Wearing Italy: Meet My Audrey Midi Dresses

Wearing Italy: Meet My Audrey Midi Dresses

It took me nearly two months to find my new dress production partner! Le Galeriste in Montréal, Canada, is a wonderful maker of wearable art and dresses, and I’m delighted to be working with them.

For years I’ve painted the Italian landscapes I love, from the glittering waters of Lake Como to the rolling hills of Tuscany and the winding canals of Venice. I always dreamed of seeing those paintings move through the world, and not only hang on a wall. When I found the Audrey midi dress, it felt like a dream come true.

Why the Audrey?

The Audrey is a fit-and-flare midi with a V-neckline, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. It also has pockets, which I think every dress should have! 😄

My watercolours are printed across the skirt and bodice, so the dress works like a canvas. When you wear it, the painting moves with you.

Made with care

• Made to order: each dress is made for you when you order.
• Available size: XS to XL
• Sewn by women, for women: every dress is sewn by skilled women, with care.
• Ponte de Roma fabric: it holds its shape beautifully without feeling stiff, so it’s comfortable to wear all day.

My Venice canal paintings are next, and the dresses are on their way! Stay tuned. I can’t wait to show you. 

Where to find them

The Lake Como and Tuscany Audrey midi dresses are available now in my Etsy shop, DeniseWongArts: denisewongarts.etsy.com 

Coming Soon: Nappa Leather Bags with Italian and Wildlife Art

 

Buongiorno! I’m delighted to share that new Nappa leather bags are coming soon to my shop! The collection includes the Pleated Soft Frame Bag, Zip Top Handbag, Square Hobo Bag, and Holdall Carryall Bag.

How the Nappa leather bag is made

Each bag is handmade to order in Contrado’s London production facility. First, professional print technicians use the latest digital printing techniques to print the artwork onto the leather. Once the artwork is permanently imprinted, craftsmen cut the leather to the correct size and shape, following a pattern from Contrado’s exclusive in-house bag designer. Finally, artisan seamstresses stitch the bag together using a thread made specifically for leather.

There will be at least seven Nappa leather bag designs available in my shop, all featuring my Italian, Venice, bird, and wildlife art.
