Top Nicole
Digitally printed organza top, engineered from 12 individually cut and padded panels that are shaped and tailored to follow the curves of the body. Each panel is constructed with raw wool interlaid between the organza, dyed using natural pigments, then secured with free-motion quilting stitched in a floral pattern across the surface. The result is a structured yet tactile bodice with organic depth and colour variation. Fully lined.
Each piece is cut and sewn individually in our London atelier. The wool is sourced raw and unwashed directly from an eco farm in Somerset, straight from the sheep, and must undergo three to five washes before it is ready to work with. It is then hand-dyed in three different colours using plants that vary depending on the season and what we are able to forage, giving each piece a naturally unique palette. Once dyed, the fabrics are sent to undergo a digital printing process before construction begins.
This top is made from from 12 individually cut panels. The fabric is then padded with the different coloured wools, each piece placed carefully by hand and pinned before being sewn onto the bodice. This process alone can take a couple of days, with great care taken to ensure as few creases as possible. From start to finish, each garment can take up to 5 days to complete.
Due to high demand, please allow 4 weeks from the date of your order for your piece to be made.
