Close-cut, charged, impossible to ignore. With a concealed back neck zipper and sleeves that transform at will, from restrained to winged, it turns movement into theatre. A dress that lingers like a dark echo, built for parties, gigs, and every room where moments feel alive.

Colour: Anthracite Black, a cool, inky depth that shifts subtly with movement

Limited production crafted in Istanbul, Türkiye

Chosen fabrics

Crafted from 100% lyocell, the outer has a quiet strength, fluid, weighty and silk-soft against the skin. This fibre is born from wood pulp, spun with care, and known for its graceful drape and breathability. It feels alive, responding to movement with a natural flow.

Our buttons are carved from corozo, a nut known as ‘vegetable ivory’. Smooth to the touch, each one is unique, carrying subtle markings from nature itself. Hardwearing, but never harsh. A refined nod to craftsmanship, far removed from plastic imitations.

Inside, 100% pure cotton lining rests against the body, breathable, grounding, uncompromising in comfort. Natural fibres through and through, chosen not just for how they feel, but for the integrity they carry.

Every layer tells the same story: premium fabrics, thoughtfully chosen, designed to endure.

Product care

Treat this piece with the same quiet intention it was crafted with. Wash cool, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Let it dry naturally in the shade, never in a tumble dryer. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and the harshness of dry cleaning. If pressing is needed, use a warm iron on the reverse.

Handle with care: the natural fibres we choose deserve gentleness. Keep away from rough surfaces to protect against pilling or snags. With the right care, it will hold its shape, mood, and meaning for seasons to come.

Istanbul studio

In the centre of Istanbul, a small studio carries decades of skill and experience. It’s where precision, patience, and detail define every step. The team works on a small scale, focused on quality and refinement over volume.

Each piece is cut, sewn, and finished by hand. You can see traces of that process — the chalk marks, the placement of buttons, the clean edge of a hand-pressed seam. Nothing is hidden, nothing is rushed.

This is where craftsmanship still matters. Every garment passes through skilled hands, shaped with purpose and intent, built to endure.
