AEGLE - Pelican Bay Printed Silk Crepe Belted Short Kimono

A short (mid-thigh length) kimono with patch pockets and belt; the Aegle model is in silk crepe with a Pelican Bay print.
The kimono is a signature piece in the Fête Impériale wardrobe. For the spring-summer 2024 collection, Blue Sand, la Maison presents its new model, the Aegle short kimono. Made in silk crepe for a light, fluid fit, this kimono is adorned with the collection's iconic Pelican Bay print, featuring a Namibian landscape where dunes meet the ocean. Ideal as a bathing suit, after a trip to the beach or pool, over the coordinated naiade swimsuit , it can also be worn in the city as an overshirt or jacket, belted or unbelted.
For its printed models, Fête Impériale works with a technique known as placé, so that each piece presents the print in the same way in the same place.

The Aegle kimono is designed in our studio in the heart of the Marais district and is made in a partner workshop based in Tunisia, employing women exclusively to promote their emancipation through work with fabric made in Italy. We make sure that transport is not by plane.
Eco-responsibility is at the heart of Fête Impériale's commitments. Each of our designs is imagined by our creative team under the guidance of our artistic director, then prototyped by our model-makers in our Paris workshop. With an ever-increasing focus on French and even European manufacturing, Fête Impériale works hand-in-hand with regularly audited partner factories, whose social commitment aims to improve the daily lives of their employees. The choice of materials is also key to guaranteeing the lowest possible ecological impact: that's why Fête Impériale favors natural materials (or recycled ones, for synthetics) and relies on the Oeko-Tex label to audit its production. It is also with this in mind that Fête Impériale relies on series produced in reasoned quantities, thus avoiding the risk of overproduction.
