Aw, Shucks

Beau Soleil Dresses

What houses gems, goes down easy with champers, and gets your freak on?

Ding, ding, ding! If you said oysters, you’re half right, smarty-pants.

The other correct answer is Beau Soleil, a brand-new line of ecofriendly dresses named after the designer’s favorite — you guessed it — oyster.

From bamboo fabric, vegetable-dyed organic cotton, recycled leather trims, and Tencel (made from eucalyptus trees), Anne Salvatore Epstein has crafted sleek, wearable frocks, while keeping the focus on sustainability and fair trade.

You’ll want to wear Beau Sweat, a sweatshirt dress with a deep V, every. single. day. Throw on Beau Knot, a dark gray strapless number with detachable light gray strap and flower, for your next soiree. Rock Beau Flap, a silhouette with an unsnappable front flap and antique brass tacks, to go from work appropriate to super casual without changing.

Every piece in the collection is totally special, comfortable, and flattering.

Just the thing to lure you out of your shell.
