Let The Light In Pixie Duster (Cropped Length)

$129.00

Inspired by poet Leonard Cohen’s famous quote “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in”, this design celebrates the ways our experiences shape us, and the perfect beauty of imperfection. Created using several pieces of Delft tile from the 1700’s — including two elaborate Italianate landscape scenes — we chose to leave in the cracks and slight imperfections from the original ceramic in our final print. Just as there is so much beauty in the patina, there is so much to embrace about the challenges we’ve overcome that make us who we are! The two patterns found in the trim come from an 1867 British book on classical ornamentation, and an earthenware plaque from the Netherlands painted in 1780. The ginger jar on the sleeve is a 1700’s French watercolour painting.

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 58cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’5” for reference.

How To Wear

+

Elegant, timeless, and painterly — this charming piece is guaranteed to add some romance to any outfit! For a breezy, effortless look, pair it with linen trousers and a soft cotton tank, and finish with comfy espadrilles and a crossbody bag for a coastal, vacation-ready vibe. If you’re in the mood for some drama and flair, drape it over a fitted bodysuit and high-waisted skirt, and add stacked beaded jewelry and platform sandals for a bohemian twist. For an easy, everyday vibe, pair it your favourite jeans (cuffed for a relaxed touch), a crop tank, and canvas sneakers — perfect for strolling through a seaside town or sipping lemonade on a lazy afternoon :)

The open-hearted, the unbreakable. Women who transform life’s fractures into spaces for light and love, who find beauty in their own mended pieces. Women who let the light in.

More Inspo

One of our favourite things about this beautiful print is that it’s quietly rebellious — a celebration of cracks, flaws, and all the stories they tell. Instead of digitally "fixing" the broken bits of the 1700’s Delft tiles we used, we kept them — because isn’t that where the magic is?
Delftware, with its iconic blue-and-white motifs, was the European answer to the craze for Chinese porcelain in the 17th and 18th centuries — and over time, those hand-painted tiles developed their own unique charm, often featuring little scenes from everyday life. If you look closely, you’ll see hairline fractures running through the sweeping landscapes, like rivers of light. And that beautiful ginger jar on the sleeve? She’s a time traveler, borrowed from an 18th-century French watercolour. Even the trim is a patchwork of historical treasures, stitched together from classical patterns and Dutch ceramics. All of these elements come together to illustrate that beauty doesn't come from perfection — it comes from the stories we carry, and the moments that have shaped us.
