Each Valentina Royal Blue is made to order in Vietnam and will be with you within 3 weeks of ordering, including UK delivery time.

Royal Blue is a colour that has never needed an occasion to justify itself — though it rises to every one. Deep, vivid and luminous, it moves between daylight and candlelight without losing any of its intensity. Hand-finished into 100% pure Habotai silk, it carries the particular quality of blue that belongs to clear summer skies and lapis stone: saturated, assured, effortlessly elegant.

The Valentina moves the way silk was always meant to — unhurried, weightless, responsive to the lightest turn of air. Cut from 100% Habotai silk and lined in the same pure silk throughout, its tiered maxi silhouette falls in soft, sweeping layers that follow the body without ever confining it. Slender adjustable straps let the bodice settle exactly where it should, while the gentle volume through the skirt lends a romantic ease to every step.

Each dress is hand-finished in Vietnam by artisans working within a silk tradition centuries in the making, and carries the subtle character that distinguishes genuine craft from the mass-made. Wear it to a garden wedding, a coastal dinner, an Eid gathering, or the slow unfolding of a holiday evening — barefoot on warm stone, or elevated with gold jewellery and heels. The Valentina answers every occasion without effort.

Produced in small numbers, made carefully by the same hands from first thread to final stitch. This is slow fashion in its truest form.
