Market of Stars - Hold Fast Pixie Duster Cropped Kimono w/ Boat, Rainbow
Created using an antique lithograph of a Victorian woman rowing through a storm — this print is a beautiful reminder of hope, tenacity, and strength. The image of a Brig ship is from an 1851 painting by Fitz Henry Lane, and the vintage lettering & seagulls are from a ship merchant advertising poster circa 1882. The rainbow & sun come from an antique postcard from the same era. For the trim, we reconstructed a 200-year-old textile fragment of suns, moons, and stars (origin unknown). The phrase “Hold Fast” — meaning “hold on tight, you’ll get through this” is a seafaring expression that sailors traditionally tattooed onto their knuckles, as talismans of protection to keep their grip on the rigging of the ship!
100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo).
