Crafted from breathable linen, Heracleion Rising is a playful yet structured mini dress that brings ancient elegance into a modern silhouette. Featuring a deep V neckline and fitted bodice, it flatters the waist with hand-braided detailing for texture and shape.
The skirt flares with bold movement, adorned in an original print inspired by the underwater city of Heracleion—complete with sunken columns, amphorae, symbolic lions, and Greco-Egyptian architecture immersed in coral blues and terracotta tones. Easy to wear but rich in story, this piece bridges sun-drenched summer style with centuries-old coastal mystery.

Design Story:
Beneath the waves of Alexandria lies the lost city of Heracleion—once a thriving port where Greek and Egyptian civilizations intertwined. For centuries, it remained hidden under the sea, its temples, columns, and colossal statues swallowed by time and tide. Heracleion was more than a city; it was a gateway of gods and trade, where myths were lived and history was written in stone.
Rediscovered in the early 2000s, its submerged ruins revealed sunken ships, lion-guarded sanctuaries, and sacred inscriptions that whispered of a world where Poseidon and Amun-Ra shared the same skyline. The city’s story is one of silence and rediscovery, a symbol of ancient grandeur, mystery, and the timeless power of cultural fusion.
