The Catie Caftan in Cream from La Peony is exactly the kind of piece I gravitate toward and the kind of thing I know so many founders live in behind the scenes. It has that relaxed, drapey silhouette you want on long work-from-home days, but the cut and fabric keep it firmly in the elevated category, not “I gave up” loungewear. The cream shade feels soft and refined, which makes it incredibly easy to style: barefoot at home, with simple gold jewelry for brunch, or with a belt and sandals for dinner or vacation.

The Marion Parke Ava Pump in Black Nappa is exactly the kind of shoe I wish I’d discovered years ago. It’s everything I want in a classic black heel: clean, sculpted lines, soft nappa leather, and a silhouette that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. But what really sets it apart is how it feels on—this doesn’t wear like a “beautiful but painful” pump. It wears like something designed by someone who actually understands what it’s like to be on your feet all day.

Crafted with attention to detail, each bag in this collection is designed with thoughtful form. The silhouettes feel modern yet timeless, striking that elusive balance between softness and strength. Rich, premium materials paired with fluid lines make these bags feel both wearable and artful.
