Darling Buds: Our Butter Yellow Clothing Collection
Inspired by the vibrant energy of Arasta Bazaar in Istanbul, Darling Buds is a butter yellow floral print that pays homage to traditional markets rich in colour, scent, and cultural texture—capturing the beauty of tea stalls and dried florals. Drawing from a ceramics atelier visit, it reflects the intricate artistry witnessed firsthand, where artisans demonstrated their fine detailing techniques. Echoing our commitment to artisanal storytelling, this print blends market discoveries with handmade elements, creating a rich, authentic tapestry of Turkish artistry.

Darling Buds fuses blushing blooms in hues of periwinkle and lemon, artisanal porcelain vases and gilt scrollwork into a harmonious butter yellow tableau. It incorporates ceramic-inspired detailing within the border, while subtle motifs like hand-drawn leopard heads and artisanal flourishes add intrigue and texture throughout. The result is richly layered butter yellow floral dresses, separates and accessories.
“The air is sweet with inspiration at the Arasta Bazaar and I am transfixed by the artisans at work. Nurturing hands cajole and shape ceramics. Wrists twist embroidering lace. Mastery is in motion and art adorns every corner. I breathe deeply as floral scents slink into the aromatic atmosphere. It’s a perfume born of petals, spices and labours of love that I would happily wear forever.”
—Founder and Creative Director, Camilla Franks
