Scarlet Palm — Long Kaftan

from $185.00

Cobalt fan palms, white orchids and gilt bamboo, blazing against pure scarlet. Red ground is the most difficult thing to get right in a botanical print and this one solves it by going colder rather than warmer with everything on top — blue, white and gold against the red rather than orange and pink. Striking, confident and completely unmissable.

Long Kaftan — Cut full and fluid to just above the ankle — a maxi-length dress, with deep kimono sleeves and an unstructured line that skims rather than clings. Over a swimsuit at noon; with a heel and a gold cuff after dark.

Mini — Falls to mid-thigh — a dress in its own right, with soft kimono sleeves and a relaxed, unstructured line. Wear it alone, belted or loose, or layer it over trousers, denim, or a slip skirt for a longer look.

Top — The shortest of the three, hitting at the top of the thigh, just below the waist, with a wide boat neck and fluid kimono sleeves. Sharpest over something high-waisted — wide-leg trousers, a column skirt, good denim.

Printed on mulberry silk. One size, generously cut. Cool hand wash or dry clean.
