BONNIE SHELLEY PAISLEY SILK MAXI DRESS

4 250 kr

TUSCAN MALIBU SILK DRESS

The ultimate luxury hippie dress – dreamy, effortless and seriously special.

Made in an exceptionally luxurious 50 GSM silk – a heavier silk quality than we normally use in our collections. The extra weight gives the fabric an even richer feel, a beautiful drape and that wonderful movement that only a more substantial silk can create.

The silk is finished with our dreamy digitally printed paisley design in warm, sun-faded shades we call Tuscan Malibu – a little Tuscany, a little California and plenty of 70’s glamour.

The silhouette is soft and feminine with a deep, relaxed V-neckline and lots of beautiful volume and movement. The extra-long balloon sleeves are finished with wide cuffs in luxurious Lycra lace – soft, stretchy and comfortable, while adding that little extra touch of bohemian glamour.

Our signature Happiness appliqués in shimmering gold add a playful flash of magic and that unmistakable Agencies Turquoise feeling.

The skirt has plenty of flow, practical side pockets and a double bottom hem with side slits. The double hem adds extra weight, helping the silk fall and move beautifully.

It may look wonderfully luxurious, but this is definitely not a dress that needs to wait for a special occasion. Wear it barefoot on holiday, dress it up for dinner – or throw it over jeans with sneakers for that effortless luxury-hippie look.

Q & A

How do you produce your fabrics?
We have sourced raw materials from our fabric manufacturers in India since 2004. We dye, print, and embroider everything ourselves.

Do you work exclusively with natural materials?
Yes, we mainly use pure cotton, linen, and silk. Occasionally, we create garments in viscose.

Do you work with multiple suppliers around the world?
No. Apart from our silk supplier in China, everything has been handled in-house by our long-standing and only manufacturer in India since 2004.

Can your cotton garments be washed at 40°C?
Yes, but we always recommend washing them at 30°C especially our traditionally handprinted block prints.

How should your silk garments be washed?
For a longer lifespan, we recommend hand washing. However, they can also be machine washed on a short, gentle cycle in a laundry bag, using detergent suitable for silk or wool, or olive oil soap.

Is there anything special to consider when washing batik-patterned garments?
Yes, do not leave batik-patterned garments to soak in water.

Wash with care
Wash only when needed and choose a low temperature whenever possible. We recommend washing cotton at 30°C.

Be gentle with delicate fabrics
Silk can often simply be aired between wears. When washing is needed, hand wash whenever possible. If using a washing machine, choose a short, gentle cycle and use a laundry bag. Never soak batik-patterned garments.

Embrace the natural texture
Cotton, linen, and silk can be ironed, but they do not have to be. Leave them unironed for a softer, more relaxed look.

Do you work with external designers?
No. I’m Elina, and I design all of our styles.

How do you collaborate with your manufacturing partner in India?
I spend three months of every year on-site in India. Together with our local team, I develop each new collection: from season to season, year after year.
