Features

Silk maxi dress. Wide boat neckline. Long dolman sleeves with gathered cuffs. Blouson bodice over a braided drawstring waist. Floor-length skirt worked with a raised braided diamond lattice. Pure silk twill from regenerative farms. S / M / L (IT 40 / 42 / 44), plus custom sizing. Turquoise, with navy made to order.
Story

Collection 002 is about release, and what remains once the ideal has gone. The Braid holds both halves of that in one length of cloth: raised cord worked below the waist until the diamond lattice sits permanently in the silk, and above it nothing at all...no fastening, no closure, the shoulders left alone. Structure in one place, ease in the other.
Styling

The waist is set...elastic, with the braided tie running over it, so the proportion is decided and there is nothing to adjust. The dress carries its own length and asks for nothing over the shoulders. Wear it as it comes, and let the lattice be the only detail in the room.

SILK TWILL:

Our 100% silk twill is best cared for with dry cleaning to preserve its natural luster and drape. Due to its generous weight, it can also be gently steam-ironed at home on medium to high heat, moving continuously to avoid scorching.

For at-home cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild soap, pat dry with a towel, and hang to air dry — never wring or twist.

Natural creasing may occur throughout the day — this is a beautiful quality of pure silk, a sign of its organic character and ease.

SILK GEORGETTE:

Our 100% silk georgette is best cared for with dry cleaning to maintain its airy drape and soft translucence. It can also be gently steamed or carefully ironed at home on low to medium heat with a pressing cloth, always moving continuously to avoid scorching.

For at-home cleaning, hand wash delicately in cool water with a gentle soap, softly pat dry with a towel, and hang to air dry — avoiding any wringing or twisting, as georgette is a delicate weave.

Natural creasing may occur throughout the day — this is a beautiful quality of pure silk, a sign of its organic character and ease.
