Named after co-founder Lea's super fashionable grandmother (beware of her orange hair!), our Gertrude Maxi Dress is one of a kind. Its graceful floor-length cut, the puffed sleeves, and the accentuated waist-fit add this extra bit of elegance while the mother-of-pearl buttons and the embroidered details make this linen dress a laid-back statement piece.
Features an open V-Back and its cuffs feature bio-degradable mother-of-pearl buttons.
Designed in London and responsibly crafted in Portugal.

HOW TO STYLE IT
Perfect for swanning around with your better half on a warm summer night or for brunch with the girls. Also great as a beach cover-up over a cute bikini and a big hat. But beware, you'll be turning heads all the way ...
Here's why we love linen so much: linen is a natural, durable, hypo-allergenic, temperature-regulating and highly breathable material. The cultivation of flax (the plant linen is made of) is environmentally-friendly as it uses less water, chemicals and land. Find out more here.
We source our linens from Italy, the Czech Republich, Belgium, and Austria.
We fully oversee our supply chain, putting the highest ecological and social standards at the core of our work.
Our garments are made in Portugal by a small team of seamstresses. By solely working with European small-scale suppliers, we can guarantee fair wages & good working conditions.
Our hang tags are made of sugar cane waste & our care labels are cut from organic cotton.

Wash your linen piece gently and preferably by hand.
When machine-washing it, wash it on a low temperature (ideally cold or on max. 30 degrees) and on a gentle spinning cycle to protect the garment's fibers.
Use a mild and preferably organic detergent to best preserve the piece's colour and fit.
Lay it flat to dry - tumble drying is bad for the environment anyways ...
