From the inspiration of the collection, coming from all universe elements, to the finalproduct, we want to reflect the journey that the garment undergoes when it becomes alive. Each design starts from draping, a research on how the body will assemble the dialogue with the shape, the colour, the fabric and the movement of the body. Then comes the research of unique techniques and fabrics through travels.
The audacious journey of each garment, the humanity, the creativity, the culture, the collaboration with scaled people, the passion and the sweat, fascinates us. And the making of the garments, bags and accessories is the result of this impressive journey.
We want to capture imaginations at each step of this journey and instil in the brand the kind of passion that never goes out of style.

People/Women empowerment, humanity, heritage and a cycle system of the raw materials are at the essence of the re-launch of the label.
Sea True combines the heritage of Couture and the unique know-how of isolated artisans to produce socially responsible products. Upcoming collaborations, combining different arts and souls, will reflect our willingness to give a sustainable and positive social impact through luxury.
We believe that something strong, positive and beautiful can be achieved; a story of people, a story of life, the kind of sparkle that enlighten a vision. That is why See true/Arrivals is a mosaic of cultures, a place where globalisation enrich people instead of standardize them, an experiment towards a boundary breaking fashion!
