Heidi visits a New Bistro


World traveller and connoisseur of food, wine, abstract art and Latin sambas, Heidi savors the finer things in life. She has a cosmopolitan flair that’s all her own. When it comes to style, she loves putting colors and prints together, and enjoys wearing things that are unusual and artistic. She also tends to choose garments that are versatile and flattering because they suit her spontaneous, yet curated lifestyle.


When it comes to food, she loves a good bistro. The decor, the vibe and the food just bring her to life. Tonight she is meeting some friends at a new bistro in a trendy hotel downtown.


The murmur of voices gets suddenly louder as she opens the door and is engulfed in the intoxicating mix of aromas, sights and sounds of the bustling bistro. A burst of laughter. The pop of a cork. The subtle beats of the background music. The aroma of food being seared over an open fire.


As she gracefully makes her way to her table, her kimono movies with her, creating a fluid vision in slow motion. It is a moment to savor; an indulgence in luxury. She has never felt so at ease; so comfortable in her own skin; so fully herself.. This is her time; her moment to shine.


Inspired by Heidi's love for luxurious and colorful statement pieces, we created our Heidi kimono from a vibrant combination of repurposed fabrics, trimmed with new. Fully lined, it hits just above the knee, while generous side splits and patch pockets add to its elegant ease. Wear it with or without the belt. You’ll love it’s sleek lining — so comfortable and easy to slip into. We think you’ll find yourself wearing it whenever you want to feel at your best.

Roxanne goes to the Piano Bar -


Roxanne never met a piano bar she didn’t like. Pluck some strings, tickle those keys, brush those snares and croon a sultry standard, and she’s in her element. Part sassy, part demure, she loves the intoxicating rhythms and simmering romance of it all. It all just makes her feel more alive.


We created the Roxanne kimono for the woman with fabulous style and instinctive panache; the woman who knows who she is, and is not afraid to just be herself — wherever her style takes her.


Inspired by Roxanne, this one-of-a-kind kimono also makes a bold statement. Handmade entirely from repurposed fabrics, it is fully lined, and has deep side slits and roomy patch pockets that create a luxurious wearing experience.



Pair it with your favorite separates. Dress it up or down -- with, or without the coordinating belt. throw it in your overnight bag the next time you need to get away. It's great for morning coffee, lounging at the pool, and for romantic dinners -- and, especially, piano bars.


We guarantee, sparks will fly. Roxanne would approve.

Style that Takes you Places -- Episode 1



Zelda Goes to the Symphony




Meet Zelda. Tonight she's going to the symphony. It's the one place that she can hide from all of her fans. She just kind of fades into the woodwork, which isn't normally an easy thing for her to do. She loves the juxtaposition of old and new, and the wonderful textures and patterns in the architectural details. The venue has undergone a few upgrades in recent years, which have only made it more interesting and beautiful.



It is the spirit of artistic reinvention that we created our Zelda kimono. A juxtaposition of graffiti street art and centuries-old mosaics and architectural details, it is an intoxicating mash-up of old and new.

Designed to incorporate a curated mix of repurposed fabrics, Zelda is fully lined, and has pockets and side slits, making it so easy to wear. Meticulously made -- it is a timeless statement piece that will elevate your style for years to come.


Style that Takes You Places #1

This is the first in a series of cameos of some of our favorite kimonos, placing them in different settings and enjoying the effect. Places can certainly inspire style. We think that style can take you places. Places you've never been. Places in life. Places waiting just for you.
