Welcoming our newest Maramayart collaboration... the Michelle Next To You Dress 💜

Through “Next to You”, we are reminded that together, we create a beautiful mosaic of life - one where every individual is valued, and every story matters. The intricate designs symbolize the myriad experiences that shape our identities, highlighting the importance of listening and understanding one another.

In embracing the spirit of “Next to You”, we celebrate the profound beauty of connection. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that it is in these relationships that we find our truest selves, fostering a sense of safety and belonging that enriches our journey through life.

Designed in a lightweight rayon fabric, Michelle features a loose bodice, with short wide sleeves & a button up V-neckline. We love the comfy drawstring waist, with a loose lined flared skirt (with pockets!) creating a feminine vintage silhouette and that perfect twirl moment!

Thanks to the ever talented Mara May for this unforgettable design ☀️

Behind the Design

The story, the print and the little magic.

The Michelle Story
The Michelle is where soft and structured meet, and neither one loses. 💃 Rayon flow, generous through the body, a V-neck that just works, short sleeves, midi length that never overthinks it. Button front detail keeps it sharp, fit and flare keeps it fun. Pockets, obviously, because why wouldn't there be. This is the shape that shows up in almost every colourway for a reason. Wear it on repeat.
Next To You
Through "Next to You", we are reminded that together, we create a beautiful mosaic of life - one where every individual is valued, and every story matters. The intricate designs symbolize the myriad experiences that shape our identities, highlighting the importance of listening and understanding one another.

Style It Your Way: Michelle Next To You
Style the Michelle Next To You dress up with strappy sandals and gold hoops for a lunch date, letting the flared skirt and drawstring waist do the talking ☀️ Dress it down with sneakers and a denim jacket for the school run: with pockets built in, you won't need to carry a thing either way.
