'Elysian': A Most Enchanting Collection

Dearest Kittens,

Step into a world of enchantment with the unveiling of Kitten D'Amour's latest collection, 'Elysian.' Inspired by the beauty, serenity, and divine happiness the name evokes, this collection whisks you away to a dreamy paradise! In ancient Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields were a haven of light and joy, where heroes and the virtuous found eternal peace, far removed from worldly cares. Let 'Elysian' be your escape into a realm of delicate tulle, embroidery and bliss.

When we describe something as 'Elysian,' we aren’t simply calling it beautiful or pleasant—we’re celebrating something extraordinary, a little piece of heaven that transcends the ordinary. Whether it's a perfect sunset or a moment of pure bliss, these are the instances that make life feel truly 'Elysian.'

For a touch of enchantment, let’s hear how this angelic word is pronounced, guided by the dreamy voice of 'Julien Miquel.'

But, dearest Kittens, allow me to share a current delight that truly captures the essence of ‘Elysian’ perfection: the latest collection from none other than Kitten D’Amour. This breathtaking ensemble whispers of ‘Elysian’ elegance, featuring soft sage green hues delicately overlaid with embroidered tulle. Historically, embroidered tulle was a cherished fabric in the 19th century, adored for its intricate patterns and light-as-air texture, which added an ethereal charm to gowns and accessories. Its delicate designs would often be the crowning glory of evening wear, representing both luxury and refined craftsmanship.

And then there's the velvet trim—oh, the velvet! Velvet was historically reserved for royalty and the aristocracy, its lush texture lending an air of opulence and sophistication to garments. In eras past, velvet trims were used to embellish cuffs, collars, and hems, adding a touch of grandeur and elegance to women’s clothing. The use of velvet bows and trim in this collection harks back to a time when fashion was not just about dressing but about storytelling—each fold, stitch, and fabric choice conveying a tale of beauty and grace. 

Kitten D’Amour’s collection pays homage to this rich history, combining the beauty of embroidered tulle and velvet trim with modern sensibilities to create a vision that seems to float effortlessly between reality and reverie. Delicate scalloped hems, luxurious bustles, and feminine fascinators evoke a romantic spirit, yet feel perfectly suited for today’s fashion-loving Kitten.

Whether in the whispered reveries of a moonlit soirée or the delicate beauty of a quiet garden, we find these moments, so perfect and fleeting, are nothing short of ‘Elysian.’ And so, dear Kittens, may we all find ourselves blessed with a touch of the ‘Elysian’ in our own lives. After all, with a wardrobe filled with Kitten D'Amour designs, can we feel anything less than extraordinary?

 Join the Kittens of Kitten D'Amour, as they try on 'Elysian' for you!

'Elysian' Blouse with Singlet - Size 12:
Leila absolutely adored the delicate embroidery on this stunning design! She wore her usual size 12 and found it to be a perfect fit, though she notes there's little stretch, so kittens preferring a more relaxed fit might want to size up. Her favourite detail?

'Elysian' Wiggle Dress - Size 6:
Olivia is absolutely smitten with this wiggle dress, and it's giving her all the Bridgerton vibes! Thanks to the elastic and ruching at the top, it's wonderfully forgiving for those with a bigger bust and arms, offering both comfort and style. She found the size 6 to be the perfect fit, creating that dreamy hourglass shape.

Olivia decided to size down to a 4 in this top for a firm fit, since it's super stretchy like one of our classic D’Amour singlets. She found the 4 to be the perfect choice! Both colours are must-haves for any wardrobe. Whether dressed up with the ‘Elysian’ wiggle skirt or dressed down with a pair of fabulous Kitten D’Amour jeans, this top is a wardrobe winner.

It's a match made in vintage heaven!
