A statuesque expression of raw, moving texture. This dramatic trapeze-style maxi is designed to float effortlessly, capturing the essence of the wind-swept Australian landscape. Its unique, marbled grey hue is derived from the berries and bark of the elusive Geebung (Persoonia linearis).

 

The Power of Geebung

The Geebung is a rare and hardy Australian native, known for its resilience. By utilizing its potent botanical compounds, we craft a garment that is as smart as it is sustainable.

 

  • Natural Antibacterial Properties: Geebung has long been valued in traditional indigenous medicine for its powerful antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. These inherent defenses are transferred directly to the fibers, helping the fabric resist microbial growth and remaining fresh against your skin.

  • No Toxic Bioaccumulation: We reject industrial chemistry. This botanical dye is set with natural minerals (mordants), ensuring zero toxic bioaccumulation. It is completely safe for your body, prevents harmful heavy metals from entering your ecosystem, and ensures the garment can return to the earth at the end of its long life.

  • A Living Marbled Finish: The natural "cloud" dye effect is a result of the raw plant sugars interacting with the fiber. Every dress features a distinct, one-of-a-kind pattern—a fingerprint of the Geebung that created it.

 

Design & Silhouette

  • Gathered Neckline: Delicate gathering at the neck creates a beautiful, voluminous drape that flows elegantly over the body.
  • Side-Wing Detail: Unique architectural "wings" at the sides add movement and a contemporary edge to the classic trapeze silhouette.
  • Spaghetti Straps: Fine, adjustable straps provide a minimalist feel, perfect for layering or wearing alone in the summer heat.
  • Ethereal Volume: The oversized fit ensures maximum breathability and comfort, offering a statuesque look that feels weightless.

 

Materials : 100% linen 

 

Care for Your Living Garment

This dress is treated with raw botanical pigments. To preserve its antibacterial properties and unique Geebung grey tones:

  • Hand wash sparingly in cool water using a gentle, pH-neutral, plant-based soap.

  • Dry in the shade to prevent sun-bleaching.

  • Avoid contact with acidic substances (like vinegar or lemon juice), which can cause the botanical colors to naturally shift.

 

​​​​​​​Embrace the change: over years of wear, the plant dyes may subtly shift, telling the story of the garment’s life.

 

Rooted in medicine. Sculpted by the wind.
