The Paloma

Hand-Beaded Shell Mini Dress

Delicate by nature. Unforgettable by design.

R25 900,00

The Paloma is individually hand embellished with genuine natural shells, creating a luminous, tactile surface that catches the light with every movement.

Cut to a shorter length with an open back, she balances intricate handwork with an effortless, barely-there silhouette. Each shell carries its own natural variations in tone, shape and texture, making every Paloma inherently unique.

Made for the second look, the party, the honeymoon, long lunches somewhere warm and nights that call for something extraordinary.

The details

Hand embellished with genuine natural shells.

Handcrafted & natural materials

Each piece is individually made and embellished by hand. Every shell and mother-of-pearl element is individually applied by human hands, meaning no two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

We work with genuine natural shell and mother-of-pearl, not synthetic imitations. As materials created by nature, variations in colour, tone, shape, size, texture and natural markings are to be expected. These characteristics are not considered faults or defects, but are part of the beauty and individuality of each piece.

Minor variations in the placement and spacing of embellishment are also a natural result of the hand-finishing process.

By purchasing this piece, you acknowledge and accept these natural and handcrafted variations as part of its unique character.
