Vita dress – checkerboard blue

PREORDER FOR W/C 15 JUNE VITA is the maxi dress that makes you walk out of the door feeling like you've got it together. The palette of cornflower blue, warm cream, coral and lilac feels fresh for spring and summer, but the quality of this dress means you'll reach for it long after the season changes. The print is one-of-a-kind hand-drawn by our founder Sa, then brought to life using a precision digital ink-printing technique by a small, talented production team we visited in India this February. Why VITA is worth it: 100% cotton – breathable, kind to skin, and better with every wash Hand-drawn print by founder Sa – these florals exist nowhere else Digitally ink-printed in India by a small specialist team we know personally, using a high-resolution technique that keeps colours vivid and sharp wash after wash Frilled Peter Pan collar adds charm without fuss Puffed, gathered sleeves with a flattering mid-length – striking from the shoulder, comfortable at the wrist Fully gathered skirt for ease of movement and a silhouette that flatters rather than clings Deep pockets – You're welcome.

How to wear VITA, all year round: Spring & Summer – Wear as a standalone dress with trainers or sandals and a tote. Let the print do the talking. Autumn – Layer with a a fine-knit or roll-neck underneath – add ankle boots and a leather belt at the waist for shape. Suddenly it's a whole different outfit. Winter – Don't pack it away. Worn over a fine thermal or under an oversized coat with chunky boots, VITA earns its place through every season. Opaque tights in navy or forest green tie the palette together beautifully. This is a dress you'll find yourself reaching for on a grey Tuesday as much as a sun-soaked Saturday. That's the point. 100% cotton. Hand-drawn print by founder Sa. Digitally ink-printed in India.
