Heart of Gold Goddess Duster

$139.00

Introducing Heart of Gold — our beautiful & dramatic new collection that celebrates the bonds in our lives that endure — love, truth, and loyal friends! Designed using an intricate collage of antique artwork, it features hand-painted swallows from an 1865 scrapbook, floral wreaths by artist Karel Batist done in the 1600s, and a very special sacred heart from Notre Dame in France, which was embroidered with gilded thread and completed in 1872. This print is rich in history, but also in meaning.  The two swallows with wings outstretched (traditional symbols of loyalty) carry a ribbon between them as a reminder that even across distances, those we love will always be a part of us. The vintage banner, pulled from a Victorian-era painted sign, proudly displays the motto “friendship, love, and truth”: a simple but significant declaration of what truly matters — the threads that tie us to each other, the loyalty that stands the test of time, and the love that makes it all worth it.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Kimono measurements: length 92cm, width 110cm. Model is 5’9” for reference.

How To Wear

+

This beautiful, dramatic duster brings an effortless sense of movement to any look! The flowy silhouette and drape make it a natural match for wide-leg pants, lace-trimmed slips, or long tiered skirts. Add a soft tank, layered gold necklaces, and a pair of well-loved boots for a look that feels both grounded and ethereal. The rich palette — parchment, deep coral, gold, and inky black — makes it easy to dress up or down. Try it belted over a maxi dress for a touch of vintage romance, or layer it over a simple tank & leggings with a black scarf for something more modern and easygoing. It also looks beautiful worn open over lace slips & loungewear, for slow mornings or golden afternoons spent dreaming. Let it drape around you like a favourite memory — soft, meaningful, and meant to last.

Swallows have long carried meaning across cultures, but they hold a particularly tender place in maritime lore. In the early 1900s, sailors would often tattoo a single swallow on their shoulder before setting off to sea — a quiet promise to themselves that they would one day return. Upon arriving home safely, they’d add a second swallow, facing the first — a symbol of a completed journey and a heart that found its way back.

Because swallows always return to the same place to nest, they became emblems of loyalty, safe passage, and homecoming. To wear a swallow was to carry a token of hope: that no matter how far you roam, the ones you love will be waiting, and love will always lead you home.

In our Heart of Gold design, two swallows fly toward each other with wings outstretched, joined by a ribbon — a delicate reminder that the ties that bind us are not easily broken. Across time, across distance, across every voyage of the heart — love, truth, and friendship endure.
