Secret Garden Artist Pant

The beautiful palette of these pants make them so easy to pair with any colour — from earthy sage greens and rusts to basics like oatmeal and black. We’ll also be travelling and adventuring in these! From the airport, to exploring and shopping, then lounging by the pool and ending with a fun dinner! We love these pants worn with the matching kimonos (crop or opera) and they’re also super versatile just on their own. We’ll be styling ours with a linen top or crochet sweater, sandals and some tassel earrings. Boho-chic perfection!

The daydreamer, the bohemian. Women who tend their lives with curiosity and wonder, who cultivate beauty and imagination. Women who carry gardens inside them.

The art form of Victorian collage — which we used to create this enchanting design — is a testament to the whimsical creativity of the 19th century. This delightful pastime, especially popular among Victorian women, involved cutting and pasting a kaleidoscope of images from magazines, books, and personal photos into marvellous new compositions. Everyday pictures were transformed into fanciful scenes filled with flowers and romantic landscapes, and the artists would often add their own hand-drawn touches to the images to make them even more colourful and playful. Victorian collages weren’t just pretty pictures though! They were a creative outlet for the women who made them, and an important form of storytelling — capturing the era’s fascination with nature, family, and love :)

Though I try, 
the whole garden of you
will not fit inside my eye.
Fineness of lilies, 
alyssum and weedy yarrow, wild 
meadowsweet. The fruits
of your labours, impossible  
persimmons grafted
to an apple tree. And the secret
fallow places you hide,
where orphan seeds 
wait patiently, for rain. 

I still wander the tireless
seasons of you, where even
the silence between us 
fills with flowers. Sometimes
I glimpse the greenhouse on the hill
if I am lucky — its trusses and purlin
ribs, your humming heart of bees,
that tended place 
where I meet myself,
and am welcomed.
