The Story Dress 5/27 marketcoatDescription Can you imagine the quiet breath that inhaled and exhaled with the pull of every handheld stitch? The gentle rhythm of the heartbeat inside the chest that cradled each tiny fragment of fabric, once part of an old worn out suit or work shirt, and the thoughts, and peace, that made their way through the mind and soul as the patchwork came together night after night and day after day? Our Story Dress and its magnificent maximalist silhouette

each piece is made from charming found and salvaged textiles cut and sewn with the balloon sleeve drama of our dreams and an organic braided elastic neckline that can be worn on or off the shoulder

Machine wash cold

our East Village Painter’s Blouse with its large sailor-inspired collar of vibrant post-war tablecloths takes us to the bohemian enclaves of old New York where hand-stretched canvases and ceramic jugs of paint soaked brushes lined the floors and shelves
