Inside The éliou Collection

Step into the design studio for a special collaboration with éliou, returning for its second chapter. A collection of unique pieces, designed with the ease of summer in mind. 

Fusing the inspiration behind the Resort 2026 collection, La Casa, with the architecture of Luis Barragán and the vibrant heritage of Mexico, Duda Teixera and Cristina Mantilla, the co-founders of éliou, reimagine these influences through their own playful lens. Each piece reflects the palette, textures and silhouettes of the season – a blend of bold colour, organic form and artisanal detail. Handcrafted with care they explore contrasting materials including vibrant glass beads, freshwater pearls, statement shells and gold accents. 

Below, Duda and Cristina share the intimate notes from their process, inspiration moodboards and how they imagined each piece would be styled.


éliou’s philosophy is rooted in creating original jewelry and clothing with intention, care and a deep respect for craftsmanship. Each piece is designed to speak for itself, carrying its own voice and point of view.
