Victoria Federica de Marichalar has showcased a striking two-piece striped look by Spanish fashion label Copines during a recent holiday to Mexico.
The 24-year-old Spanish royal, who has now returned home to Madrid, shared photographs of the pastel yellow ensemble from a boat excursion with friends across the Atlantic.
The relaxed outfit paired a high-necked halter top with voluminous harem trousers featuring colourful floral embroidery, confirming her fondness for homegrown Spanish designers.
Victoria Federica is the daughter of Infanta Elena, Duchess of Lugo, and Jaime de Marichalar, making her the niece of Spain's reigning monarch, King Felipe VI. Ranked fifth in the line of succession to the Spanish throne, she has carved out a distinct profile in European lifestyle media. Over recent years, she has become a regular fixture at fashion shows and high-profile events, frequently championing domestic artisan labels alongside established luxury fashion houses.
Copines Brote collection
For her day on the water, the royal opted for Copines, an independent Spanish label that emphasises small-batch production and garments handcrafted in Spain. Federica selected two coordinating pieces from the brand's Brote collection, both made from breathable cotton woven with delicate yellow and white stripes.
The upper garment is the Top Brote Amarillo, which retails for 70 euros. Designed with clean and minimalist lines, the top features a high, closed collar, a halter neckline, and completely exposed shoulders.
The trousers, listed as the Bombacho Brote Amarillo, are priced at 178 euros. Cut with a high-rise waist and front pleats, the design features wide, loose legs that gather at the ankles with an elasticated finish. The voluminous silhouette draws on classic harem pants, providing comfort and airflow in warm climates.
Handmade details and pricing
The standout feature of the trousers is a multicoloured floral embroidery running down one leg. Handcrafted in shades of red, blue, and green, the floral design introduces an artisanal garden motif that breaks up the traditional striped pattern.
Federica embraced an effortless approach while on the boat, posing barefoot with her hair worn loose and natural. The simple presentation demonstrated that the vibrant set required minimal accessories.
According to official pricing published by Copines, the complete two-piece set costs 248 euros. The purchase marks another occasion where the royal has packed pieces from the Spanish brand for overseas travel.
Styling harem trousers for autumn
The boat excursion offered a warm-weather break from the colder weather setting in across Spain. Sharing the look with her Instagram followers after touching down in Madrid, Federica wrote that her mind was still lingering in Mexico.
Her holiday suitcase in Mexico featured a versatile mix of styles, alternating between bold, attention-grabbing pieces and relaxed daytime sets. The trip follows a series of international fashion appearances that have drawn attention in recent months. Earlier this year, Federica travelled to Peru dressed in Louis Vuitton to watch close friend and Peruvian matador Andres Roca Rey perform in the bullring. She also took an autumn getaway to Austria, where she wore an exclusive 1,100 euro jacket that showcased the season's luxury outerwear trends.
As temperatures drop across Spain, shoppers are already turning to heavy coats, knitwear, and winter boots. However, the Spanish fashion press noted that ballooning harem trousers need not be packed away until summer. By pairing the embroidered cotton pants with a chunky knit jumper and everyday trainers, the resort style can enjoy a second life during the transitional autumn months.
