The Ties that Bind Us
Reunions can come in varied forms, from multicultural families, resilient single moms, or even those that carry the weight of loss – but with the breaking of norms comes the strengthening of ties and the unwavering importance of familial bonds. Featuring styles designed in intricate knots and strappy details, each outfit exudes the symbolism of unity through auspicious colours, exclusive in-house embroidery Opulent Florals, and brocade textiles Heirloom Botanicals and Rekindled Blooms.
