The Loose Silk Robe is designed, printed and made in England. It is constructed from 100% silk: the outer fabric is a beautifully dusky sandwashed Crepe de Chine, and it is lined in silk georgette. The style features a loose, flowing shape, wide sleeves, and delicate ribbons for optional closure. The robe is accompanied by a silk tie for additional styling options, which can be worn as a belt to create a wrap dress, or as a scarf to accessorize your look. Sabina has engineered a bespoke placement print around the garment, ensuring a unique and distinctive aesthetic from every angle.

Ring a Ring o’ Roses is a sweet and cheerful poesy believed to have been written about The Black Death which swept London in the 14th century; a fate from which even royalty was not spared. In this design, a fluffy ragdoll kitten gazes at the viewer, drawing them in with glassy doe-eyes. It sits daintily, tail curled, and head tilted in an inquisitive and innocent manner, and it wears a delightful satin ribbon and bell around the neck and head. Below the kitten, a paper illustration of Buckingham Palace is nailed to the worn stone plinth; the poster beginning to curl and tear as unruly flowers burst their way through its centre, demonstrating that nature will always find its course. As we look closer, the kitten lifts its front paw to step towards the viewer, precariously treading a curl of disintegrating paper, its structure sure to give way. Surrounding the central scene, a ring of botanical posies, English garden flowers found within the grounds of the palace.
