THOUGHTFUL LUXURY
Rather than mass-producing large quantities, we make our garments in small batches here in New Zealand. This allows us to focus on quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, ensuring every piece is made to the standard our customers expect.
Size guide
Silk Camisoles & Silk Slips
If you plan to wear your silk camisole or slip as a layering piece or outerwear during the day, measure while wearing the bra you would normally wear with it. This will provide the most accurate fit.
For the best fit, stand naturally with your feet about hip-width apart. Use a soft measuring tape and avoid pulling it too tightly—it should sit comfortably against your body.
