Deep bordeaux silk falls in a clean, unbroken column from a simple round neckline to the floor, its satin surface shifting between wine and claret as the light changes. The only ornament is the sleeve — long and fitted through the arm, finishing with a single flared hem that opens at the wrist in a quiet, architectural sweep. It is a detail that recalls the robes of Renaissance portraiture, reinterpreted in the most contemporary way: understated, deliberate, and impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Celeste Bordeaux Rose is handcrafted in Vietnam by artisan makers whose understanding of silk — how it falls, how it catches light, how it responds to the body — comes from generations of working with the material. The fabric is a traditionally woven, hand-dyed mulberry silk blend, its deep bordeaux ground achieved through a careful dyeing process that gives the colour its characteristic richness and depth. No printing, no shortcuts: the colour lives in the weave itself. Hidden side pockets are set invisibly into the seams; a concealed back zip ensures a clean, uninterrupted finish from neckline to hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it to an evening gala with a single statement ring and nothing else. Take it to the theatre, to a winter wedding, to a formal dinner where the candlelight catches the satin and does the rest. The long sleeves make it a natural choice for autumn and winter occasions, and for those who want the full elegance of coverage without any loss of sophistication. It is equally at home at a Lunar New Year celebration, a Christmas dinner, or a luxury cruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celeste Bordeaux Rose is produced in very small numbers. Hand-dyed in small batches, each dress carries its own depth of colour — slightly different from the last, unmistakably its own. A dress to wear to the occasions worth dressing for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell: Mulberry silk blend (80% silk, 20% viscose) — traditionally woven, hand-dyed satin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLining: Mulberry silk blend (80% silk, 20% viscose) — smooth and comfortable against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-dyed bordeaux rose ground — subtle tonal variation natural and unique to each piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong sleeves with single flared hem — opens gracefully at the wrist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean round crew neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed column silhouette — elegant and fluid without clinging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed centre-back zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxi length: 135cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel is 168cm (5'6\") and wears UK size 8–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in UK sizes 8, 10, 12, 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Vietnam by heritage artisan makers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited production run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean recommended; gentle hand wash in cool water as alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry; hang or lay flat away from direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid #E7DECB; margin-top: 18px; padding-top: 16px; font-family: inherit; color: #2b2622; line-height: 1.7; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Pre-order — handcrafted to order, dispatched June 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e✓ Free 30-day UK returns \u0026amp; size exchanges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e✓ Ships in our signature gift box — included as standard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e✓ Handcrafted in Vietnam by heritage artisans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003e✓ As featured in British Vogue, Tatler \u0026amp; Grazia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-style: italic; color: #6b6258; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eUnsure of your size?
