Inspiration:

The Frances top takes its inspiration from Grace Kelly's style in the Hitchcock film, To Catch a Thief. Her character is refined and elegant, but no-nonsense just like her wardrobe — a spirit we tried to capture. This iconic style is from one of the most famous scenes where she's driving through the French Riviera with Cary Grant.

Why we love it:
  • Princess seams are rarely used in clothing today other than bridal because they are more complicated to fit and take additional time to sew, but they provide a more flattering fit because of how they skim a body's curves.
  • We love ensembles because they give you the ease of a dress, but are far more versatile since the top can be paired with jeans, slacks, or other skirts.
  • This item is part of the Senza Tempo Capsule Collection made from our signature Italian virgin wool twill, which is comfortable and travel-friendly. A quick steam or crease release spray is all it needs for a quick refresh. We are always adding to this collection of wardrobe essentials so that women can easily create their own capsule wardrobe.
Fit notes and construction details:
  • The Frances is a sleek sleeveless top with a delicate scallop detail at the hem and keyhole opening in the back.
  • The princess seams are tailored to follow your shape and give a long slim line especially when paired with the coordinating Sophia or Ali skirts.
  • Outer fabric is 94% Italian virgin wool, 4% polyamide, 2% elastane made in Italy. Lining is 100% silk.
  • It is cut to skim the body, so please mind your bust and waist measurements when you consult our size guide. We do not do vanity sizing, therefore one might feel we run small. Please size up if your waist or bust is on the border of sizes.
  • Made in Los Angeles

Styling ideas:
  • The Frances pairs with our Sophia skirt to create an ensemble for days when you don't feel like wearing a suit. It gives you the ease of a dress, but the flexibility of separates.
  • The top is long enough to comfortably wear with jeans for after-work hour outings.
  • We also love it paired with our Diana Cocktail for special occasions with your sparkliest shoes.

Inspiration:

Mad Men is one of the founder's favorite shows. Some of the most iconic scenes of Betty Draper in a housecoat. We wanted to make a more versatile housecoat more like the 1920s beach pajamas women wore in stylish resort towns. The founder wears hers to protect herself from the sun when walking her dogs in sunny Charleston, SC. and as a swimsuit coverup.

Why we love it:
  • The Betty is made from crisp cotton that gives the style structure so you don't look like you are wearing a bathrobe in public.
  • The kimono-style duster cardigan makes the coat feel easy and airy, perfect for sunny days or slightly cool nights.
Fit notes and construction details:
  • Kimono-style housecoat with three-quarter length bell sleeve, unlined.
  • The kimono sleeve is loose, but if you are on the border of sizes or if you want a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up. We do not do vanity sizing, therefore one might feel we run small.
  • 100% organic cotton made in India.

  • **Note: Final sale items can only be exchanged or returned for store credit.**
Styling ideas:
  • We like to pair this housecoat with our Maria housedress for days when you want to wear something comfortable, with a little bit of polish.
  • The structure and fabric make this style extremely versatile, it can be worn as a beach coverup, an outer layer when you are on your way to the gym, or a lightweight duster cardigan for weekend errands.
What is deadstock fabric?
  • Deadstock is leftover fabric ordered by brands that overestimated their needs.
  • We use several local suppliers in Los Angeles who carry overstock fabric. This strategy prevents us from creating additional waste in the form of excess fabric.
  • It helps lower our carbon footprint as these suppliers are within walking distance of our atelier.
  • It also means this style cannot be re-stocked in this particular color and fabric once the supply we purchased runs out.
