Oranges and Lemons Loose Silk Robe

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. 

Oranges and Lemons: a tuneful folksong often accompanied in the school playground by a dancing game, growing faster and faster until one unlucky player is caught out on the final, fateful line. The lyrics of the rhyme are said to be based around the sequence of churches passed by prisoners as they were marched to the Tower of London (and we all know what happened there). For this design, I chose to invoke the idea of Mother Goose, flying gracefully above the churches of Victorian London (or is she falling?). She is adorned with a pretty grosgrain ribbon, swirling and twisting in an elegant and pleasing spiral, although the ribbon seems to have snapped, just as it crosses her neck. Above her, the sky is filled with a scene of exotic and explosively vibrant citrus fruits, each so foreign and shocking against the grey London landscape. Amongst the fruits, a striking green parrot looms, heralding the arrival of tropical new species to England, an unknown threat to our domestic breeds of the era.
