Tree of Life Goddess Duster

Flowing and dramatic, this show-stopping piece is bohemian, romantic and rich. Pair it with a simple white slip dress & belt, or amp-up the drama by mixing it with aqua, lime or all-black. This one will definitely be in our travel bag too — the perfect piece for poolside or beach walks during the day, and dressed up for dinner at night! And don’t forget to layer on the turquoise jewellery :)

The nurturer, the gardener. Women who plant kindness, and tend the world with patience and strength. Women who grow love.

The symbol of the Tree of Life dates back centuries and can be found in nearly every culture — from the Vikings to the ancient Egyptians. It is often depicted as a strong, deeply rooted tree that upholds and nurtures the world and everything in it. Our headquarters here at Market of Stars borders over a hundred acres of forest, and many of our designs and writings are dreamed up while wandering among the tall trees. To help preserve the wild beauty around us, we’re planting one tree for every Tree of Life kimono sold — wherever it’s needed most in North America — through onetreeplanted.org.

Climb up with me, like when
we were young, our knees
and elbows scuffed with wonder,
birdseed and licorice
in our pockets. One summer
we lived in a treehouse
that wasn’t there, just branches
for bedrooms and a secret
knock. My voice sang out
like a doorbell and you answered
Come in and see
 
a feather I found, a robin’s egg shell, a stone
that turns to gold in the sun.
What will you trade me? Our green afternoon
stretching out in all directions,
the little hidden place lined with moss 
where we kept our wounds and wishes.
 
If you can’t climb, then give me
your faded love. I’ll put it in my pocket
knock three times and bring it back
to the branches that held us, bare legs
dangling. I’ll give it
to the robins who once wove nests
with strands of your hair, I’ll show you
how it still turns to gold in the sun. Trade me
a feather, a bright blue egg,
another chance for something new.
