Revel in the warmth of Fleur de Soleil, our ode to the golden hours when the sun lingers and the world slows to a dreamy hush. This print was born from an archive of antique beauty: 1891 watercolour and graphite studies of magnolia blossoms originally drawn for Tiffany & Co., Victorian lithographs of ripe peaches glowing like tiny suns, and a whimsical 1830 sketch of an imagined fountain and garden pavilion where one might spend an endless afternoon. Moths and butterflies flit along its edges, borrowed from early 19th-century insect encyclopedias, their delicate wings a whisper of transformation and flight. Rendered in soft washes of peach, coral, sage, and sun-warmed tan, Fleur de Soleil feels like the memory of a perfect day. It carries the charm of a secret garden, the sweetness of fruit warmed by the sun, and the serene beauty of a place where time is measured only by the drifting of butterflies and the clinking of glasses filled with sweet tea.

The adjustable straps, oversized cut, and soft, flowy bamboo viscose make our Bohéme dresses a wardrobe staple for layering, running errands, dancing, lounging or napping — and they’re also a must-have for travel, wherever you roam. You can also wear this piece two ways, with the different moths & florals on either side — depending on your mood.

Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend layering it with our Étoile slip (or any other slip you have) when wearing it with bare legs. Our model in the photos is wearing the dress without a slip.

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.

Adjustable straps. Dress measurements: S/M — length 132cm at shortest strap adjustment, 142cm at longest. Width 52cm (across bust, underarm to underarm), 54cm (across waist seam). L/XL — 134 cm length at shortest strap adjustment, 144cm at longest. Width 57cm (across bust, underarm to underarm), 59 cm (across waist seam).

How To Wear

+

This dress feels like stepping into a garden at golden hour — unhurried and luminous, with a dreamy palette that pairs beautifully with so many colours. On warm days, we'll be wearing ours with bare legs, sandals, and a long gold necklace — airy, effortless, and entirely at home in the sunshine! For a chic, layered look, try it with a linen jacket or cropped sweater, ankle boots, and a leather tote — the peach and coral tones will warm up even the simplest pieces. And for evenings with a little romance, layer it under the matching Opera or Pixie Duster, and add ballet flats and delicate jewelry — a look as soft and glowing as the last light of a perfect summer day :)

The magnolias at the heart of Fleur de Soleil are drawn from a series of delicate botanical watercolours created in the late 19th century — a time when artists and designers were deeply inspired by the natural world. These kinds of studies were often used as references for decorative objects like ceramics & glassware, or fabric and jewelry designs. They captured flowers in exquisite detail, from the soft gradation of petals to the play of light across each bloom. Some of these particular works were created for Tiffany & Co. in 1891, as part of their design archive.

Magnolias have long been associated with beauty, perseverance, and grace. As one of the oldest flowering plants on earth, they are often seen as symbols of endurance and strength — blooming even after long seasons of rest.

In the decorative arts of this period, florals were rarely just ornamental. They carried meaning, mood, and story, reflecting a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the fleeting beauty of the natural world. With Fleur de Soleil, we were drawn to that sense of warmth and luminosity — petals caught in golden light, and the feeling of a garden at its most radiant.
