L'Émeraude Forêt — Woodland Silk Slip

The L'Émeraude Forêt slip is an evocation of deep woodland, rendered in pure mulberry silk satin charmeuse. Its surface, a canvas of deep emerald, hosts a meticulously painted motif: three distinct species of fern, their fronds layered with an almost photographic veracity, alongside painterly forest mushrooms. This verdant tableau captures the essence of an ancient forest, where narrow shafts of sunlight pierce a dense canopy, illuminating the quiet life below. The charmeuse, chosen for its luminous drape and supple hand, allows the garment to fall fluidly against the body, its natural sheen enhancing the watercolour depth of the reactive-dyed botanicals. Every glance reveals new intricacies within the print, a subtle play of shadow and light on the silk.

Each L'Émeraude Forêt slip is a singular creation, brought to life through a bespoke reactive-dye process that infuses the pure mulberry silk fibres with lasting, vibrant colour. This meticulous technique ensures the deep emerald ground and the intricate botanical motif retain their watercolour depth and integrity over time. From the initial dye-bath to the final hand-rolled hem, the making of this piece is a testament to artisanal dedication. It is carefully cut on the bias to ensure an elegant, flowing silhouette and finished with precision by human hands in our Hoboken atelier. This made-to-order approach, from conceptualisation to dispatch, ensures a garment of exceptional quality and considered beauty.

Style the L'Émeraude Forêt for an intimate elopement amidst ancient trees, paired with barely-there sandals and a simple, unadorned veil, allowing the dress to speak for itself. Alternatively, layer it under a cashmere cardigan or a tailored blazer for an evening affair, letting the halterneck and low cowl back offer a subtle allure. To preserve the exquisite quality of your silk, we recommend professional dry-cleaning. With thoughtful care, this piece is designed to be cherished for many years, becoming a treasured part of your wardrobe and personal narrative.
