INSPIRATION: MATOAKA

We grew up watching Disney classics such as Cinderella, Pocahontas, Snow White etc etc. The heroines were dreamy, strong-willed and were role-models to look up to (at the time, I mean we were little!). The story of Matoaka or Pocahontas (her nickname which translates to “little wanton”) was striking for me, I thought her free-spirit was inspirational. This is probably where my love for Native Indian culture began, getting to visit the National Museum of American Indians in NYC solidified this. Drawing inspiration for one of my childhood heroines, we found this gorgeous corduroy bib front long sleeved dress. The tan colour is reminiscent of the dress that Pocahontas wore in the 1995 Disney movie! If you were inspired by Pocahontas when you were younger, you should definitely check out our pocahontas dress!!
