Venetian brand Barena is characterised by its relaxed, naturally fitting clothing that flirt with the past while remaining firmly in the present. Much of the inspiration for the brand's designs comes from the clothing and ways of life of the prehistoric peoples who lived around the lagoon that would become Venice.

Their collections are dominated by the use of natural materials, selected to honour local production traditions. Even closer attention is paid to the detailing of each garment, which, in its simplicity, makes each piece unique.
