Inspired by poet Leonard Cohen’s famous quote “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in”, this design celebrates the ways our experiences shape us, and the perfect beauty of imperfection. Created using several pieces of Delft tile from the 1700’s — including two elaborate Italianate landscape scenes — we chose to leave in the cracks and slight imperfections from the original ceramic in our final print. Just as there is so much beauty in the patina, there is so much to embrace about the challenges we’ve overcome that make us who we are! The two patterns found in the trim come from an 1867 British book on classical ornamentation, and an earthenware plaque from the Netherlands painted in 1780.
The adjustable straps, oversized cut, and soft, flowy bamboo viscose make our Bohéme dresses a wardrobe staple for layering, running errands, dancing, lounging or napping — and they’re also a must-have for travel, wherever you roam.
Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend layering it with our Étoile slip (or any other slip you have) when wearing it with bare legs. Our models are wearing the dress without a slip. Djuna is shown worn with our Let The Light In Opera Duster (sold separately).
100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.
