Step inside The Velvet Society — where elegance meets ease. Our new duster is cut from plush Celestial Cotton Velvet and tailored with a nod to antique smoking jackets once worn by poets and dreamers alike. Designed to move effortlessly between moments, it layers beautifully over denim and boots for a modern bohemian look, feels utterly at home beside the fire with a book in hand, and is luxurious enough to wear out to an evening at the theatre. Slip it on and you’ll understand why we call it poetry you can wear — soft, luminous, and just a little bit decadent. Welcome to The Velvet Society. Membership, as they say, has its privileges.

About the Print:

Honey & The Moon is our love letter to home — to the spaces we’ve built with our own hands here at Market of Stars,  and the quiet magic that lives in the details. Inspired by the black-and-ivory palette of our little studio and house (styled after a New England church and a century-old general store), this romantic floral design draws from a tangle of 19th-century lithographs — a garden dreamt up in ink. Trimmed in black and scattered with golden bees borrowed from an embossed Victorian book cover, it’s both grounded and celestial: a pattern that feels like moonlight through old glass, or vines climbing weathered wood. A first for us in its totally neutral palette, Honey & The Moon is a departure in tone, but not in spirit. Rooted in the hush and harmony of overgrown gardens and blooming with old-world charm, it invites you to slip into the romance of another time — where beauty was built into the bones of things, and every corner held a story waiting to be found.

Made from our signature 100% cotton velvet, and lined with custom viscose. Dry clean only.

With silent delight

How To Wear

+

Soft as a whispered secret and romantic as moonlight on weathered wood, the Honey & The Moon Velvet Society Duster was made for women who move through the world with quiet magic.

For everyday enchantment:

Slip it over a simple black turtleneck, vintage denim, and worn-in boots for a grounded, old-soul look that feels like stepping into a 19th-century botanical sketch. Add a long pendant or moon-shaped earrings for a subtle starlight glimmer.

For cozy, candlelit days at home:

Layer it over soft knits, fleece-lined leggings, and wool socks as you tend your own wild little garden or curl up in your favourite reading corner. The plush cotton velvet and deep pockets make it the perfect companion for slow mornings, tea rituals, and quiet winter evenings.

For stepping out in quiet glamour:

Wear it as an evening coat over a slinky black slip dress, tailored trousers, or a silk blouse for a sophisticated monochrome moment. Add heeled boots, a swipe of lipstick, and a touch of gold to echo the scattered bees in the print — effortless elegance for dinners, concerts, and holiday nights.

For a softly dramatic silhouette:

Let it flow open to create a long, moonlit sweep as you walk — the kind of quiet drama that looks like poetry in motion. Pair it with wide-leg trousers, a column dress, or monochrome layers underneath to elongate your shape effortlessly. The plush velvet moves with a gentle weight, adding a hint of theatre without ever feeling overdone.

For the travellers and dreamers:

Bring it along on autumn weekends away, where worn leather bags and wool scarves meet star-bright nights. It layers beautifully over chunky sweaters and dresses, and the fully lined interior adds that little bit of warmth on crisp evening walks.

In every season:

Honey & The Moon plays well with everything — knits in winter, linen separates in spring, airy camisoles on summer nights, and all the moody textures of fall. However you style it, it brings a hush of old-world romance to your day… a reminder that every corner holds a story waiting to be found.

Our Muse

+

The old soul, the romantic. Women who tend wild gardens and light candles in old windows, who listen for the stories tucked into timeworn corners. Women who live where memory and magic meet.

More Inspo

In the 1800s, botanical etchings were more than scientific records — they were quiet odes to the natural world. Each print was created using a laborious process: artists drew directly onto lithographic stones, then the image was pressed in black ink and often hand-painted with delicate watercolours. Many of the artists were women whose names are lost to history, though their beautiful work still blooms across the page.

During the same era, the language of flowers — floriography — became a wildly popular way of sending coded messages to loved ones using hidden meanings. Roses spoke of love and longing; carnations, admiration; tulips, affection and grace. Poppies were tied to rest and remembrance, while passionflowers carried echoes of devotion. 

The floral fragments in Honey & The Moon were carefully collected from these 19th-century lithographs, then layered into a dreamscape of black and ivory to create an old world garden of meanings… reimagined for those who still speak its language.
