In Greek mythology, Alcyone watched over the Mediterranean Sea, calming the winds during the Halcyon Days — that rare winter moment when the waters rest in perfect serenity.

Her story is one of deep devotion: she loved her husband, Ceyx, so fiercely that, upon learning of his death, she threw herself into the sea to join him. Moved by their love, the gods transformed them both into kingfishers, forever united above the waves — a tale of love, of calm, and of seas capable of softening even the wildest winds.

This turquoise kimono jacket reimagines Alcyone’s legend through three embroidered gestures, each carrying a fragment of her myth: a compass rose on the front, guiding the gaze; a crystal kingfisher on the back, shimmering at the centre; and a trio of crystal waves softly crossing at the waist, echoing the serene horizon of the Mediterranean.

A piece of pure art-à-porter — born from myth and designed for the loving woman whose confidence is calm, grounded, and quietly powerful. For the one who knows the strength of her presence without ever having to raise her voice.
