We both design and import unique bridal wear for discerning brides., specializing in affordable modern and bohemian made to order wedding dresses that are available for sale or rent. Our range design-forward and made with quality materials and keen attention to detail.

We are thrilled to announce that we will now offer bespoke design services to a limited number of brides per year. Respectfully, we will not accept or take inspiration from other bridal designers, but will work from reference photos. Bespoke gowns start from R 30,000 and you will have an opportunity to work alongside our designer Jo Malin to create your gown. All appointments will be held from our Cape Town Studio or via a Zoom meeting if you are unable to attend.

Additionally, our entire collection is customizable – we can change the neckline, back, train, adding or removing sleeves, and swap fabrics, so if there are element you want to swap or add we can create a bespoke dress for you, using the existing collection as the foundation.

We have a comparatively short production times of 4 months, but advise you to start shopping sooner rather than later – ideally 5-6 months before your wedding date is due.

Looking for a dress is an exciting time and it is normal to feel a little nervous, but please don’t worry as we make you feel welcomed and at ease. Bring a sense of open-mindedness as you never know what your dream gown feels like until you wear it!

We recommend that you bring only the closest guests that will be supportive and have your interest at heart. It is normal for the bride to receive lots of opinions, so for occasion to be all about you finding the perfect dress for you, it is best to not bring more that four guests along.

Wear skin coloured underwear that you don’t mind being seen in by our consultant. Wear something casual and easy to take on and off. We recommend a sundress with sandals in summer, or leggings and a sweater in winter. You won’t need to bring your wedding shoes to your first appointment – you’ll be more comfortable just wearing socks.

Sometimes it is possible, so please enquire as we will do anything to help.
