Acqua di Parma unveils La Caletta, a new Summer 2026 collection created with interior architect Laura Gonzalez

Acqua di Parma has teamed with interior architect Laura Gonzalez to unveil La Caletta, a Summer 2026 collection that celebrates artisanal craftsmanship, design and the Art of Living Italian embodied by the Maison.  

For this new edition Laura Gonzalez reinterprets the universe of Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo through the spirit of La Caletta, infused with elegance and independence. Inspired by coral, rock formations, the sea and light, the creations shape sculptural silhouettes and graphic patterns across the collection, from the exceptional Acropora candle to the bottle caps and labels.

“La Caletta was born from the idea of a hidden place — not a postcard Italy, but a more intimate one. I imagined a quiet rocky ledge where the sea meets stone softly, where summer feels personal rather than demonstrative. It’s about independence, choosing your own rhythm, and finding elegance in restraint. That discreet, almost secret kind of summer was my starting point,” shares Laura Gonzalez.

At the heart of the collaboration, the Bergamotto La Spugnatura Eau de Parfum uses an ancestral Calabrian artisanal method where the bergamot oil is extracted by hand from the peels using a sponge, a technique preserved by a handful of artisans. The process brings the fragrance exceptional intensity and vibrant nuances.

This unique meeting of creativity and craft has remained at the heart of Acqua di Parma’s identity since 1916.
