Butterfly Floral Satin Robe

Silver-grey fluid satin robe with a delicate print of multicoloured butterflies and blooms. Designed in a relaxed fit with ¾-length sleeves, waist tie, side splits, and crafted in polyester satin. For Victorians, the butterfly was one of the most richly layered of all decorative symbols, representing the themes of transformation, new beginnings and the fleeting beauty of life that were central preoccupations of an age fascinated simultaneously by scientific progress and spiritual uncertainty. The era's love of Japonisme favoured the use of Japanese motifs in fashion and home decorations, another reason butterflies were so much in fashion toward the end of the nineteenth century. A beautiful and distinctive dressing gown for anyone with an affinity for butterflies.
