When I first started playing padel and tennis regularly, I ran into a small but frustrating problem: I couldn’t find the kind of sportswear I really wanted to wear. It was either ultra-functional but too plain, or cute and trendy but not made to move in. I remember thinking, why is it so hard to find something that feels sporty, stylish, and feminine – all at once?
That thought stuck with me. And over time, it turned into a quiet obsession: what if I created it myself?
Our journey to the perfect set
CÉCA was never just born out of a desire to design sportswear. It started with a missing piece, the lack of clothing that truly makes women feel what they are on the court: strong, stylish, and full of confidence.
We started by working out ideas: what would we want to wear ourselves? What does the ideal set look like? What absolutely cannot be missing? With those questions in mind, we tested countless samples. Each item was reviewed critically: is it comfortable, does it move with you, does it keep its shape?
The result? A thoughtful, powerful selection carefully curated. A collection that represents everything CÉCA was founded for: sportswear that makes you feel your best, from the first serve to your last coffee after the match.
Meet the collection: Functional meets style
Our very first launch includes three pieces I’m incredibly proud of: the Aurea Set, the Alba Dress, and the Ace Dress. Each one represents a part of the CÉCA philosophy, performance and beauty in balance.
The Aurea Set is where it all started. A co-ord look that’s effortless, flattering, and made to move. It comes in three timeless shades and features a sleek, cropped top and high-waisted skirt that hugs just right. It’s stylish, but never fussy – the kind of set you throw on and instantly feel pulled together in.
The Alba Dress is the definition of quiet confidence. Clean lines, a subtle silhouette, and a buttery-soft stretch fabric that moves with you. It’s minimal, elegant, and ideal for women who want to keep it simple and strong.
The Ace Dress, on the other hand, brings the energy. With bolder shaping and a more dynamic look, it’s made for players who like to stand out and stay sharp – both in their style and their game.
Style with Intention
CÉCA isn’t about fast fashion or following trends. It’s about timeless pieces that fit into your life, your movement, and your mood. I wanted to create a collection you can wear again and again – on the court, and beyond. The kind of pieces that make you feel like you, only a little more confident, a little more powerful, and a lot more comfortable.
