Introducing the OTOK Collection: A Love Letter to Croatian Summers 🌊

A Love Letter to Croatian Summers:

Our NEW Collection OTOK is arriving this Australian Summer.

There are certain places in the world that live in your memory long after you’ve left. For PLIVATI founder Julianne Bobanovic, that place has always been the Croatian coastline — a landscape shaped by sun-drenched islands, cherry orchards, aquamarine waters and the unhurried rhythm of Summer on the Adriatic.

This season, those memories come to life in The OTOK Collection — a new range of Women’s, Men’s and Kid’s swimwear inspired by the islands (“Otok” meaning island in Croatian) and designed for the modern Australian summer.

OTOK is more than a collection.

It’s a story — one woven through heritage, light, colour and the magic of European Summer.

🍒 

Višnja: The Sweetness of Summer

The first signature print in the collection, Višnja, takes its cue from the cherries found across Croatia during Summer. Bold, vibrant and full of personality, this print feels playful yet refined — an instant mood-lifter for beach days, holidays and warm afternoons spent seaside.

With flattering one pieces, supportive bikini tops, high-waisted bottoms and matching children’s swimwear, Višnja delivers both nostalgia and modern femininity.

🌊 

Čiovo: Calm, Coastal & Effortlessly Refined

In contrast to Višnja’s bold energy, the Čiovo print channels the softer side of Adriatic living. Named after Croatia’s serene island of Čiovo, this print captures the muted blues, stony coves and gentle sea lines that define the region.

The result is a timeless, calming palette perfect for those who love understated elegance. Paired with clean silhouettes and luxe recycled fabrics, Čiovo is made for slow beach days, coastal holidays and everything in between.

Family Swim, Elevated

OTOK brings together the entire family with coordinated swimwear in both prints.

This includes:

• Women’s one pieces and bikini sets
• Men’s mid-length swim shorts
• Girl’s and boy’s swim styles
• Lightweight sarongs designed for fuss-free beach-to-bar styling

Whether you’re planning a European getaway or relaxing on the Australian coastline, OTOK makes matching moments both effortless and stylish.

Crafted with Care — and Consciousness

At PLIVATI, design is always intentional.

The OTOK Collection is proudly made from premium recycled fabrics with UPF50+ protection, offering:

• A soft yet supportive feel
• Quick-drying, travel-friendly comfort
• Long-lasting durability
• A more conscious approach to Summer essentials

Every piece is fully lined, thoughtfully constructed and created to be worn for seasons, not just a single Summer.

A Collection Rooted in Heritage

For Julianne, OTOK is a deeply personal project.

“Croatia has become a second home — a place where my family gathers, where Summers feel endless and where beauty exists in simple moments.

I wanted to bring that feeling into our Swimwear. OTOK is my love letter to that part of my life.”

This fusion of Croatian heritage and coastal Australian lifestyle gives the collection its unique soul — fresh, modern and rich with story.
