Courage Dear Heart Pixie Duster (Cropped Length)
Love, faith, and courage — we designed this piece as a reminder to keep all three close when the road feels long! This beautiful, dramatic print was created using archival artwork from the 1800’s — including floral wreaths & fountains from Victorian lithographs, and an 1878 hand-coloured Sacred Heart illustration. The words “Love is an arrow, aim true”, and “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”, are hidden in the design as little talismans of strength. The words “courage, dear heart”, repeated on the trim, were inspired by a quote from C.S. Lewis — the author of the Narnia Chronicles. The result is a dramatic and rich print that we hope will encourage you to give yourself grace, celebrate your tenacious spirit, and always, always take heart.
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.
Approximate measurements: length 60cm, width (across back, underarm to underarm) 74cm. Model is 5’7” for reference.

“The best way out is always through.”

“But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled it had whispered to her, "Courage, dear heart," and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan’s.”

The rich colours in this super-cool piece are so much fun to style! It works beautifully with warm merlots and mustards but also plays well with tones like sage and olive green. We love it paired with a long skirt and boots for a vintage romantic look or worn with the matching pants for a more artsy vibe. And don’t forget denim! This piece looks effortlessly cool with jeans, a velvet tank and lots of jewellery — or top it off with the matching scarf for an instantly chic look :)

The steadfast, the brave-hearted. Women with bold and tenacious spirits who never give up on themselves or the ones they love. Women who find a way.

This is usually the space where we explore the art and artists behind our designs. But this time, I’d like to use this paragraph as a little message to you! If you’re reading this, and if you’re struggling, remember that no feeling is permanent and every situation — however hard — is temporary. You are stronger and braver than you know, and one day soon the clouds will break and sun will warm your beautiful face. Be brave, Dear Heart.

Do not forget the lion
in your belly. Asleep
these years, the warm
patient creature of hope
who stretches to the light,
even on a night
without stars. Did you forget
she has teeth? Wake her.
