Our Top 5 Dresses for Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower is an annual garden show which takes place during May and is hold for 5 continuous days. Held in Chelsea, since 1912, the show is attended by many members of the public, as well members of the British Royal Family.

Summer is just around the corner and women are prepared to dress up more then ever. The Chelsea Flower show is a great opportunity to dress up in gorgeous new summer dresses that may have been sitting in your wardrobe for a couple of weeks, waiting to be worn.

Below we offer inspiration on what to wear, based on two of our brands, Odd Molly and Dea Kudibal.

Odd Molly’s - Antonia Dress in Light Porcelain

First up, we have the Antonia Dress by Odd Molly. This dress is a very flattering maxi dress, with a v-neck line and a gathering at the waist. It also features beautiful floral embroidery at the upper front and back of the dress, which we believe to be a must for The Chelsea Flower Show!

The Antonia Dress would be ideal to wear during the day, paired with a pair of flat sandals.

Odd Molly’s Annika Long Dress

If you want to opt for something more colourful and floral, the Annika Long dress in multi peach is the perfect dress for you.

The Annika dress, has a waistband with smock at the front and back and a wide skirt with cutlines, which allows for great movement.

Dea Kudibal’s Adelaide in Mytilene Capri

On the other hand, we have the Adelaide in Mytilene Capri, a sexier and cooler dress. It’s beautiful floral print, will make you fit right in; whilst its bodycon shape features, will compliment your figure.

The Adelaide dress is made out of stretch silk and is machine washable, what more could you want from a dress!?

Dea Kudibal’s Vivian in Aphrodite Sunrise

The Vivian in Aphrodite Sunrise, is perfect for all shapes and sizes. The dress has a wrap belt at the waistline, which allows you to tighten as much as you please. The print is something a bit different to what we’d normally wear to the Chelsea Flower Show. However, to be different, means to be unique; and being unique has always been a positive thing in my eyes.

Dea Kudibal’s Harper in Aphrodite Cherry

We always leave the best to last. Dea Kudibal’s Harper dress, is a girl’s best friend. It has a beautiful array of colours, and it’s shape, it’s flattering to all.

Bank Holiday Outfit Ideas

The weekend we’ve all been waiting for is just around the corner. Whether you are meeting friends for drinks, going on long walks with your loved ones or if you’re looking to unwind and relax for the weekend we have you covered.

Evening Drinks with the girls

We all love to play dress up. Dea Kudibal’s FRANKIE Dress in Elements will definitely make you feel like the life of the party. Add an oversized blazer, such as Tomorrow Denim’s Ellen Oversized Blazer wash in Clean Bardolino, for an edgier look.

Paired with Caroline Svedbom’s Mirabel Earrings, Antonia Necklace and Gabriella Bangle all in Crystal / Rhodium; and Kennel & Schmenger LEO heels in Black.

Picnic in the Park

Easy, breezy and fabulous, a maxi dress is the perfect outfit to welcome the warmer weather. With it’s intricate floral pattern, the gorgeous Dea Kudibal, CATHY dress in Urania is perfect for this occasion. We then pair it with the EWA Jacket Wash by Tomorrow Denim to dress it down a notch.

We choose to stick to a similar colour palette when adding the jewellery and the shoes. Pastel and nude colours are perfect for spring. We therefore choose Caroline Svedbom’s Mini Drop Earrings, Mini Drop Necklace and Classic Rope Bracelet all in Ivory Cream Delete; and Kennel & Schmenger’s TOWER shoes in Almond.

Beach Getaway

For those of us who seek the sun, the bank holiday weekend, means a lovely beach getaway. There’s nothing better than unwinding on a sun bed, listening to the waves crashing against the sand. Dea Kudibal’s CELESTE in Urban Pink, will keep you looking glam, whilst remaining casual.

Although we do not recommend wearing the jewellery to the actual beach, it could be a nice detail, for those of you who are heading to a beach club for a drink or lunch. The Antonia bracelet and Gabriella Earrings will help add that extra bit of colour.

To finish your perfect beach get away outfit, we recommend the LOVE sandals from Kennel & Schmenger in Pink.

Stroll through the city

For those of you who like to keep active, and take strolls around the city, we opt for Tomorrow Denim Jeans. Although the shape of the jeans may vary depending on your body shape and what you feel the most comfortable in, one of our favourite pairs, is the Brown in Kingston, a high rise straight leg jean. Jeans create more of a casual look. This is why we are then able to pair with a more extravagant blouses such as Dea Kudibal’s Ulrika blouse in Aphrodite Cherry, which adds a bit of colour to the outfit due to its intricate and colourful pattern.

We then decide to keep it rather simple, by styling it with a nice pair or hoops, the Emilia Earrings and the Miro Bracelet in Crystal to match.

When it comes to walks, we want to be as comfortable as possible, that’s why we chose to pair with SHOW from Kennel & Schmneger. The white platform shoes have a hint of colour, in this case, pink, which ties in really well with our Dea Kudibal ULRIKA top.

Odd Molly's 2022 New Spring Favourites

At the heart and soul of Odd Molly, is a woman who is true to herself and lives a fearless lifestyle. She sees fashion as an outlet for self expression. Her choice of clothes are always carefully crafted, in order to express her confident feminine and playful characteristics.

Odd Molly has always predominantly been inspired by the bohemian look of the 70’s. Key pieces include embellished tops and blouses, relaxed throw-on knitwear, bohemian silky dresses and suede jackets. With exclusive pieces being delivered each month.

In this particular post, we bring to you some of our favourite pieces which have just entered the stores in April.

Finest Embroidery Frill Blouse in Plain Pink

A must have for this spring, is a jersey cotton top. This frill blouse, has anglaise details and frilled sleeves. The blouse can be dressed down with a pair of shorts, perfect for a trip down the beach; or may also be worn with a white or pastel pink skirt for that dressier evening look.

The blouse can also be found in darker shades, such as Faded Cargo, Ladybug Red and Tornado Blue.

Finest Embroidery Dress in Bright White

If dresses are more your thing, then look no further, as the Finest Embroidery blouse also comes as a Dress .With gorgeous lace and a picot edge around the neckline, the details on this one are to die for. Although the colour choices are more limiting than the blouse, you can still find this dress in Ladybug Red and Faded Cargo.

Annika Dress in Aqua Porcelain and Multi Peach

If you love bright colours and intricate patterns as much as we do, then the Annika Dress might be the one for you. The Odd Molly Annika Dress has smock at the upper front and smock which gathers around the neckline. It comes in three different colours, the Aqua Porcelain, Multi Blue and Multi Peach, which all acquire their own personality and mood. For example, the Aqua Porcelain on the left, we would recommend wearing more during the evening, as opposed to the Multi Peach, on the right, which we would consider as more of a day, lounging about the beach dress.

Hannah Long Dress in Light Porcelain

The Hannah Long dress, is a great alternative, if you often gravitate more towards Maxi dresses. The Odd Molly Hannah Long Dress is a very feminine dress. The fit allows for some flowing movement, and has small details, such as the bow at the back of the dress, which accentuate the waist.

DEA KUDIBAL'S EXCLUSIVE SANTENA IN PINK

Dea Kudibal is famous for its silk woven stretch blouses. The first blouse that they ever made in 2008 was the Santena blouse. The blouse has been replicated season throughout season in different colours and patterns, making it one of Dea Kudibal’s bestsellers.

Jemma, also known as The Shoe Loving Stylist, has worked alongside many boutiques such as Amari and The Dressing Room. Today, we had the pleasure of having her at our showroom, looking stylish as ever in Dea Kudibal’s Santena silk blouse and Tomorrow Denim’s Teresa Regular Jeans.

Like any other silk blouse from Dea Kudibal, it is machine washable and made out of stretch silk. It is bright and bold and will help you radiate confidence.

Introducing our newest brand, Karl Donoghue

A new year, brings new and exciting things to us all. In the case of our agency, the new year, meant welcoming a selection of new brands.

The first brand being Karl Donoghue. Karl Donoghue was conceived in the heart of London and is inspired by the beauty of natural skins and their unique intricate qualities. Calfskin, shearling and leather are the DNA for each collection. Using the highest quality skins, Karl brings to life his ideas from designs to customise trims by working closely with the most exclusive tanneries in Spain. 

From colour to texture, it is a natural material that brings the most luxurious element to fashion, inspiring silhouettes and detailing including innovative finishes and sophisticated palettes. Unlike mass-production techniques, individual panels are cut by hand before the garment is constructed by a single machinist and then hand finished at our London studio.

The brand has a strong sustainability focus. The shearling is therefore produced using CO2 which helps reduce the brands waste, resulting in a more sustainable approach to tanning. The brand only use skins that are a by product of the meat industry. As a result, these skins and shearlings are given a new lease of life in Karl Donoghue's beautifully crafted collections, as opposed to being thrown away into landfill. For example, creating products from leather, a by-product of the meat and dairy industry, prevents around 7-9 million tonnes of additional waste globally each year. Please note, Karl Donoghue is a fur free brand.

In his new AW22 collection, ‘Reimagining Elements’ is a metaphoric illustration of how multi seasonal layers integrate in an ethereal palette influenced by the atmospheric elements around us. Karl Donoghue creates an immersive and inclusive collection paying tribute to the ever-evolving world around us. The capsule range offers three styles with two multi-functional layers of luxury clothing, with many of the pieces being reversible. Furthermore, the collection also offers a capsule of cashmere products, as well as accessories. All knitwear is produced in Nepal using hand looms as opposed to automated looms which countries such as China use. The yarn is 100% pure Cashmere, spun from Inner Mongolian goat wool which is considered the highest quality. The styles regarding the cashmere capsule, have been designed to complement the rest of the KD collection for both colour and silhouette.

RRP: £160-£2,700

Showing from now until 11th March.

Tis' the season for velour with Odd Molly !

In Odd Molly’s AW21 collection you will find just about everything from stylish party dresses and cute boho designs for any occasion. However, as Christmas will soon be upon us, and we always like to get a head start, we turn to all things cosy yet glam, in particular velour.

Siri Dress

Dresses were made to be worn all year round. The temperatures may have dropped but there’s nothing stopping you from layering up and pairing them with tights, knee-high boots or a cute pair of jeans. In this instance, Odd Molly has created the perfect velour combo.

The Siri Dress was made for velour lovers. It has hidden press buttons and a tie waistband which can be adjusted. The dress also comes in different colour combinations such as Spiced Honey and Almost Black.

Siri Pants and Hoodie

The Siri pants and hoodie are the perfect loungewear outfit, that is not only cosy, but is also extremely stylish and trendy. These are perfect for days when being comfortable is at the top of your priorities, or for days spent getting cosy around the fireplace.

Allison Jacket and Pants
Be the life of the party with this incredible velvet two-piece in Deep Jade. The velvet pants are wide legs and have elastic around the waist which allows for some flexibility.

Marion Dress
If suits aren’t your cup of tea, we recommend going for the beautiful yet simple Marion Dress. The dress has lovely frill details and the closure at the back has a gorgeous Mother of Pearl button. During the daytime, we suggest pairing with a pair of knee-high boots. However, can also be worn with some gorgeous heels in the evening.

Choose from 4 different colour ways: Asphalt Truffle Brown, Dusty Blossom and Green Potion.

Allison Shirt

Lastly but not least, is the Allison Shirt. The Odd Molly Allison Shirt is a chic velvet shirt that comes in two colours: Asphalt and Sienna. It has press buttons at the front and at the chest pockets. Can be worn on its own with a nice pair of trousers, or be used to layer up any outfit.

YOUR NEW OCCASIONAL STYLE GUIDE FOR WINTER IS HERE - DEA KUDIBAL FLW21

Night Garden, is Dea Kudibal’s newest collection that has just arrived in stores all over the UK. We are super excited about this collection, as it’s one of the most festive ones yet. The collection features the perfect occasional attire for all the glamorous parties which are yet to come this season.

The collection is timeless yet has a cinematic sense of glamour. Inspired by the classical Italian architecture and renaissance gardens of Italy, the collection works with a subtle colour palette of black and creme moss green, woof and sky blue combined with accents of dusted mauve, coral, dark purple and soft rose.

Our favourite outfit of the season has to be without a doubt the Velvet Suit. Also known as the Patricia (Velvet) Wrap blouse, combined with Nebraska (Velvet) Pants. The suit is rather laid back and casual. It is perfect for the days when you don’t feel like being the centre of attention, but more so, mysterious. Due to its simplicity, we recommend layering up on some beautiful Caroline Svedbom Jewellery to go with it.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have something a little jazzier. The Cathrin (V) shirt dress, in the print Poetry Taffe. It can be worn in the evenings, however, also makes for a lovely day dress. Pair it with some knee-high boots and a long brown faux fur coat.

The Patricia NS blouse in Gold Jacquard is the perfect choice for Christmas day. The blouse has a gorgeous shimmer to it and can be easily adjusted. Has balloon sleeves and high cuffs. Gold jewellery is highly recommended, for example, the Kaia Earrings from the AW21 Caroline Svedbom collection.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY SLEEPING GYPSY LINEN GARMENT?

My Sleeping Gypsy chooses linen as the primary fabric for its garments, not only due to the fact that it is sustainable, but also because it is cool, natural and breathable.

My Sleeping Gypsy, uses linen from a flax plant, which is harvested in August, 100 days after sowing. It is an annual plant which means it only lives for one growing season. The plant adapts easily to its environment and uses fewer fertilisers or pesticides to grow. Linen fibers can be processed without the use of chemicals. Conscious linen productions produce Zero waste. The waste that will not go into fabric manufacture, will be put towards other uses, such as linen seed oil.

Linen is rather easy to take care of, since it resists dirt and stains has no lint or pilling tendency, and can be dry-cleaned, machine-washed, or steamed. It is smooth, making the finished fabric lint-free, and gets softer the more it is washed. However, we recommend avoiding the tumble dryer.

Linen is known to wrinkle very easily, which some may consider is part of linen’s particular “charm”. Most people choose to air dry the garment on a good clothes hanger and wear without the necessity of ironing. However, if you wish to iron the garment, it is much easier to do so when damp.

If you own a Vyshyvanka from My Sleeping Gypsy, during your travels when you don’t have access to an iron you can simply put the dress on a hanger and leave it in the bathroom or any humid environment. In the morning the dress will be ready to wear without any need of special care.

OUR TOP 5 AW21 DEA KUDIBAL ITEMS

The days are turning shorter and colder. We turn to our cosy knitted jumpers, and padded coats, to keep us nice and warm. Our wardrobes gradually become filled with darker tones and autumnal colours, ready for the new season.

Today, we explore our favourite top 5 pieces from Dea Kudibal, in order to give you some inspiration.

STACY - TRELLIS BLUE - 15-0721

Our first runner up is the Stacy in Trellis Blue. A blouse with volume sleeves and teardrop opening at the front. The pattern is elegant, and one of which will make you stand out from the crowd. Stacy is the perfect blouse for an evening outfit. We recommend styling it with a trouser suit for a formal classy look or leather trousers if you are feeling more daring. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more casual look, we recommend tucking this shirt into a pair of nice flared Jeans paired with some chunky sunglasses and white trainers.

VERA - LAVENDER - 63-0721

The weather becoming colder only means one thing…. Layers, layers and more layers! Layering is an art form. It gives you the freedom to be able to be creative and completely transform any outfit. Some items are harder to layer than others. However, vests, such as the Vera vest, not only will keep you warm, due to it having been knitted, but is perfect to layer over any type of blouse, dress or long sleeve top.

Working with layers means you have the opportunity to incorporate a variety of different colours and patterns which compliment one another.

CARDI - LAVENDER - 59-0721
For days, where the weather is slightly colder, we exchange our vests for the knit cardigan with balloon sleeves, for that extra warmth. Cardigans are a must in every wardrobe. The buttons on the cardigan, give you more freedom in regards to how you style your outfit. Can experiment with having all the buttons done up, to having just one done up or none at all.

VIOLA DRESS - TRELLIS BLUE - 34-0721

No matter the season, Maxi dresses will always be a must in our wardrobes. During the winter months, we may choose to layer these with long knee-high boots and jumpers. The Viola Long dress has an adjustable drawstring collar. The dress also has cutlines and a lot of ruffles.

NATE - NAVY BLUE 11-0721

To finalize our top 5 items from AW21, we have the Nate Navy blue shirt with high cuffs, standing collar and hidden placket. Nothing says sophistication more than a stretch silk satin shirt like this one.

BRGN Technical Fashion - Menswear

Last week, our team produced a photo shoot for one of our lovely brands - BRGN. The main focus of the shoot was to produce more content for the menswear collection, as this is something which we thought we don’t often see much off.

As the brand gets most of its inspiration through nature, it only makes sense that the shoot had to be produced outside in the wild. As a result, we decided to go somewhere a little bit different, swapping the madness of the city, for somewhere a bit more quiet and picturesque. We chose Southend On Sea, with its beautiful beach and gorgeous green fields.

As you all may well know, BRGN is a brand which focuses mainly on rainwear garments and accessories. We hoped that the weather would match this. However, we couldn’t have done the shoot on a hotter day! Regardless of this, we used the sunlight to our own advantage and portrayed the fact that the coat, is wearable no matter the weather, due to its breathable and adaptable materials.

CAMPOMAGGI - A BAG FOR THE JOURNEY THAT IS LIFE

Throughout our lives, we always seem to be on the hunt for the best new thing. We get a thrill from it. However, in the process of this, we often forget how damaging buying endless products may be to the world. That’s why it is always important to choose quality over quantity.

If there is something I know, is that bags are essential for everyday use. Whether it is to pop down to the shops for some fruit or to go on a walk with friends. It brings comfort and it keeps our minds at ease knowing our things are safely stored within.

From the day that they were created in 1983, Marco Campomaggi has been creating bags that last over time and tell something unique and personal. They do not wear out over the course of a season, but in actual fact, due to the choice of leather, they become more beautiful over the years. They are designed to be passed on down through generations, which as a result creates such powerful emotional bonds not only with the bag but also throughout the family.

The bags are made from 100% Italian natural cowhide leather from food industry residues. Once manufactured, the bags are tanned using natural vegetables. The beauty about using tannins from trees such as Mimosa, Chestnut and Oak, is that each bag will react differently according to their individual features.

These bags were not made to be perfect. They were made to be loved for their irregularities and imperfections, which makes them diverse and beautiful in their own unique ways. A beautiful concept which we should apply to every aspect of our lives.

Campomaggi offers those who purchase a bag, a one year guarantee and even a repair service for their products. Each bag comes with a Cream Kit and details of how to preserve their bags and the uniqueness of the product. The cream, which was also invented by Campomaggi himself, brings softness and shine to the leather, protecting it from external agents.

BE THE LIGHT OF THE PARTY WITH CAROLINE SVEDBOM AW21 PRE COLLECTION - OUT NOW IN STORES

As we enter the colder months and the festive season is ahead of us, we leave behind the floral flowy dresses and turn our focus onto the shimmery glitzy glam wear. As we all know, a good dress is always accompanied by a glistening set of jewellery. Our personal favourite choice of jewellery, Caroline Svedbom.

‘Light of the Party’ is Caroline Svedbom’s AW21 new collection, which can now be found in stores, and we couldn’t be more excited about it! With eye-catching, dazzling handmade accessories, it is a perfect sophisticated complement to any outfit.

Caroline Svedbom has a passion for colour, so it is no surprise, that her AW21 Pre Collection, is full of the most beautiful colours, bringing joy to women of all ages.

Elissa Earing / Rainbow Combo

These stunning beauties feature a unique design with dazzling crystals made of the highest quality.

Antonia Loop

If you are a hoop kind of woman, then the Antonia Loop Earrings are perfect for you! The Antonia Loop comes in two different colourways.

On the left, we have the Pamelo Combo, which combines pastel pales with darker tonal colours. Pair these with a vibrant coloured silk dress, such as pink, or a cashmere jumper, for a more casual look.

On the right, we have a more subtle choice of colour, the Crystal. With its white crystal diamonds, it is perfect for a casual look such as jeans and a nice top, or to combine with a shimmery evening dress and stiletto wrap heels, for a more formal look.

Petite Timo

A smaller version of Caroline Svedbom’s beloved Timo Earrings. These earrings have a playful and luxurious design that finishes off just about every one of our outfits. We call it ”everyday jewellery”.

Petite Timo is available in Crystal, Golden shadow + Silk and Vintage Rose + Light Amethyst.

We are more than ready to go all in extra everything and be the light of the party once again, but the question is, are you?

BRGN - AW21 BEST SELLERS: SHOE EDITION

With AW21 just around the corner, we delve into BRGN’s best sellers of the season. Although the brand is mostly known for its fashionable and functional raincoats, in this AW21 collection, we would like to focus your attention on something a little bit different: The boots.

THE CHELSEA BOOTS

The Chelsea boot in the New Black has been our number one bestseller of the season. It was so popular, we sold out and had to order more stock for reproduction. The Chelsea boots can be ordered for £80 RRP.

The Chelsea boot is handmade out of real leather. It is extremely comfortable, and will protect you from all sorts of terrible weather. They are stylish, meaning you can wear these for a formal event, with a lovely patterned maxi dress; or for a informal occassion with a pair of jeans and an oversized jumper.

It is no surprise to any of us, that earthy colours, such as the Camel and Brown are still going strong for AW21. The ‘Camel’, which has been one of our favourites amongst our customers, is a perfect match for your monochrome nude outfits.

Some other colours which have been popular amongst our AW21 orders are the Lizard Green. We love pairing these with cream and camel colours.

Having a variety of colours to choose from, means you are able to mix and match your boots to different tonal outfits depending on the mood that you are in when you wake up each morning.

LOW CHELSEA BOOT

If high ankled boots are not a bit of you, BRGN also have a low ankle version of the Chelsea boot which is available for £71 RRP. However, the colours become more limited, with only New Black and Camel being ordered and distributed.

HIGH LEATHER BOOTS

The high leather boots are the perfect shoe to transition from Summer into Autumn. Autumn may not necessarily be cold enough for a pair of tights, but may on occasions, be slightly breezier than what we have been used to, over the summer. These knee-high boots will ensure you won’t have to renounce goodbye to your mini skirts just yet, as they will keep you feeling cosy and warm.

VK CASHMERE AW21 LOOKBOOK

Having recently hired our own in house photographer, we headed to Hampstead Heath to shoot some content for one of our brands, VK Cashmere for their AW21 collection lookbook. As sustainability is at the heart of the brand’s identity, we focused on capturing earthy tones and a love and closeness to nature.

BEHIND THE SCENES

WONDER

61-14070.654

If comfort is one of your top priorities when searching for shoes, then Wonder is the perfect shoe for you. One thing I hate for sure, is having cold feet during the winter months or alternatively having to layer up on socks something which is not always ideal. The inner lining on these shoes will come to you as a godsend, as they will ensure that your feet remain warm and cosy with no extra effort involved.

POWER

61-34250.664

Our next favourite shoe of the season, is these knee high boots, which are ideal for the days were the rain makes an appearance. The material is made from Soft Nubuk, and is bound to keep you warm and protected.

VERSO

61-92800.424

Some days we may feel lazy and may choose to stay indoors. The Verso shoe, is a shoe which is easy to wear, as its structure allows for the foot to slip on and off with ease. It is also super stylish and is very popular amongst our customers. The fact that they are sandals, also means you are able to wear them throughout different seasons, not just Autumn and Winter. There is very low stock so make sure to get your hands on a pair of these!!

We all need a little TLC from time to time... and so does your VK Cashmere! Here's how

Delicate, warm and silky, wearing VK Cashmere feels like pure luxury and is. loved by many. But how can we return the same love back?

Cashmere is a type of wool which is extracted from the plush undercoat of the Kashmir goat, which is softer and finer than sheep’s wool. Due to the fact that these goats can only produce 4-6 ounces each year, cashmere has become very expensive and not as accessible.

Cashmere has natural antibacterial properties and may be easier to wash than you may think. However, it is always important to be patient and persevere with the process, in order to keep your Cashmere looking forever new. We tend to recommend you gently wash your cashmere knitwear after having worn it three or four times.

Here’s how to wash your cashmere in just a few simple steps…

1. Hand wash the item in lukewarm water (we recommend 35 degrees). In regards to the detergent, we recommend using a cashmere shampoo. However, if this isn’t something you have access to, then a similar mild detergent will do the job just fine.

2. Squeeze the suds gently through the fabric without rubbing or stretching the garment.

3. Rinse thoroughly in water of the same temperature.

4. Do not lift the garment while it is soaked with excess water, as this can cause the garment to change shape.

5. Once you are done washing the garment, place it gently back into its original shape. Make sure to keep the garment flat on a towel and let it dry naturally. Do not ever tumble dry. In addition, we recommend keeping it far away from any direct heat such as radiators or direct sunlight.

6. Finally, when the garment is dry, use a cool iron to press slightly over the garment.

And just like that, your cashmere will have the TLC it deserves!

INTRODUCING MY SLEEPING GYPSY - A JOURNEY OF IMAGINARY REALISM WHICH CONNECTS THE PAST TO THE PRESENT

My Sleeping Gypsy, encapsulates Ukrainian traditions and heritage, blending these with contemporary practices. Each design can be referred to as a canvas in which both traditional and contemporary artists work together to form a unique vision.

The designs are timeless. Inspired by mythical tales, such as the Vyshyvanka’s dress, in which dresses were passed from mother to daughter with the intention of bringing good luck. The embellishments found on some of the designs also symbolise the protection of the soul and the tree of life or femininity.

My Sleeping Gypsy is made for those with a rebellious spirit of the 70’s and a love for modern bohemian fashion. The garments are cut in such a way which allows each individual to embrace all their beautiful imperfections, and with this enter a journey of self-love. 

Sustainability, biodiversity, and animal welfare are at the heart of this brand. All materials are animal-free materials and are sourced locally, which also helps support small craft communities. Each piece is consciously created, in order to generate a piece of clothing that not only is comfortable but also gentle on the skin. With each piece being custom made, thousands of meters of embroidery have been used and numerous weeks of labour have been endured. 

Linens are the top choice for this brand. Choosing quality and durability over quantity. Linens are also water-efficient in production and natural, which as a result makes the garments breathable for your skin. 

The garments are a reminder to help you change for the better and make mindful choices. Will you be taking the path to self-improvement with us and My Sleeping Gypsy?
