Structured, soft, and unmistakably elegant.

The Ostuni Dress in Navy is crafted from breathable Italian cotton in our atelier by Lake Garda by il team di Emanuela. With its clean collar, short sleeves, and full midi skirt, it combines classic shirting elements with feminine volume and ease.

We’ve styled it with our Fuchsia Belt (sold separately) and a statement hat for a bold take on race-day elegance — but it’s just as striking with sandals and a scarf on a coastal weekend away.

Whether you’re dressing for the Melbourne Cup or simply want to feel beautifully put together, the Ostuni carries you with grace, confidence, and a little playfulness.

Because elegance should always feel this effortless.
