I pulled this for my Gold Dust Festival collection because it feels like the kind of piece a woman keeps — not rotates. The kind of thing you throw over denim and it instantly looks intentional.
•Size S (works on XS–M depending on desired drape)
•100% cotton with fully hand-stitched embroidery.
•Natural patina throughout — that subtle sun-fade that makes it feel collected, not secondhand
•Made in India — likely 90s import era before mass-replication
If I were keeping three pieces from this collection for myself, this would be one of them. I’d style it with broken-in denim shorts, a fitted tank, stacked cuffs, and matte mule heels — more Jane Birkin / Sofia Coppola than “boho girl.”
