“Glittery Rose” Wrap-around mini-kimono

A "mini kimono" wrap-over top in pink jersey and silver lurex with vintage cotton borders printed "The village in the clouds".

It was by composing this range of fabrics in soft colors that we were inspired to create this unique piece . And before having the honor of reworking these beautiful fabrics in our studio, Julie, the designer spent years collecting and studying the fabrics and the stories they tell. This deep interest in combining textiles of all kinds is at the heart of her creative process.

The cartoon patterned cotton that was used for the waistband, cuffs and neckline comes from a vintage children's bed sheet. The lining of these different elements comes from a printed curtain from the 80s.

The sequined jersey knit gives this wrap-over a rather supple drape , while the wide borders that frame it give it a certain hold and a more structured appearance. The edges of the cuffs are perfectly finished and can therefore be rolled up, revealing the floral patterns inside.

This crossover can be worn in three different ways:

1. crossed tightly under the bust and tied above the waist
2. crossed leaving the neckline more indented and tied a little lower
3. the sections of the belt tied at the front like a vest to wear over a long dress for example.

Made with great care and finesse, this unique piece, entirely handmade, required six hours of cutting and sewing.
