Bishop Rose - Dress + Headband + Clutch set

…today you visit the astounding St-Denis nursery of renowned botanist Jacques-Louis Descemet. Surrounded by a dazzling array of beautifully cultivated specimens, you brush against their velvety petals and discover one particular bloom, dense with tight folds of rich burgundy and mauve, releases an exquisite scent. You snip one, two, three blooms of “le Rosier Évêque” and arrange them in a loose bouquet to take back to the caretakers cottage…
