We’re pleased to present our first foray into reworked vintage design, starting with an ongoing series of hand-painted archival vintage pieces. In collaboration with Philadelphia-based artist Shannon Retseck, who developed this modern, painterly take on Delft-tile motifs, we’ve reimagined some of the most treasured vintage items, giving them new life to truly spectacular effect.

This 1980s Yves Saint Laurent cornflower blue linen dress with a 2-way zippered closure has been hand-painted by Retseck with her signature dye-paint, which creates a smooth finish to the hand of the textile. Every detail has been considered and elevates an already beautiful, finely crafted garment to the level of fine art and a modern heirloom.
