The Broderie Anglaise pieces in the Maréa collection embody what the brands signature is; considered and feminine. Each piece is handmade in the North-West of England using UK deadstock broderie anglaise cotton giving beautiful existing fabric life, and keeping production honest.
The embroidery motif woven through this collection is the palm tree and it isn't accidental. Palms are the original symbol of warmth, escapism, and femininity in bloom. They appear in the broderie anglaise weave itself, that open, light-catching pattern that lets the fabric breathe and move like nothing else. It is a nod to the places these pieces are designed for: the long dinner abroad, the sun-drenched terrace, the summer wedding where you want to feel entirely yourself. And it is a thread connecting each piece in the collection from the Maxi Dress to the Bow Top into something cohesive.
Here is what is available, and everything you need to know about each piece:
The Broderie Anglaise Maxi Dress
The Maxi Dress takes the same shape as its mini counterpart however its floor length. Strapless with a tied back with a graceful bow that defines this collection, the maxi version carries a formality of occasion. But it is the broderie anglaise, open-weave, breathable cotton fabric that keeps it from ever feeling stiff.
The hem grazes the ground. The partially lined skirt sits close enough to the body to suggest without revealing. A dress for dinners, summer weddings or to but on from the beach.
Available in White, Black, and Palm Green. Sizes S–XL. True to size, size down if you have a flatter chest.
The Broderie Anglaise Mini Dress
Strapless and cut to fall at the upper thigh, the skirt is partially lined for comfort and modesty, with the broderie anglaise overlay creating a layered, textural depth that no plain fabric can replicate.
It is the dress for the terrace dinner that runs into dancing, the beach club lunch that becomes an evening. Available in White, Black, and Palm Green. Sizes S–XL. The skirt has a relaxed A-line ease through the hip with a lined underlayer providing coverage at the hem. True to size. Wear over a bikini straight from the beach for an instant evening-ready look or add block-heeled sandals and jewellery for dinner on the terrace.
The Shirred Top
The Shirred Top is gathered throughout creating a texture-on-texture effect where the open weave of the broderie meets the soft gathered rows of elasticated shirring.
A wide boat neckline frames the collarbone and shoulders with a graceful, unfussy line. Tie fastenings at both sides allow complete silhouette adjustment wear it loose and relaxed. Available in White, Black, and Palm Green. Sizes S–XL. All-over shirring provides natural stretch and adaptability.
The Broderie Anglaise Bow Top
The kind of top that earns compliments before you've said a word. A deep V-neckline with bow tie fastenings down the front. The puff sleeves fall just at the elbow. Structured enough to hold their shape.
The broderie anglaise, sourced from UK deadstock, brings a lightness and texture that catches light in the most flattering way.Available in White, Black, and Palm Green. Sizes S–XL. A relaxed, slightly cropped fit that skims the body without clinging.
