Black Sun Velvet Embroidered Mini Dress
Gold embroidery takes centre stage on our Black Sun Velvet Embroidered Mini Dress, with an ornate sunburst design sweeping across the chest and beautiful matching details at the cuffs. Inspired by a vintage piece from our own archive, we worked closely with one of our Indian suppliers to develop the intricate gold zari embroidery, creating something that feels almost regal in its detailing. The crushed viscose velvet is a fabric we first fell in love with in Delhi, with a beautiful texture that catches the light and gives the gold thread even more richness. Delicate beading around the neckline, a small stand collar and dramatic flared sleeves complete the design. Cut to gently skim the waist with room through the hips, it's finished with a metal back zip.
There's something wonderfully reminiscent of Anita Pallenberg at a Rolling Stones party in 1969 about this piece. Think knee-high leather boots, oversized gold rings and a shaggy Afghan coat thrown over the shoulders. We also love the idea of wearing it as a tunic over printed flares with a wide belt, bringing a completely different character to all that beautiful velvet and gold embroidery.

The Stage Is Set: Paint It Black
This is your dark romantic chapter, steeped in velvet, gold thread and the heady spirit of late-60s rock aristocracy.
Inspired by the likes of Stevie Nicks, Pattie Boyd, Jane Birkin and Françoise Hardy, each piece carries that intoxicating mix of sensuality and power. Think candlelit clubs, the scent of incense, the hum of an amplifier warming up. Silhouettes move like smoke, with sweeping sleeves, opulent embroidery and fabrics that glimmer softly under the lights.
From black velvet flares and embroidered jackets to lurex gowns and dramatic capes, every detail has been designed to make an entrance. Rich tones of bronze, ochre and antique gold bring warmth to the darkness, while folk motifs and ornate trims nod to our love of craftsmanship.
A collection for those who live for the night, for the music, for the magic.
