Notice the small things. The rewards are inversely proportional.

Spotted in Miami Beach: real estate wizard in our Anne Shirt in white ‘croco silk’ and our white silk shorts from our upcoming SS23 collection (available in stores from spring 2023). A few words on our ‘croco silk’. We develop our fabrics ourselves, and the croco silk is a great example. In 100% silk, the subtle croco pattern is not a print - it’s vowen jaquard. It took over one year and multiple rejected samples to develop the right look and feel for this fabric. But now, with the final and completely unique fabric, we couldn’t be happier. You can’t see the pattern from a distance. However, up close, it’s easy to see that this is a luxury fabric. Fabric is the soul of the garment, and when matching incredible and unique fabrics with our quite minimalist Nordic designs, the outcome is stylish, understated and stunning. It’s also very CG ( ) and we are proud to create our own niche with a clearly recognizable DNA.

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you’ll miss it, you will land among the stars” 🌙 ⭐️

As a Nordic brand, versatility is part of our DNA. While we create the most beautiful silk dresses, we know that our customers are smart, practical and environmentally concious, and we design pieces that can be worn in multiple ways, be dressed up and dressed down, and transtions from day to night. In the picture, entrepreneur and world-traveler is wearing our black Camilla Dress in 100% silk with a gold lining. The Camilla Dress (from our upcoming SS23 collection) is versatility explained - especially in this black fabric. Wear with sneakers and a jeans jacket for daytime or even office. Wear with sandals for the beach. Wear with one of our knit silk cardigans for simple every-day elegance. And wear with heels and some jewelry- like Sarah - and your dress is an understated yet beautiful evening piece.

Sunset is so marvelous that even the sun itself watches it every day in the reflecoof the infinite oceans…

Sharing some weekend vibes. We don’t see much of the Yilei Dress (to be launched for SS23) that beautiful Chinese actress Lili is wearing, but we still get the feeling and the allure of it. And sometimes that’s enough. Enjoy your weekends, everyone!

True to our Swedish heritage, we’re sharing a photo of something that is incredibly alluring to Scandinavians: outdoor seating. In Sweden, outdoor eating is only possible a couple of weeks every year. But the Swedes know how to enjoy and appreciate those precious occasions, and they truly savour every single second of the rare, warm, white nights of the North. The memories of those evenings warm the Swedes during the dark, cold and long winter months.

We get many questions in regards to why we work in silk. Fabric is the soul of the garment. Silk is one of the most sensual, luxurious and comfortable fabrics in the world. It’s ultra soft against the skin, it warms you in the cold and it breathes in the heat. The way it falls and moves. Our styles are based on Nordic philosophy: we’re minimalist, we’re practical, we have clean lines and perfect cuts. Combine this approach with the most beautiful fabrics in the world, and you get understated luxury that you want to wear every day.

We cannot see our own reflection in running water. Only in still water we can see.

The Kakitsubata is a form of Japanese Iris, whose praise has been sung by Japanese poets for over thousand years. Today, while mainly seen in Japan, they can grow all over the world: one example of where to find them include the gardens of my mother-in-law in the South of France. The past couple of years, I have truly missed traveling. An available world is the ultimate luxury. I look forward to once again being able to find treasures and inspiration everywhere on the planet, and for us to enjoy - may it be the Japanese Irises like in my mother-in-law’s gardens, spices, fashion or art - anywhere we want. Here’s to the world once more becoming connected.

No caption needed. So much we love in one picture!

Our silk suit jacket (from the upcoming SS23 collection) in our own, proprietary ultra soft stretch silk. We always add a little stretch (around 10%) to our silks for the pants and suits. We’ve gotten the question why we don’t do 100% silk for our jackets and pants, “only” 90%, implying that we would go a bit cheap, or not going all the way for luxury. The answer is that adding stretch is a customization, that is much more expensive than getting the off-the-rack 100% silk. We still want to do it as those 10% increases the comfort and mobility of the garment, allowing our always-on-the-move customers to travel and play freely. It’s a lot of extra work (and cost!) from our side to customize the silks (adding stretch, but we do much more!), but we think its worth it: the handfeeling is unbeatable, the silk as a natual fiber is breathing no matter of the temperatures, and our customers testify to living in our pieces, and wanting to wear them every day. They buy it because of the style and the fit, but they end up wearing our pieces a lot because of how comfortable they are. In the picture: gorgeous marketing specialist spotted in wearing our silk suit jacket as a cover-up (or perhaps she’s getting ready for date night and wears it as a dress - we’re not sure, but the versatility of the jacket makes both options plausible!)

There is a link between interior and fashion. Only different ways to express your style and point of vue. We love this one!!

This is Ora, one of the most famous and celebrated actresses and movie stars in China. (China has its own social media eco system, and Instagram is blocked in China, so she’s not on this platform). But you can imagine how thrilled we were when we saw this photo of Ora enjoying her holiday at beautiful hotel wearing her Classic Slipdress from the upcoming SS23 collection. We are a new brand. We don’t have budgets to buy celebrity endorsements. We can only trust that our products are strong enough to speak for themselves, just as in this case with Ora, who wore it only because she loved it. Thank you Ora for supporting an emerging brand, and for having the confidence and courage to make choices outside of the mainstream luxury brands!

Spotted: world citizen and always-traveling Thanh in our Grace Maxi Skirt from the SS23 collection. Thanh is originally Vietnamese, but she grew up in the UK and is currently based in Hong Kong, making the world her playground as she’s constantly jetting off somewhere. When helping me to shoot the upcoming SS23 photos, she testified to how amazing this skirt is for all and any travels: light and flowing, but most important of all when traveling: incredibly versatile. Wear equally well for beach as for fancy dinners as for date nights. (It also doesn’t hurt that the skirt is also very photogenic 😎)

Already dreaming of SS23….

Featured in Harpers Bazaar! When top international media is picking up your brand before it’s even widely available! During the past months, we have been selling a few selected styles in very few selected luxury stores in the US and Europe to gather market feedback and make sure we were 100% ready to introduce the brand widely in September 2022 for Spring Summer 2023. Despite no PR investment (yet), our brand was always best-selling. In addition, sharp-eyed editors picked up our brand and started to highlight it - such as this recent editorial in featuring our Taiwing Dress. Both the in-store sales numbers (very high sell through) and the coverage - all achieved with no marketing budget backing - speaks to the quality and attractiveness of the product, and it makes us very confident to widely intoduce the brand to a global audience, and to - naturally! - start investing in building a globally well known brand. But it has to start with a strong product. Our tests proved that our products - our luxurious, sensual, incredibly well designed silk pieces - are strong enough to compete without PR and marketing to support. The sky is the limit once we get started for real 😎. Thanks for being part of our global journey from the very beginning.

Not widely available until its launched for SS23, but we want to provide a small pre-launch-teaser. This is the Classic Slipdress, and this dress looks good on EVERYONE. Adjustable strings to allow for the perfect fit around the chest (depending on bodyshape, bra, or mood 🤩). We also created it shaped in the sides, to truly emphasize the waist for a feminine silhouette. However - and here, we consider ourselves quite genious 😏- we added a little extra fabric over the belly, to make sure the wearer is feeling relaxed, confident and comfortable in all situations, also when enjoying a good meal and wine🍷. Our brand is all about feeling comfortable. For every piece we design (which by the way takes quite a long time, we’re nothing like fast fashion), it’s not “only” about looking stunning (which is always a MUST and a starting point). It’s also about making the wearer feel relaxed, eliminating reasons to feel self conscious, and allowing us to focus on what’s truly important for a high quality life: spending time with friends & family, creating genuine connections, and never stop being curious about the world 🌎 around us. This dress is a star ⭐️ and will be released in multiple fabrics, all unique and developed by us. In this picture, globetrotting 🌎 ✈️ real estate wizard, business woman and fashion influencer wears the dress by the beach, for a relaxed - yet polished and unique - look. This dress is created with versatility in mind. Wear daily with sneakers and a jeans jacket, or style with metallic heels and a clutch and you are ready for a night out on the town. Versatility is part of our brand DNA, and our Swedish creative director always considers wearability when she creates - probably one of the many reasons that our first customers in our home market testifies that they wear the pieces from our brand more than anything else they have in their closets.

When the tastemakers spot you and start wearing your brand already before your global debut! Magazine editor, fashion consultant, tastemaker and globetrotter, Dubai-based French-Finnish world citizen .chanel was spotted in Ibiza a few weeks ago looking stunning 🤩 as she was wearing our SS23 suit jacket and tall pants in the softest silk you have ever felt. It’s boiling and we can feel it … thanks for being with us as we are about to start our global journey.

Gearing up for our global launch SS23 - follow us to be part of our global journey already from the very beginning! Spotted: beautiful Swedish business owner, world traveler and creative force in the Grace Maxi Skirt - to be released for SS23. This statement skirt is made of almost ten meters of fabric, and is equally suitable by the beach as for party!!

Travelers, not tourists.

Not available until its launched SS23, but we want to provide a little pre-launch-teaser… This dress (the classic slipdress) looks good on everyone. Shaped in the side to emphasize the female body shape, yet we added a little extra fabric over the belly, to allow the wearer to always feel relaxed, confident and comfortable even when enjoying good food and 🍷 wine. We are all about feeling comfortable, and for every piece we design, its not “only” about looking stunning (which obviously is a MUST!), its also about feeling relaxed, avoiding all sorts of self consciousness, to allow us to focus on what’s really important: enjoying a good time with friends & family, and creating genuine connections. That said: doing all of the above in a stunning dress. ❤️ 😊 This STAR ⭐️ dress will be released in quite a few fabrics, all of them created by us and 100% exquisite and unique. As seen on

Not possible to buy yet …. But keep following us for news about when the SS23 collection is available. This is the that’s one of the (many) ⭐️ star pieces in our first international collection. Can’t wait for what’s next. Thanks for being part of our journey from day 1.
