Tankwa Set in Tequila Sunrise

The Tankwa Set is designed to be simple, confident and versatile. The fabric speaks for itself. Vibrant and glistening – it gives life to the simple cut of the set. Worn together, the top and pleated skirt are elegant or fun, depending on how they are styled. Worn separately, the pieces allow for many bold and beautiful standout possibilities. This is a piece that invites you to make it your own.

Tankwa Dress in Dragon Fruit

The Tankwa Dress is a fun and flirtatious drop waist mini that borrows its fanned pleat skirt from the Tankwa Set and the front neckline slit from the Priestess and Novice dresses. An instant head-turner with minimal accessories or styling, it is almost too easy to look good in this dress.

Phoenix Jacket in Peacock

The Phoenix Jacket evolved from the Firedance Jacket. Where the Firedance is made for fiery movement, this elegant iteration is designed to give a more flickering dance. Its two-tone fabric catches the light and plays with it – as do the colours of the tiered ruffle sleeves, which flare out like the wings of a phoenix.

Priestess Dress in Cloud Dreams

The Priestess Dress was conceived for beauty and authority. It is graceful and sage, with an easy drama in its oversized sleeves that vent at the elbow. But it is also sultry, with a teasing hemline and playful cutouts at the front and back of the dress. We recommend you wear this dress with nude undergarments that match your skin tone.

Eyelet: 100% Cotton; Trim: Polyester Velvet Hand wash only. Wash separately. Turn inside out before washing. Do not wring. Line dry. Do not tumble dry. Iron on low heat on reverse side, if needed.

Adapted from the beauty and authority of the Priestess dress, the Novice Dress is simpler and sharper in shape but bolder in colour. It is just as graceful and sage but still sultry, with a teasing hemline, playful cutouts at the front of the dress, and an open back cascaded over by the extra long knot ties that secure the high neck of the dress. We recommend you wear this dress with nude undergarments that match your skin tone.

The Ober Tee is the t-shirt that makes cinches everything together. Deceptively simple from the front, the cut-out back and white waist ties reveal a playful yet elevated intentionality – this is not a basic. Wear it to demonstrate there's nothing casual about your off-duty style.
