DESCRIPTION
This is a demonstration store. You can purchase products like this from Beards & Daisies
Vriesea Astrid is quite the elegant name and this houseplant certainly lives up to it. It flowers for three to six months of the year, and its blooms are spectacular.
There are 250 varieties of Vriesea and this plant has origins in the south and central America. It's an epiphyte in its native habitat, which means that despite its tendency to grow on other plants, it doesn't harm them in the process.
This is a tropical plant so it will appreciate humidity and misting in order to provide moisture to the foliage. It's very easy to look after, making it ideal for new plant parents.
FABRIC & CARE
100% European linen, garment-washed. Cold wash, line dry, warm iron — it softens from the first wear and settles by the third. Repairs are free, for life.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
Ships within 48 hours, duties included. 30-day returns, free within the EU. Returned pieces re-enter the collection through Le Retour — never landfill.

The story of one dress.
-
THE CLOTH
European linen, woven at 210 grams in a fourth-generation Normandy mill — heavy enough to hold the scallop, light enough for July.
-
THE HANDS
Cut and finished in Porto by the same eight hands since 2019. Three hours and forty-one minutes of work go into every piece.
-
THE NUMBER
Two hundred are cut, no more. Each is numbered by hand on the inside seam — 139 are already spoken for. Yours is waiting for its ink.
-
THE PROMISE
Repairs are free, for life. And when you are done, it comes home through Le Retour — credit for you, a second life for the dress.
“We cut two hundred. We will not cut more.”
