The mist is rolling in at the top of the 199 steps of The Octopus Garden. Through a gap the falling leaves have left in the trees, you can catch a glimpse of a stained glass sun - casting light on all twelve signs of the stars, protecting an ancient building. A stream of smoke draws you to the outer walls, which read: ‘Every man and every woman is a star: Welcome to Castle Crowley.’
It was only right that we sourced the most Magick vintage pieces to go alongside our AW25 'Castle Crowley' collection - think medieval revival shapes, brocade prints, exquisite trims and beautiful fabrics.
Details: What an absolute dream piece! An absolutely stunning traditional antique kimono, I estimate from China around the 1940s. It has a classic kimono shape, super heavy weight double layered silk with splits on the sleeves and an intricate design on the hem. These kimonos were worn by women of status and were designed to trail on the floor or be tied up with an obi, hence the very long length!
