Ultramarine. As we started to build palettes for our Spring deliveries, we were really inspired by a photo we found of a rich, deep blue hank of yarn… Which made us start thinking about dyes and pigments and how beautiful they are in their raw state.
Taken from the sun-kissed isle of Capri, this crop pant transformed classic elegance of the 50’s and 60’s, as Hollywood icons Grace Kelley and Mary Tyler Moore stylishly balanced their unique flair with everyday comfort. Delicate, yet daring. Boldly feminine. The patterned crop pant is back.
The Forget-Me-Not lends its delicate color to this light, summery top. Today the flower symbolizes friendship and remembrance, but centuries ago it was the favorite flower at the court of King Henry IV of England. The Forget-Me-Not is well known for its gentle blue color, a hue that is sure to make your look unforgettable.
