A metallic slate grey mini dress, with a beautiful curved neckline and voluminous sleeves. Cut in taffeta twill, the structure of the fabric adds formality to the Delphine. Its metallic sheen makes it perfect for a wedding or evening cocktails.
Delphine is named after Catherine Deneuve's character in the iconic French Nouvelle-Aquitaine-based musical, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. The colour references the majestic storms that take place on the region's Atlantic coast.
Unlined.
Made in England.
Delphine is also available in Fleur, a fuschia.
Sustainability
100% deadstock polyester twill. Sourcing deadstock prevents the manufacture of virgin polyester, which is plastic-based. We never use virgin polyester fabrics, only sourcing deadstock or recycled polyester to contribute to the reduction of the fashion industry's reliance on virgin oil-based materials.
As polyester fabrics shed microfibres into the water supply, we recommend washing your dress inside a Guppy Friend washing bag to capture the microparticles.
Delphine is manufactured at a small-batch production studio in South London. The studio specializes in high-end production, working with many emerging designers and brands in the city. Each piece is made by hand in-studio by their talented seamstresses and cutters.
Please note polyester fabrics are not biodegradable.
