Palaiologue

In previous generations, this dress was a statement about the wealth of the family of the woman wearing it, since the black and floral fabric was originally silk brought back to the island from Italy by wealthy merchants and sailors. For Palaiologue’s interpretation, we took a high-resolution photograph of the floral motif from a Morko from the late 19^th century and printed it onto 100% recycled synthetic silk.

Through this process, the original embroidery stitches are visible in our unique print, creating a bridge between the traditional dress and our modern version.
