Michelle Totem Dress 👗☀️

Celebrate culture and artistry with this stunning Maramayart Totem print exclusively designed by the ever talented Mara May.

Mara May explains that - "In 'Totem' I explore the profound spiritual connection between our people, the land, and the animals that guide us. This artwork serves as a vibrant testament to the role of totems in defining our kinship and social structures within Aboriginal communities. Each totem represents a natural object, plant, or animal linked to a person’s ancestral lineage, carrying deep spiritual significance and serving as a living link to our ancestors and The Dreaming. The totems depicted in the painting reflect the responsibilities we hold, fostering stewardship for the natural world and upholding the values of our community."

Behind the Design

The story, the print and the little magic.

The Michelle Story The Style 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.
