New Arrivals

Fresh pieces from the latest atelier sessions — each carrying a new artisan story, shaped for the European wardrobe. Available now or via pre-order.

The Antwerp Kimono Coat — Kaga-Yuzen hand-painted silk
Kanazawa → AntwerpJust Arrived

Kaga-Yuzen hand-painted silk

Kaga-Yuzen is a centuries-old Japanese dyeing art where every motif is painted directly onto white silk by a single master — no stencils, no repeats. Artisans in Kanazawa use pigments derived from local flora to paint botanical scenes in muted golds and mossy greens. We cut this wearable painting into a full-length kimono coat with a shawl collar, lined in ivory silk charmeuse.

The Oslo Tunic — Rabari mirror-work cotton
Kutch → OsloJust Arrived

Rabari mirror-work cotton

The Rabari communities of Kutch embroider tiny mirrors into raw cotton using chain-stitch — a practice that turns everyday cloth into something that catches desert light. We translate this shimmering textile into a clean, hip-length tunic with side slits and a concealed button-placket.

The Provence Camisole — Ikat-dyed peace silk
Phnom Penh → ProvenceJust Arrived

Ikat-dyed peace silk

Peace silk — or Ahimsa silk — allows the silkworm to complete its life cycle before the cocoon is harvested, producing a slightly nubby, textured thread. Artisans in Phnom Penh dye the yarn using the Ikat resist technique. We shape this gentle fabric into a slim bias-cut camisole with fine spaghetti straps and a cowl neckline.

The Geneva Palazzo — Handwoven Lao cotton-silk
Luang Prabang → GenevaPre-order

Handwoven Lao cotton-silk

In Luang Prabang, Lao weavers blend hand-spun cotton and raw silk on floor looms, producing a cloth with the body of cotton and the luminosity of silk. We cut this cloth into palazzo trousers with a flat front and deep pleats that open like a curtain when you walk.

The Stockholm Scarf Coat — Pashmina-weight Banarasi silk
Varanasi → StockholmPre-order

Pashmina-weight Banarasi silk

Using the same pit-looms that produce our Vienna Drape Dress fabric, Varanasi weavers create a heavier Pashmina-weight silk with a softly brushed surface. We fashion it into a dramatic scarf coat — a knee-length cocoon whose oversized collar can be unwound into a full scarf.

The Porto Wrap Skirt — Ajrakh natural-dyed linen
Bhuj → PortoJust Arrived

Ajrakh natural-dyed linen

The same Ajrakh block-printing tradition behind our Zurich Wrap, applied here to a lighter European linen base. Artisans in Bhuj stamp indigo and madder root patterns onto the cloth in sixteen stages over four days. We tailor it into a mid-calf wrap skirt with a single bone button closure and an asymmetric hem.
