Monica Nera is a slow-fashion brand which aims to oppose the growing disposability of clothing. They use sustainable fabrics compliant with Fair Trade standards, and every piece is sewn in their atelier in Warsaw, Poland, by a very talented team of seamstresses who work closely with the founder, Monica.

We can’t help but think of days spent in the sunshine in the Black Maya Maxi Dress with its feminine silhouette and chic colorway. Crisp cotton with a touch of stretch takes this silhouette up a notch, and the fun and flirty oversized ruffles at the shoulders keep things light. This breezy, A-line stunner is a necessity when the days get hot and you need to stay cool. Style with sandals and sunnies for a casual look and switch to espadrilles for an elevated but easy vibe.
