Print Layette Gown & Knot Hat Set in Natural with Monarch Butterfly

Print Layette Gown & Knot Hat Set in Natural with Monarch ButterflyA monarch on warm ivory for first days. A single monarch rests at the brow of the little knot hat, wings open in rust and amber and inky black, as though it drifted in through an open window and decided to stay. The gown beneath is warm ivory, finished with a thread of marigold at the collar and cuffs that picks up the butterfly's fire. There is something quietly ceremonial about it, the way you might wrap a brand new baby for the very first photo,

There is real joy in a print this busy and this bold

prancing horses and little hearts circling across a soft baby-pink fairground

soft Parisian blue

It is the thinking man's teal

and a hem that dips into gentle points along the sides

White hides nothing and needs nothing

White swans drift across a deep navy ground

holding its drape from those first weeks straight through to forty and beyond

salt-and-pepper heather flecked with light and dark

A whole veggie garden on near-black

collar to hem

woodsy portabella brown that feels like good coffee and falling leaves
