With its rich brown cotton and tapestry-style embroidery, the Brown Ember Folk Maxi Dress feels like a piece lifted straight from a vintage archive and reworked for everyday wear. Inspired by 70s folk dressing and our own vintage finds, it blends intricate detail with an easy, throw-on shape.

The embroidered yoke is the standout, designed in a stripe-like tapestry pattern that runs across the chest, cuffs and hem. It gives the dress that storybook, artisanal feel, while the softly gathered skirt keeps it relaxed and wearable. Set against the warm brown base, the colours feel grounded and easy to style, making it a piece you’ll keep coming back to.

This is the kind of dress that works from day to night without needing much thought. Worn with sandals, layered jewellery and a vintage bag, it feels right for everyday plans, but it can easily be styled up with a wedge or boots when you want something more considered. Add the Cassia Crochet Cape on cooler evenings for extra texture.

We can picture Joni Mitchell or Ali MacGraw in something like this, somewhere between a record-filled afternoon and a festival weekend, styled simply but always with intention.

Magic Carpet Ride

Magic Carpet Ride is rooted in festival fields, drawing from the golden age of bohemia, where folk detail, festival dressing and richly layered influences from across the world came together in the most beautiful way.

Inspired by decorative carpets and beautifully ornate textiles, the collection is built around bold, story-filled prints, intricate embroidery and crochet textures that feel rich with history.

From floaty kaftans and dramatic capes to embroidered maxis, flowing dresses and soft cotton pieces, the collection carries that unmistakable sense of freedom that defined an era.

Antique carpet motifs, sun-faded stripes, mirror work and handcrafted details run throughout, echoing vintage festival style and embroidered keepsakes. Every piece has that collected feel, like something discovered along the way.

It’s the kind of collection that feels like it’s been gathered over time, piece by piece, each one like something found on some faraway adventure.
