DESIRE FOR DUENDE A/W 24/25

´AND WHEN IN DOUBT-BE EXTREME´. GENESIS P-ORRIDGE

Duende – the intangible thing that moves us in art, the act of possessing soul and the power to attract through personal magnetism and beauty. A word strongly evoked by our latest collection Desire For Duende. Roberta’s designs are released as always in limited numbers and with beautiful, ethically sourced and unique fabrics with focus on a dramatic yet versatile black and red colour palette. Along with traditional floral print with roses, commonplace in national Slavic costumes as well as detailed hand pressed glass buttons, all honouring the importance of Roberta’s Slavic heritage and aesthetic and cultural influences. The collection includes our brand’s memorable, custom-made rose applique motiff, with roses symbolising love and passion.
 
 Accessories of Desire for Duende garments this season include clutch bags and handwarmers to complement each look. Carefully curated, the collection includes floral prints, seductive black lace, our classic high waisted dirndl style skirts, the cherryfic and hotly anticipated return of Roberta’s handmade cherry embellishments! To compliment the Desire For Duende wearable art collection, we have styled this season with renowned sculptor Andrew Logan´s one of a kind jewellery. 
 

What our customers say

5/5
It was great to meet Roberta and hear more about the brand. I owned several pieces already and we talked about what would work well with what I already had, but there was no pressure to buy. Roberta was very friendly, helpful and clearly passionate about quality and design, I love the zero waste policy and the ethos of designing pieces that people will wear for years.

If I could give Roberta more stars, I would. I think Im on item No.7 now. Her designs are flawlessly elegant. Not only are the garments made with precise detail, Roberta will always answer any questions you have promptly! I’m so glad our paths crossed as I’m hooked on Roberta’s 40s/50s burlesque twist!

5/5
A fantastic opportunity to have Roberta talk you through the brand and her stunning designs, listen to your colour and style preferences, and advise on sizing and styling of her pieces. This ensures the pieces you buy are perfect for you. She was even able to show me the different colour rose options on different colour garments so I knew I was ordering my favourite. Fantastic service, Roberta, thank you!
