A Nostalgic Take on Heritage Style — Featuring Timeless White Embroidery & Modern Matching Moments
As a Texan living in Singapore, I often find myself reaching for pieces that feel like home—something timeless, effortless, and full of heart. That sentiment is at the core of everything I create for Sette, and this latest drop might just be the most personal one yet.
The Edlen Collection is inspired by an old photograph of my grandmother and mother in 1960s Dallas. It’s one of those images that tells a whole story—my grandmother, graceful and composed in an outfit classic yet full of personality, standing tall with her well-dress children beaming at her side. It’s classic. It’s warm. It’s everything I wanted to capture in this collection.
But beyond the inspiration, what truly makes this drop special is the fabric. Every piece is crafted in white floral embroidery—a texture that feels heirloom-worthy yet incredibly wearable. It’s feminine, elevated, and quietly dramatic. The kind of fabric that looks just as good barefoot on a lawn as it does dressed up for Sunday brunch.
The Hero Piece: The Merrie Dress
At the heart of this collection is the Merrie Dress, named after my late grandmother, Merrie, who had the most elegant presence of anyone I’ve ever known. She loved a long, flowing dress, and I designed this one to feel just as special as she always did.
The Merrie Dress features a romantic- God was she romantic- full-length silhouette with removable puff sleeves—so you can switch between soft drama and minimal ease depending on your mood. It’s a piece that feels both nostalgic and new, something you’ll reach for again and again whether you're headed to a family event or just want to feel stunning on a slow Sunday afternoon.
It’s my way of honoring her spirit and bringing a bit of that old-world grace into the now.
Mommy & Me, Reimagined
As a mom, I know how hard it can be to find matching outfits that feel elevated—not kitschy. With the Edlen Collection, I wanted to create chic matching moments that feel timeless and thoughtful. The kids’ pieces mirror the softness of the women’s designs, with just the right amount of detail to make your mini feel part of something special.
This isn’t about dressing up just for the photo—it’s about creating memories in pieces that mean something.
