The Calla Lilly Coat
MADE TO FIT YOU:
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll confirm your perfect fit before it ships.
The Calla Lily Coat is built around the idea of natural form — not stark, not sterile, but organic. A sculptural wrap silhouette inspired by the calla lily, a flower long associated with blessing, clarity, and inner strength.
Inspiration
The concept of the wrap emerged in response to landscape, wind, and ritual experience through a design journey through Africa.

The Aelse
Difference
Every Aelse piece is created in small batches — shaped by careful hands, scarce fabrics, and techniques that honor where they come from. We make clothing that stays with you through shifting seasons, restless cities, and the many versions of you.
Why We Make This Way
Longevity before novelty
Aelse is not priced for impulse. It is priced for women who choose with intention.
Pieces that learn you
Leather that softens, knits that settle, fabrics that remember your touch. A piece becomes yours because it stays long enough to hold your story.
Minimal waste,
meaningful production
Some pieces are crafted on demand. This lowers excess, avoids landfill cycles, and protects the integrity of our makers.
Aelse is made for women who move — through cities, seasons, and selves — and choose clothing that moves with them.
Women who repair what they love. Who build wardrobes with memory. Who understand that longevity is its own kind of luxury.
What you can expect
A considered timeline
Because our pieces are made slowly, some orders may take a little longer. A few weeks now means years of wear later.
Small-batch quality
We work with ateliers, cultural partners, and independent makers who specialize in long-lasting craft.
A fit made for you
Share your measurements at checkout — we tailor our recommendations to reduce returns and ensure a piece you’ll keep.
Small batches. Scarce fabrics.
Scarcity with honesty
When fabrics and materials run out, we don’t replace them. Some pieces won’t return.

Good things take time.
In-stock pieces typically arrive within 5–10 business days. Made-to-order garments and artisan items may take longer — up to 21 days — and each piece’s timeline is listed on its product page.
Because our work comes from different makers around the world, your order may arrive in separate packages, each dispatched as soon as it’s ready.
If timing matters, message us anytime. We’ll always be transparent and help guide you.
Thoughtful fit is part of thoughtful service.
To help ensure your piece fits beautifully, add your bust, waist, hips, height, weight, and any notes (like “prefer oversized” or “one size up on the bomber”) in the cart drawer or cart page before checkout.
Our team reviews every detail before shipment — because confidence should never need adjustment.
