Reverie Belted Jacket
Meet Reverie — our romantic ode to the magic of “the muse”, and to the sheer delight of inspiration! Featuring cool blues and greens punctuated by painterly splashes of warm coral and ochre, this ethereal piece was created using portraits of three of the Greek Muses painted by French artist Charles Meynier in the 1700’s:
Calliope (left front) — muse of poetry and music
Urania (right front) — muse of astronomy and the stars
Clio (back) — muse of memory
To finish this dramatic piece, we trimmed the placket, sleeves, and removeable belt in lush floral artwork by master Jan Van Huysum, painted in 1723.
100% bamboo/wood viscose. Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.
Kimono measurements: length 78cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’6” for reference.

was only waiting for you to notice it.”

The revery alone will do, if bees are few.”

The rich mix of cool blues & greens with warm corals & golds in this painterly print make it a seasonless, easy piece to mix with items in your existing wardrobe! Keep it casual with dark wash jeans and linen trousers, or elevate it with floaty dresses and long tiered skirts. We’ll also be wearing this one tied over basic leggings with a pair of leather ballet flats— romantic, but so simple and comfy at the same time.

The creative, the daydreamer. Women who find inspiration all around them, who hear music in the air and see stories in the stars. Women who listen when the wind whispers.

In ancient Greek mythology, the muses were considered to be the divine sources of inspiration for art, literature and music. They gifted painters, musicians, and writers with flashes of creativity and sparks of insight, inspiring them in their artistic journeys.
Calliope, meaning “beautifully-voiced” was considered to be the “Chief of all Muses”, and was Homer’s muse for the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Clio, meaning “to recount” or “to celebrate”, was the muse of history and memory — and often appears with a book and tablet, recording the artist’s memories and accomplishments.
Urania, meaning “heavenly”, was the celestial muse of astronomy and the stars, but she was also frequently associated with universal love.

Gift
Should the muses gift you another boat, then steer it. Let your old shipwrecks rest, let them rest. Watch the undertow carry your iron tune of grief down to the deaf mud floor. Today is a good dream, a sounding of splendour. Sun on the proud peak of the waves and the bright prow of your collarbone. Hear the overture of your voice announcing itself as it crests and wheels to the clouds: The sea is deep. I will not drown.
