Papillon

A hint of Kimono – with long flowing sleeves sweeping to a point and a matching waist band. Around the shoulders a beautiful flowing gossamer echarpe with a stunning hand printed Japanese figurine recalling the eastern promise. Dress exclusively designed by Hawker & Walker, hand stitched -with pearl beading neck line – using exclusively hand printed silk designed by Chapple Hamlin-Wright.

Hawker & Walker, Chapple Hamlin-Wright and Papillon are all new names on me and only Hamlin-Wright has showed up any trace on my initial searches. So do get in touch if you know any more!
