Can you feel it? Today, Release is officially here.
We’ve been teasing it for weeks, and we’re so happy to finally say it out loud. Release is our new collection, and it’s all about slowing down, starting again and finding beauty in the small, quiet moments. And this time, it’s about more than silk. Pour a tea, get comfy, and let us tell you the story.
Meet Release
Release wanders through woodland and open meadows. It follows the changing seasons, the softer light and the slower mornings that make you want to begin again. There’s a little deer stepping between the trees, wildflowers swaying in the grass and one small, stubborn dandelion at the heart of it all.
It’s built around simple rituals: making a wish, gathering together and letting things grow in their own time. They’re ordinary moments, and that’s exactly the point.
Why a Dandelion?
Most people call it a weed. We call it a little miracle. The dandelion pops up in unexpected places, keeps going no matter what and carries a wish on every seed. To us, that’s resilience, hope and possibility in one tiny flower.
We asked our community to write down their wishes, and those wishes became part of the landscape too. They’re woven into the backdrop of part of the collection’s photoshoot, so a little piece of everyone who shared one is in the story.
Our First Skirt and Coat
Release is our biggest step into clothing yet. We’re expanding our range with more silk and wool pieces, all handmade in the UK, and two of them are firsts for us: our very first skirt and our very first coat.
Our coat is 100% wool, and both are embroidered by hand by Hand & Lock. Based in London, Hand & Lock is Britain’s oldest embroidery atelier and has been supplying military embroidery since 1767. Working with a team that carries that kind of craft felt like exactly the right way to begin something new.
Hand embroidery takes time, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. These are pieces made to be worn, loved and kept.
Bring Release Into Your Day
You don’t need a big gesture to begin again. A few small rituals are plenty.
Slow mornings. Slip on a Fold at bedtime and wake up to calmer, smoother hair, which makes the start of your day feel gentler. Prefer something you can simply pull on? Our Turbans are made for slow starts and wrapped-up days.
Soft evenings. Come night, a silk Pillowcase and a Cloud sleep mask turn winding down into a little ritual of its own.
Ten quiet minutes outside. Release is about reconnecting with nature, so give yourself a few moments among trees or grass. If you’re in the UK, the Woodland Trust can help you find a wood near you. Wherever you are in the world, The Nature Conservancy shares stories and ideas from landscapes across the globe. And if you’d like to know why a walk feels so good, Mind has a lovely guide on how nature supports your wellbeing. Reading from elsewhere? A local park, a beach path or a quiet corner of the garden makes a perfect little meadow.
Made Slowly, Made to Last
Like everything we make, Release is handmade in the UK in small, limited-edition runs. Our silk is pure Grade 6A mulberry silk, certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, so you know exactly what’s sitting against your hair and skin.
We also want you to love your pieces for a very long time. That’s why we offer free repairs and alterations for life, free worldwide shipping with duties covered, and the option to spread the cost with Klarna or Clearpay.
Make a Wish
Begin again, slowly. Take a breath, make a wish and let things grow in their own time.
Release is waiting for you. Shop the full collection.
