Pre order Market of stars woodland wisdom slip dress
Woodland Wisdom invites you into a secret world where even the unlikeliest of friends find warmth in each other’s company. Created in collaboration with the extraordinary Charles van Sandwyk, this design draws on his gift for capturing the tender, hidden stories of nature—tales where creatures are not just animals, but symbols of love, resilience, and quiet magic. Known for his luminous watercolours and intricate linework, Charles’ work feels like stepping into a storybook where every detail whispers of wonder. We are delighted to share his art in this new chapter of our collaboration!
At the heart of this delightful print lies a cozy underground burrow where a fox curls protectively around a pheasant and her nest of eggs, their peace unbroken by the roles the world expects them to play. Above, the moonlit forest stretches out—a gnarled old tree rises from the earth, a castle glows faintly in the distance, and a wise owl sweeps across the night sky. In his talons, he carries an hourglass and a message, as if flying between worlds to deliver a truth we must not forget.
With its deep greens, warm glowing earth tones, and the hush of night, Woodland Wisdom speaks to the magic that unfolds when we nurture instead of harm, protect instead of fear, and choose to love one another—creature to creature, heart to heart.
The adjustable straps, oversized cut, and soft, flowy bamboo viscose make our Bohéme dresses a wardrobe staple for layering, running errands, dancing, lounging or napping — and they’re also a must-have for travel, wherever you roam. You can also wear this piece two ways, with the wise owl on the front, or the back — depending on your mood.
Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend layering it with our Étoile slip (or any other slip you have) when wearing it with bare legs. Our model in the photos is wearing the dress without a slip. Shown worn with our Woodland Wisdom Matineé Duster (sold separately).
