Market of Stars will donate a percentage of profits from every I Dream In Flowers kimono sold to bee conservation and protection in North America.

A riotous, painterly celebration of art and the natural world, this exquisite duster is all at once romantic, ethereal, and so so cool. Inspired by the romance of European flower markets, we created this kimono using a masterful oil painting from the early 1600’s by artist Jan Brueghel, and an ink drawing of bumblebees we found in a Victorian insect encyclopedia. It has the look of a treasured vintage piece that will never go out of style. Dress it up or down — either way, expect compliments!

100% bamboo/wood viscose. Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Kimono measurements: length 116cm, width 78 cm (across back, underarm to underarm). Model is 5’5” for reference.

  • Timeless and ethereal, this painterly piece can be worn so many different ways — from edgy to elegant. Dress it up or down, tie it up or wear it loose and flowing. We love it in the fall with a leather legging or distressed jeans and boots, and in the summer over a jumpsuit or linen pant. Of course, you can also dress this one way, way up — add it to a simple slip dress and a dramatic pair of earrings for a romantic, showstopping evening look. And after the party you can lounge in it too ;)

  • The artisan, the wandering spirit. Women who roam through museums and gardens and untamed places, finding beauty wherever they look. Women who are works of art.

  • Jan Bruegel was a highly influential Flemish artist, perhaps best known for his lavish, colourful, and highly detailed floral paintings. Many of his still-life floral arrangements are combinations of common flowers and very rare ones, and often are composed of flowers that bloom during different seasons. He regularly travelled outside of his home in Antwerp so he could find and sketch unusual flowers for his painted bouquets. The effusive colours and delightful details in his work are rich, celebratory and (we think) pure magic when printed on to our soft bamboo fabric.

  • In the dark, she dreams flowers. Larkspur and lilac, white hawthorn blooming moonlight on the bed. In the cotton and hay her breath shivers with perfume and pollen, a feast for bees. Their soft velvet hum like a blanket. She dreams flowers, white lilies line the path to her heart like lanterns. Her chest is tangled and tender, the prickles of regret the sweet hope of alyssum. Her arms are strong as branches, fists a flourish of blossoms she will not let go.
