Market of stars Bella notte kimono

About this product

Meaning “Beautiful Night”, our Bella Notte print is a dramatic, evocative tribute to romance. The seated woman in the trees with her dreamy, faraway gaze was painted in 1880 by artist & poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, while the charming rabbit comes from a much earlier painting done in 1585. The open book at the bottom of the design reads “Many are the stars I see, yet in my eye no star like thee” — words which we took from an engraving inside the band of a gold ring made in the 1700’s. The beautiful moonlit river landscape on the sleeves comes from an 1840's British oil painting, and the exquisite floral trim is from the border of a calligraphic manuscript by famed artist William Morris from the same era. 100% bamboo/wood viscose. Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Kimono meaurements: length 118cm, width 78 cm (across back, underarm to underarm).
