LA PASSAGÈRE

La Passagère is a collection stitched with intention, a love letter to versatility, romance, and the European dream. The name, translating in Italian to “the feminine passenger,” speaks not just to travel, but to the journey of becoming. It draws from the roots of Arcina Ori’s ever-evolving voyage, and the path of Founder & Designer, Zoe Calodoukas, a woman in motion, forever balancing creative purpose and growth.

LA PASSAGÈRE

Beginning the journey in Mireille

"I started Arcina Ori from 7 samples I planned to take on my dream European holiday in 2020. When the world paused, those samples never made it abroad – instead, they became the unexpected beginning of Arcina Ori.

La Passagère is a return to where it all began, only now the journey is real. After many creative blocks and a long search for a clear source of inspiration, I realised I needed to go back to the reason I started this journey. This year, I’m finally traveling to Europe, to find inspiration, explore new opportunities for Arcina Ori, and take time to recharge. Just like in 2020, I’ve designed pieces I’d want to pack in my suitcase and throw on effortlessly before dinner. This collection celebrates curiosity, transformation, and the quiet strength of following your own path. Because in the end, we’re all passengers of something greater, and these are the pieces made to travel with you.”

THE CAMPAIGN

THE CAMPAIGN

The campaign tells the story of a woman alone on a boat, floating through a sunlit Summer. Though he is near, his presence is distant, a silent companion to her own journey. She moves with confidence and independence, fully immersed in her own path. Together, yet apart. A reminder that true grace is found in owning your solitude and embracing your own journey.
