A capsule of fourteen pieces in oxidised linen, raw silk, and hand-finished cotton — built around the colours found at the tideline after a long evening at the Étretat coast.
A silk slip in palest sea-grey, cut for the way a body actually sits on a morning in early summer. Hand-finished at the strap.
A single piece in salt-washed nylon, drawn from the swim capsule we run each summer. Holds its shape after a hundred dips.
A heavyweight raw silk robe, kimono-cut, untied. Designed to be worn at home, at the studio, or with everything underneath.
A long top in handwoven oilcloth, photographed in the studio on a quiet weekday morning. The fabric was the only thing in the room not made by us.
We wanted to make a collection that didn't insist on attention. Clothes that look the same in the shop and on the body — and then look better, ten washes later, in a kitchen at six in the morning.
We make fewer things than we used to. We are not interested in selling you a wardrobe — only the pieces that will stay with you long after the season has been forgotten.
Each shade in the collection is named for a thing we found on the beach the morning we began the season. We are letting the names stand, in case it is interesting to anyone.
Maison Verre is invented — but the kind of work behind it is real. Built top-to-bottom by Exporado for clients who treat the website as part of the garment.
