Surrounded by a dark green summer growth
With a touch of yellow blossoms
Gentle waves lap against the sand
While a breeze blows in from the water
Eyes closed, I take in a deeply fragrant breath
Dressed in the comfort of natural fibres
The gentle wind uplifts the fabric and my summer mood
This organic linen T-shirt dress creates a loose, floaty silhouette with a breathable quality in its fine weave. A curved hem that falls just below the knee and a relaxed dropped shoulder silhouette with a simple crew neck elevate the basic T-shirt dress into an airy, ethereal frock fit for a goddess.
A burst of fine pleats radiates from the empire waist of the maxi gown in crinkled tie-dyed linen. With its harmonious tie-dyed blues in natural indigo, this linen dress is what summertime dreams are made of.
Wide stripes in interchanging shades of dark, light blue and light mustard gold take the spotlight in this one-of-a-kind A-line ramie dress, defining freedom of motion.
All the comfort of tossing on your favourite T-shirt gets a stylish spin in this effortlessly chic linen dress. A tulip-shaped hemline with slit sides, shorter at the front and longer at the back, creates movement when walking and adds visual interest.
This feminine frock defines a nipped-in silhouette with a back tie at the waist forming a sweet bow. Creamy sheer fabric gives the dress a graceful lightness, with a spin of the mid-calf length skirt reminiscent of the delicate arc of a Calla lily.
This floaty two-layer skirt owes its vibrant colour to an ancient tie-dyeing technique that used natural indigo dye. Reminiscent of the haze of wispy clouds in a vivid blue sky, the exterior is made of semi-sheer mulberry silk. A cotton inner skirt adds volume while keeping cool.
Part dress, part cardigan, this unique piece evokes windswept landscapes. Like the ever-changing formations of the sea, sky, and clouds, tie-dye patterns decorate the hem with star-shaped rings layered in a halo-like design. Walk gently on a field of clouds and be at one with nature!
A subtle pattern of wide sheer and semi-sheer stripes adds depth to this button-down Organic Linen Shirt in deep navy.
Combining the structure of the shirt dress with linen’s natural texture, this form-flattering khaki piece stays sharp with easy fit, creating the epitome of comfy-chic for any occasion.
