Willow | Faux Suede Maxi Dress

The Willow Mixed-Texture Maxi

The Willow is that elusive "statement" piece that feels completely effortless. By blending soft faux-suede with woven check panels, we’ve created a dress that commands attention without trying too hard. It’s the kind of outfit that earns you compliments all day, while remaining comfortable enough for a busy Kiwi lifestyle.

Why It’s a Wardrobe Essential

• Elevated Textures: Soft-touch vegan suede meets classic check patterns. It’s a sophisticated patchwork design that feels intentional and high-end, never "crafty."

• Structured Yet Flowing: A fitted bodice defines your waist, leading into a full maxi skirt with incredible movement. You get a polished silhouette without feeling restricted.

• Quality That Matters: Featuring functional metal buttons, a matching cinch-belt, and—most importantly—deep side pockets for your essentials.

• Trans-seasonal Versatility: Perfectly suited for New Zealand’s "four seasons in one day." Layer it with woolly tights and boots for a Wellington wind, or pair with slides for a sunny Auckland afternoon.

• Four Timeless Colourways: Choose from Navy, Camel, Brown, or Grey—each featuring its own unique check combination.

The Details

• Fabric: Premium faux suede (vegan-friendly, soft-wash finish).

• Design: Mixed-media construction with contrasting check panels.

• Length: Maxi length (hits at the ankle on most heights).

• Features: Long sleeves, button-down bodice, and a flowing skirt.

• Inclusions: Matching waist belt.

• Sizing: Available in S–3XL.

How to Style It (The Kiwi Way)

• Weekend Markets: Pair with your favourite ankle boots, a denim jacket, and a crossbody bag.

• Dinner & Drinks: Elevate the look with knee-high boots, a longline wool coat, and a simple clutch.

• Festival Ready: Toughen it up with chunky boots, a leather biker jacket, and silver jewellery.

Care & Fit Notes

Fit: The bodice is true to size and fitted through the bust. If you are between sizes, we recommend your usual size, as the belt allows you to customise the waist fit.

Care: Hand wash or use a gentle cold machine cycle (inside out). Hang to dry in the shade—avoid the tumble dryer to keep the faux suede looking its best. A quick steam is all you need to refresh the fabric.
