Market of Stars Courage Dear Heart Atelier Skirt

Our Atelier Skirt was inspired by memory and made for daydreams. This piece began with an antique French skirt we discovered at a sunlit flea market, and we fell in love with it instantly. We reimagined the silhouette with our own signature details and wove in a new story, one built around resilience, faith, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going.

The flowing shape features a soft flounce inspired by wildflowers from childhood, including white fawn lilies, trumpet honeysuckle, and chocolate lilies, all designed to move like petals in the breeze with every step. Delicate ties along the hem can be worn loose for an easy bohemian feel or knotted into bows for a touch of French romance. An elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring gives an easy, flattering fit across a range of sizes and body types. And yes, this skirt has pockets.

The Courage Dear Heart Atelier Skirt is crafted from our signature custom woven wood and bamboo viscose. It drapes beautifully, feels light and soft against the skin, and moves with an effortless, airy quality that carries you gracefully from a busy day into a quiet evening.

Pair it with a fitted blouse and boots for a look that feels romantic yet grounded, or layer it under a jacket for cooler days. This is a piece meant to be reached for again and again, a small daily reminder to give yourself grace and keep taking heart.

About the Print

Love, faith, and courage. We designed this piece as a reminder to keep all three close when the road feels long.

This print was created using archival artwork from the 1800s, including floral wreaths and fountains from Victorian lithographs, paired with an 1878 hand colored drawing of the sacred heart of Mary. The result is a dramatic and rich print that we hope will encourage you to give yourself grace, celebrate your tenacious spirit, and always, always take heart.
