Ciao Ciao Vacation's Salina collection is here — and it's the label doing what it does best: taking the language of vintage sportswear and making it feel like something you discovered rather than something you bought. Inspired by long summer days beside the Mediterranean, the pieces in this drop carry that particular energy of somewhere beautiful with nowhere you need to be. Washed charcoal, ocean blues, warm coffee tones and soft cream. Oversized tees, wide-leg pants, a polo that owns every room it walks into, and a jumper that will spend the rest of the summer being borrowed.
Here's what just landed at Roze & Thorn.
The Speedway Tees: Three Takes on a Signature Silhouette
Ciao Ciao's speedway tee format has become one of the most recognizable in the brand's lineup — oversized V-neck body, long contrast sleeves, a front graphic that earns attention. Salina brings three new versions, each distinctly its own thing.
The Tiger Speedway Tee is probably the strongest single piece in the drop. Washed black base, leaping tiger and "CCV" in orange and amber on the chest, contrast cream sleeves with a bold black stripe print that reads like abstracted tiger markings. It's graphic and specific in a way that makes it feel genuinely considered rather than just another printed tee.
The Marshmellow Speedway Tee runs with the same washed black base but takes the front graphic in a completely different direction: "CIAO CIAO VACATION" in oversized blue bubble-graffiti lettering with sparkle star details, set against cream/off-white sleeves printed with blue stars. The two tees are the same silhouette with completely different personalities, which is the point.
And then there's the Blue Hibiscus Speedway Tee — which arrives in an entirely different palette. Royal/cornflower blue body, a large dark navy hibiscus graphic with "CIAO/CIAO" in mirrored text, double navy stripe cuffs. It's the colour you wear when you want the outfit to do the work. On smaller frames it's long enough to wear as a dress; on larger frames it's the kind of cover-up that actually covers.
The Lucky Balter Polo: The Statement Piece
The Lucky Balter Polo is the piece that gets photographed. Electric blue, "lucky charming" in oversized white gothic script across the chest and sleeves, classic polo collar and short button placket. It's loud in the way that only works when the execution is good enough to back it up — and this is.
In the Salina campaign it's styled with the Star Lobster Ring Side Pant for a full cobalt-and-navy moment. It also wears back to wide-leg black pants, bike shorts, denim — the saturated blue is surprisingly accommodating.
The Bottoms: Star Lobster Ring Side Pant and Café Bobbie Pants
Two bottom options in Salina, and they couldn't read more differently.
The Star Lobster Ring Side Pant is the showstopper: dark navy wide-leg pants with bold cream panels running down both outer leg seams, blue stars printed down each panel, light blue hem trim. It's the pant that makes every top look intentional. The elastic waist keeps it easy; the star side panels do the rest. Worn with the Lucky Balter Polo in campaign, it creates that blue-on-blue tonal moment that reads as deliberately considered rather than accidentally matching.
The Café Bobbie Pants are the reliable workhorses of the drop — warm chocolate brown wide-leg cotton jersey, elasticated waist with a cream CCV star badge, logo tab at the hem. The kind of bottom that makes every top in your wardrobe look more considered. They pair directly with the 7788 Club Tee for a full warm-toned co-ordinate, or wear back to anything and everything else as the easiest pull-on pant in the rotation.
The Vintage Sports Tiger Jumper: The One Everyone Will Borrow
The Vintage Sports Tiger Jumper in cream is built from a soft cotton fleece with actual weight to it — warm without being heavy, the piece you reach for automatically. The front carries a large vintage sports mascot graphic: a leaping tiger in orange, amber and gold landing atop "CCV" lettering in the same palette. It looks like it's been through ten years of washes already. CCV branded tape runs full-length down both sleeves in a blue-ground repeating text pattern.
Ribbed crew neck, cuffs and hem. Wear it with the Café Bobbie Pants for the warm-toned campaign look, or throw it over anything and immediately feel more put-together.
The 7788 Club Tee: The Stripe with Details
The 7788 Club Tee rounds out the drop — a fine brown and cream horizontal stripe tee with "77" and "88" numerals in red on the chest, a retro rectangular graphic patch in the centre, and contrast solid dark brown panels on the sides and sleeves. 3/4 length boxy sleeves, V-neck, classic oversized Ciao Ciao silhouette. The warm brown-cream palette reads directly with the Café Bobbie Pants as a co-ordinate.
