A striped maxi that does the work of five outfits. The Riviera is cut in pure cotton cambric and built like a proper dress — fitted through the bodice, released into a full circular sweep below the waist, and finished with the one thing every woman asks for: real, deep pockets.
The stripe is the quiet detail. A broad rust band, a narrower ivory one, and running down the centre of every ivory stripe, a fine charcoal hairline you only notice up close. It is what keeps the dress from reading like a basic candy stripe.
The neckline sits high and straight across the collarbones, and the back is fully closed — no scoop, no gaping, nothing to manage. Wear it with sneakers through the day, swap to heels and gold hoops after six.
THE FABRIC
Cotton cambric is a plain-weave, tightly woven cotton — closely spun, smooth to the hand, with a crisp finish that holds a shape without feeling stiff. It breathes properly in Indian heat, takes colour cleanly, and softens a little with each wash while keeping its structure. It is the reason this skirt flares the way it does rather than clinging.
