Behind the Design

The story, the print and the little magic.

The Marley Cotton Story The Style Story
Marley Cotton is the breathable cousin of a fan favourite. 🌿 Same generous fit, same plain V-neck, same loose short sleeves and midi length that works everywhere, just done in soft, natural cotton instead of the usual. Button front, pockets included, proof that comfort doesn't have to be boring. Cool against the skin, easy to wear, and just as ready for a hot day as a cooler one. Morning to night, no complaints.
Paper Posies The Print Story
Paper Posies looks exactly like its name, soft, papery petals scattered loosely instead of clumped into a bouquet. Kim at Zonkt® designed it, and it shows up on the Marley in a vintage, drawstring-waisted shape and on the Aurelia in a looser babydoll silhouette with a lace-trimmed tiered skirt. Both hide pockets in the seams, because a floral this pretty still needs somewhere to put your phone.
Style It Your Way: Marley Cotton Paper Posies Style It Your Way
Dress the Marley Cotton up with strappy sandals and delicate jewellery for a garden party, or wear it down with flats for errands. The button front makes it genuinely Bump Friendly and Nursing Friendly. 🌸 Pockets are there when you need them.
