Sometimes we stand quiet and steadfast — and sometimes we roar. Lionheart is a celebration of strength in all its forms: the fierce and the brave, the soft and the graceful. Created in collaboration with renowned artist and illustrator Jessica Roux — whose work is filled w![]()
ith intricate botanicals, timeless creatures, and a sense of quiet wonder — this design captures the heart of courage itself. At the centre of our print is Jessica’s majestic lion crowned with roses, his gaze both powerful and impossibly tender—our nod to Aslan from the pages of Narnia. Around him, roses bloom as symbols of love and friendship, while magnolias weave through the tangle, representing gentleness and resilience. Each flower is meticulously collaged from Jessica’s paintings, creating a beautiful tapestry of her signature style. An infinity symbol arcs above, a sign of boundless strength and eternal love. We invite you to step through the wardrobe, and in to Jessica’s remarkable world.

How To Wear
This Matinée Duster brings the spirit of our Lionheart print into an easy, everyday silhouette you’ll reach for all the time! For casual days, we’ll be wearing ours over jeans and a soft tee or lightweight sweater, then adding sneakers or loafers for a relaxed, pulled-together feel. We also love it layered over a short dress, with sandals or ballet flats and a small crossbody bag for a playful day out. For work or evening, pair it with tailored trousers or the matching Artist Pants, a simple tank in dusty rose or bright blue, and ankle boots. And for days when you want a little extra presence, we love it over a monochrome base in black or cream with statement earrings — elegant and radiant, with a little bit of roar 😉
Our Muse
The fierce-hearted, the tender. Women who carry roses through the storm, who meet the world with eyes both fearless and kind. Women who can whisper—and roar.
More Inspo
Artist Jessica Roux is known for creating worlds that feel both intimate and timeless — places where animals, flowers, and symbols carry emotional weight as much as visual beauty. Her work often explores themes of courage, protection, gentleness, and belonging, rendered through delicate linework and a deep reverence for the natural world. In Lionheart, her signature style shines — and strength and tenderness exist side by side.
Lions have long appeared in art and storytelling as symbols of bravery, guardianship, and leadership, but they are just as often associated with tenderness and devotion. In nature, lions are deeply social creatures, known for their loyalty and quiet watchfulness as much as their roar. This duality has made the lion a lasting emblem of courage that protects rather than dominates — strength rooted in love.
For many of us, the lion also carries a sense of childhood wonder. From myth and medieval heraldry to beloved stories like the Chronicles of Narnia, the lion has represented a kind of goodness that is both mighty and merciful. Lionheart draws from this lineage, celebrating a vision of bravery that makes room for softness — where roses bloom beside claws, and strength is measured not by force, but by the ability to remain open-hearted.
Do not forget the lion
in your belly. Asleep
these years, the warm
patient creature of hope
who stretches to the light,
even on a night
without stars. Did you forget
she has teeth? Wake her.
