Two women in OliveAnkara Evee kaftan dresses at golden hour by a villa pool in Layan, Phuket

Two friends, a villa on the quiet side of Phuket, and nowhere to be.

Layan is the second chapter of Voyage, and the stop we made on the quiet side of Phuket. Espresso on the terrace, music on, long walks through the garden, a pool nobody could resist, and capes catching the breeze at golden hour.

The prints we travelled with in Chapter I return, reshaped into new silhouettes, joined by one new print saved for the evening: Espresso, in the deep coffee tones of the light just before dinner.

Your sanctuary, wherever you are.

New for Layan

Two friends had the day. We kept the evening.

Espresso is the only new print in Layan, cut into the Evee, the Catalia dress and the Amaka. Worn by two of us, swapped back and forth, so you can see how it sits before you choose yours.

Try it on at Boutiques Singapore, 20–22 November. Online pre-orders open Tuesday 1 December and close Saturday 5 December, delivered before Chinese New Year.
