There are pieces you buy for comfort and pieces you buy because you simply cannot not have them. The Jessie by Celso de Lemos is firmly the second kind.

Its pattern — bold, organic veining in warm gold on a white ground — draws from the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi: the philosophy that breakage and repair are part of an object's history, not something to hide. Here, those golden lines become something to celebrate. The lurex thread gives them a subtle shimmer; the silk in the blend lends the surface a cool luminosity that makes the whole thing glow in morning light.

Backed in Celso's Secret sateen in Ivory 103 and finished with gold or sky blue piping — a small decision that changes everything — the Jessie is one of those rare pieces that looks exactly as good in real life as it does in photographs. Perhaps better.
