Friendship Love and Truth Vintage Wash Opera Duster (Full Length)

The antiqued tones and muted background colours in this beautiful piece make it so easy to pair with almost any colour in your wardrobe! For a more subdued look, mix it with sage green, khaki, and pastel shades of lilac, aqua, gold, or cream… and to amp things up try pairing it with brighter colours like coral, mustard, turquoise or plum. We especially love this one styled with distressed pieces — think ripped denim, a frayed-edge tank, or anything patchwork — and lots of boho jewelry layered on. The more creative, the better!

Our Muse: The bohemian, the stylist. Women who bring their own artistry and poetry to the way they dress, who inspire others to dress — and live — outside the lines.

In the era before social media and texting, the Victorians were great lovers of using pictures and symbols in their letters, artwork, and communications (kind of like we use emojis today ;)). Symbols like the ones in our FLT Vintage Wash design often appeared on greeting cards, postcards, and jewellery to communicate messages of love. Specific flowers even symbolized different things — for example, a camellia was symbol of longing, and the iris represented faith & hope. Back then, just like today, a picture was worth a throusand words :)

When You Need It

I will tell you something true:

Not all birds sing. The sun

rises behind
the rainbow of your ribcage.
I have squinted
to look at you, some days. 
I have warmed myself 
in that gold light. 

And something else:

Your hands
can drop the stone
and pick up joy. And mine
can hold water long enough
for both of us to drink.

If you forget
your name
I will show you where you left it
buried in the meadow
of your mouth. 

And one more thing:

Sorrow is only 
a word. Let the birds 
broom it away
from the sky with their wings. 

Leave it
in the shadow of the mountain
where the gleam in your eye
lights my way. 

I will walk you home.
