A Closer Look

Limited to 50 pieces ✷
Crafted slow, made to order, and worth the wait. Estimated delivery: 3–4 months.

The Open Wings Knitted Butterfly Cape is folk-art magic in wearable form. Hand-knitted with a rich mix of earthy browns, soft beige and flashes of teal and blue, its intricate butterfly and floral motifs channel a moment when psychedelia met the folk revival. A swish of fringe, a tie-neck detail, and pure 60s/70s spirit make this a statement layer you’ll reach for all year round. Whether you’re heading to the forest or just need a little extra wonder in your wardrobe.

More than a garment, this is a piece to create memories in. To turn heads at festivals, to wrap yourself in on a winter walk, or to drape over your favourite chair when it’s not in wear. You can picture it on Joni in Laurel Canyon or Cass Elliot in full performance mode – joyful, bold and unapologetically herself. Open Wings isn’t just a cape. It’s poetry in yarn.

Behind The Magic

Emporium pieces begin with a feeling, a fabric found in a faraway market, a moment in music history, or a silhouette worn by a 70s icon.
From hand-drawn prints to rare embroidery techniques, each design is steeped in nostalgia and brought to life with care and intention.

These are the pieces we dream about creating and the ones you’ll never forget discovering.

Crafted for the dreamers, the seekers, the collectors of beautiful things.
