Escapes, inspirations and more with Melis Piroglu and Raquel Alhale Rodrig of Fifth Sense

  1. Tell us briefly about the identity and philosophy of your brand? How is it inspired and influenced by the cornerstones of the store this summer, craft, culture & creativity? 

Fifth Sense is designed for women who are aware of their natural beauty. We speak to women who live the moment by appreciating what they own. Inspired by the magical ceremony that starts early in the dawn and ends with the darkness of night, Fifth Sense reminds you that the first rule of dressing up is dressing up in lingerie.

This summer we named our collection Salty Sense, to remember and appreciate the sense of the sea. While our collection is all about the sea, our pieces from Salty Sense are all named after cocktails. 

With Salty Sense, you will embark on a journey on the Mallorca beaches from a hot day to a calm summer evening. 

  1. How is it tied to travel?

No matter where you travel, Fifth Sense is always with you in your suitcase. From salty collections to classiques we come along with you everywhere.
