The Print Story

"Two artisan traditions. One kimono that couldn't exist without both."

The Tie Kimono was drawn from two of the oldest pattern-making traditions in the world — both built on repetition, both built on the relationship between a motif and its ground, both built on the understanding that the edge of a textile is as important as its centre.

Ember Damask came from the hand-dyed damask textiles of the Middle East and Central Asia — the intricate floral repeat on a terracotta ground that comes from the earth the dye was made from. The border at the cuff is the loom's own edge.

Aqua Tile came from the hand-painted geometric tiles of North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean — the floral motif inside its geometric frame, cobalt and white on a ground the colour of the water those tiles overlook. The border at the cuff is the grout line.

Different traditions. The same understanding of what makes a pattern complete.

"It actually felt like the photos."

Wore it to a friend's vow renewal in Tulum and three people stopped me on the way to dinner. The cotton-rayon blend is so much softer than I expected.

"Worth every dollar."

I almost never buy dresses online because of fit. The size guide here is the best I've seen — measured my chest, hips, and length, took the L, perfect.

"Stunning — but size up if between."

Print and fabric are gorgeous. Bodice runs slightly snug — I'm usually between an XS and S, took the XS, the shoulder ties helped but I'd recommend the S if you're between sizes.
