History
Julian and Catherine Sidonio established the brand in 2008 after discovering a collection of 1920s photographs depicting Julian’s grandmother, Molly Bracken, in Ireland. These archival images provided the creative foundation for the company’s visual identity. The brand contributed to the mid-2000s resurgence of romanticism in mainstream European fashion. It expanded globally by introducing specialized lines for children and teenagers, maintaining a consistent focus on heritage-driven aesthetics within the modern retail landscape.
