The Palm Dress

$185.00 USD

Meet our new signature style: effortless elegance. Inspired by Palm Springs’ mid-century charm, this halter-top dress is where timeless chic meets refined design. Featuring a flattering square neckline, delicate shirring for comfort, darts for a sophisticated structure, and a corset back for the perfect fit, it’s all in the details. Crafted in our breathable, luxe linen, she’s a sun-soaked dream—perfect for poolside lounging or golden hour soirées. Just add strappy sandals and a vintage martini.

We use 100% pure linen — no blends, no shortcuts. Just breathable, natural fibre that gets softer with every wear. Our pieces are made in partnership with small-scale manufacturers who specialise in craftsmanship, not mass production. Every seam, stitch and shirred panel is done with intention — because details matter.

Pure linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world. Made from flax, it requires significantly less water and fewer pesticides than other crops. Every part of the flax plant is used, leaving zero waste, and the fabric is fully biodegradable at the end of its life. Its durability means linen lasts longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements—making it a natural choice for a greener wardrobe

We choose pre-order to avoid overproduction and create only what’s truly wanted. By working with small-batch makers with low minimums, we can produce intentionally — based on real customer feedback, not guesswork. Every pre-order helps us gauge interest, refine fit, and improve with each run. It’s how we test and evolve our capsule collection — slowly, thoughtfully, and always with you in mind. Thank you for being part of the process.
