Vintage slip dresses: “L’été en fleur”

Our new collection of vintage slip dresses, “L’été en fleur,” is an ode to color. They are romantic, delicate, and flowing dresses for experiencing a summer in full color.

We have dyed our white clothes with an ancestral process using elements from nature such as roots, bark, flowers, seeds and fruits.

We obtain garments suitable for the most sensitive skin, taking another step on the path towards sustainability .

Not only do these precious vintage pieces come back to life, but so do the natural pigments that dye them: flowers, hibiscus and roses, used for botanical prints, and fruits such as avocados or petals, which would otherwise have been discarded by florists.

The dyeing and printing was done by the artist María Infiesta of the firm Camale on , who used “the knotting technique” (bundle dyeing) or botanical transfer (eco-print).

“The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting

Andy Warhol, the master of color.

The wait to see the results of the hair dye has been therapeutic. The dye produces unexpected, subtle, and high-quality colors, in a truly rewarding act of anticipation.

The names of the collection’s colors are evocative: saffron yellow, a soft yellow somewhere between straw and rising sun, vibrant purples, dusty rose, ash gray. Some of the dresses with eco-print patterns are striking.

The result after dyeing or transferring is a magical moment of “revelation”.

The collection consists of lightweight cotton garments with lace and embroidery: Bralettes, skirts, corsets, two-piece sets in a single tone, and dresses.

These are unique and unrepeatable pieces, as each one is different thanks to the transfer technique. We also offer linen tunics that we personalize with hand-painted monograms.

All garments are unique pieces and are available online or in the Barcelona store .
