Honey & The Moon Opera Duster (Full Length)

$148.00

Honey & The Moon is our love letter to home — to the spaces we’ve built with our own hands here at Market of Stars, and the quiet magic that lives in the details. Inspired by the black-and-antique ivory palette of our little studio and house (styled after a New England church and a century-old general store), this romantic floral design draws from a tangle of 19th-century lithographs — a garden dreamt up in ink. Scattered with golden bees borrowed from an embossed Victorian book cover, it’s both grounded and celestial: a pattern that feels like moonlight through old glass, or vines climbing weathered wood.

A first for us in its totally neutral palette of honeyed ivory and black, Honey & The Moon is a departure in tone, but not in spirit. Rooted in the hush and harmony of overgrown gardens and blooming with old-world charm, it invites you to slip into the romance of another time — where beauty was built into the bones of things, and every corner held a story waiting to be found.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). 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.

“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”
- Oscar Wilde

“The moon, like a flower in heaven’s high bower,
With silent delight 
sits and smiles on the night.”
- William Blake

“Where thou art, there is home.” 
- Emily Dickinson

How To Wear

+

Our Honey & The Moon Opera Duster is the kind of neutral you’ll reach for again and again — romantic, timeless, and made to slip seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. For everyday ease, wear it open over cropped jeans and a black or ivory tank, finished with woven sneakers or ankle boots and a vintage leather bag — perfect for quiet afternoons, book in hand. When the mood turns romantic, we love it layered over a flowing maxi dress in soft gold or black, with hoop earrings and sandals for an effortlessly elegant, old-world feel. And for golden-hour evenings, try it over the matching Bohéme Slip Dress with delicate jewelry and an easy slide — airy, feminine, and glowing softly under the moon.

Our Muse

The old soul, the romantic. Women who tend wild gardens and light candles in old windows, who listen for the stories tucked into timeworn corners. Women who live where memory and magic meet.

More Inspo

In the 1800s, botanical etchings were more than scientific records — they were quiet odes to the natural world. Each print was created using a laborious process: artists drew directly onto lithographic stones, then the image was pressed in black ink and often hand-painted with delicate watercolours. Many of the artists were women whose names are lost to history, though their beautiful work still blooms across the page.

During the same era, the language of flowers — floriography — became a wildly popular way of sending coded messages to loved ones using hidden meanings. Roses spoke of love and longing; carnations, admiration; tulips, affection and grace. Poppies were tied to rest and remembrance, while passionflowers carried echoes of devotion. 

The floral fragments in Honey & The Moon were carefully collected from these 19th-century lithographs, then layered into a dreamscape of black and ivory to create an old world garden of meanings… reimagined for those who still speak its language.
