the warmth of sunset without its intensity. This is cute swimwear that doesn’t rely on boldness, but on atmosphere.

Len is not about the garden itself.
It is about the sky above it, and the way it made everything feel.

Modulo: Inherited Confidence 

Modulo began with a photograph.

A small, faded print from another time, edges softened, colours worn gently by years of being held, kept, and shown. In the image, your grandmother stands in a soft-blue polka dot bikini, confident in a way that felt natural rather than styled. There is something unmistakably French about the moment: understated, effortless, and quietly elegant.

Modulo does not recreate that bikini.
It continues it.

Two patterns meet and converse, white with blue dots, blue with white dots. A dialogue of contrast and balance. Together, they feel modular, almost architectural, like fragments from two eras finding harmony in a single form.

This is women’s swimwear rooted in nostalgia: the softness of old film tones, the calm confidence of vintage silhouettes, the way style once lived slowly, worn for summers, not seasons.

Modulo is not only about the bikini in the photograph.
It is about the memory inside it, the woman who wore it, and the way that confidence continues through you.

Cosmos: A Turning Point in Bloom 

Cosmos belongs to a moment that changed everything.

An afternoon at home. Papers on the table. A contract just signed the first official step toward expanding the brand. The room filled with that quiet, fragile excitement that follows big decisions.

Then your mother entered the garden, carrying a bouquet. At the top: a single cosmos flower — small, delicate, impossibly gentle. It became the anchor of the moment.

In the pattern, the cosmos returns in deep burgundy, the colour of the brand’s heart, printed against white. Each flower stands alone, spaced with intention, allowing the memory to breathe.

Cosmos is not just a floral bikini.
It is the imprint of a milestone, the moment expansion became real, and a single bloom became a symbol of everything that followed.

Apiary: The Memory That Never Left

Apiary belongs to a memory that has followed you since the very beginning.

A small 18-karat gold necklace, a tiny bee pendant gifted on the day of your baptism. Worn throughout childhood without thought. Always there. Always resting quietly against the skin.

Over time, it became less of an object and more of a constant. The gold softened with age. The bee turned into a symbol of protection, care, and love that doesn’t need to announce itself.

Apiary takes its colours from that memory: deep brown like aged gold, crossed with yellow stripes echoing the pendant’s form. This pattern is not about bees in a literal sense, but about what the necklace carried — childhood, tenderness, family, and the feeling of being guided.

Apiary is a keepsake translated into fabric.
A memory gathered and carried forward.

Returning Favourites, Reimagined 

Still Gathering also brings back selected favourites from last summer — restocked in new colours and updated patterns. Not because they sold well, but because they still felt unfinished.

Because some pieces are not meant to disappear.
They evolve, just like the memories attached to them.

Swimwear for Summer and Beyond 

This collection is made of bikinis for summer, but not only for beaches. These are pieces designed to move with you, worn under linen shirts, paired with oversized knits, packed for trips that unfold slowly.

Still Gathering is slow fashion swimwear at its core. Thoughtful. Emotional. Designed to last.

Because what we wear becomes part of our story.
And some stories are still being gathered.
