There’s a quiet that settles just before the whirlwind. It feels like a soft breath, a pause, the hush of a heart gathering strength. I was in that moment when Sailoress was born.
A sleeveless summer top made for warm skies and salt-kissed breezes, it carries the lightness of stillness, the ease of open water. Simple, elegant and full of quiet grace, it’s what you reach for when everything is about to change, when the world asks you to step aboard, loosen the lines, and sail.
