August Gown
A note from the designer.
There is something so regal and elegant about this bias-cut gown. Combined with the soft texture of the linen, it somehow strikes as very natural and down-to-earth at the same time. It's my type of formal wear. I love that it can be dressed up with heels and accessories and then worn out to a more casual venue afterward. Most importantly, it's not one of those uncomfortable fancy dresses you can't wait to change out of, the minute you arrive home. The definition of someone or something that is "August" is dignified. We thought that a fitting way to articulate the feeling you get when wearing this special piece.
Xx, Jo

Garment Care
Garment CareCaring for your linen garment is easy! You can machine wash in cold or warm water with gentle detergent. Tumble drying on a low setting helps soften the linen.
Our products are pre-washed to prevent additional shrinkage. The exception is our lined jackets and coats. Our lined jackets should be dry cleaned or hand washed in cold water and hung to dry.
Wrinkles are part of linen's natural charm, but if you prefer a pressed look, use a medium-heat iron or a garment steamer. Hanging your linen item in a steamy bathroom can also help remove wrinkles.
Our Linen Spray is a great way to freshen up and soften wrinkles on natural fiber garments and bed linens, and it's especially handy for traveling.

Why we love linen
- One of the most eco-friendly fibres, as well as being one of the strongest natural fibres.
- Our linen is a weight of 240gsm so it will be durable for everyday use.
- Great thermoregulation properties. Meaning it draws heat away from the body, keeping you cooler in the warmer months and gives warmth during the cold months.
- No need to iron. Natural creases and wrinkles give linen its comforting and relaxed charm.
- Our linen products are pre-washed helping kickstart that signature linen softness that gets better with age and use.
