Into The Blue

    Into the Blue is our love letter to the ocean, sunshine, island life and our home, Western Australia.

    Shot on the sun-soaked shores of Rottnest Island, this collection reflects the beauty and serenity of our coastal paradise. With our stunning models Letecia Price, Serena Berhnhardt and our co-founder Chelle, the shoot came to life under the direction of our other co-founder Aimee, and the lens of photographer Chloe Heawood.

    Rottnest Island was the perfect location for this collection – its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and endless sunshine encapsulate everything that brings us joy and inspires our designs.

    Into the Blue is more than just swim and resort wear. It’s a tribute to the mermaids within us all who are drawn to the sea and thrive in summer. It’s about capturing the essence of the vibrant blues of the ocean, and the feeling that comes with living off of island time. Each piece in this collection is carefully designed to embody these elements – from soft whites and ocean blues to intricate shell details, wave-inspired embroidery, and fish motifs that make us think of the treasures hidden beneath the water’s surface.


    This collection holds a special place in our hearts as it was the first time we got to see our designs come to life right in front of our eyes. It was definitely a 'pinch me' moment when our models put on our pieces for the first time. It was a labour of love to get here - with multiple sample revisions, designs that didn't make the cut and new ones added at the last minute. We hope this collection transports you to the seaside villages of Greece, Maldivian sand banks in the middle of the ocean, and the hidden coves on an Australian island. 


    We hope that when you wear these pieces, you’ll feel as connected to the ocean as we do. We can’t wait for you to explore the collection and join us on the journey that is XARACCA.

    Rottnest Island is our second home so we thought we would share some of our tips for anyone who wants to visit this slice of paradise, too. 

    Top beaches:
    • Salmon Bay
    • Little Salmon Bay
    • Parakeet Bay
    • Little Parakeet Bay
    • The Basin
    • Parker Point

    Tips:
    • Book the 7.30am ferry to beat the crowds! We also recommend booking the 4.30pm ferry home - it seems like a long day, however time flies on island time and we guarantee that you will regret going home any earlier.
    • If you want to explore more of the island in a day, we recommend using the 'hop on hop off' bus. They come around every 20 minutes and will allow you to maximise your beach hopping time!
    • The best time to visit is in the summer months (December-March) for your best chance at calm waters and sunny skies.
    • Bring snacks and plenty of water as once you leave the main settlement, facilities are scarce and there won't be many chances for you to buy food or fill your water up. 
    • Quokkas are all over the island but tend to hang out in the main settlement the most. They are actually nocturnal so you will see them mainly in the morning and late afternoon once the heat cools down. Reminder to not touch or feed them!

    With love,
    Aimee & Chelle
