‘The arrival of the women’s collection allows us to further expand our offering in the sector, embodying the iconic style of Ambitious to the fullest,’ says Pedro Lopes, Brand Manager at Ambitious. ‘Beyond is our vision of a summer made of lightness, movement and character. We combine nostalgic references with contemporary technical solutions to create versatile models, designed for today’s everyday life without sacrificing elegance.’
