Flower Dress Anna
More than 400 individual crocheted flowers, each made by hand from cotton yarn inherited from great-grandmother Anna. This dress is the heart of the HESSENCE ERITAGE collection and the piece that won the Neo.Fashion Best Craftsmanship Award in 2024.
Anna was a passionate crocheter of tablecloths and doilies. Her yarn sat in storage for decades before Marie-Louise turned it into something entirely new. Each flower connects the present to a craft tradition that spans generations.

Technique: Hand-crocheted, 400+ individual pieces assembled by hand
Production time: 320 hours of detailed handwork
One of a kind. Each garment is handcrafted in the Berlin atelier. Care: dry clean only.

A made-to-order atelier commission, faithfully recreated by hand, in-house, in our Berlin atelier. After your order our team arranges a personal video call with Marie-Louise; work begins only once you have agreed the piece and its timeline together, and your full payment is refundable until then.
Every piece arrives with its authentic woven neck label and care instructions, and carries a lifetime repair promise upheld in dialogue with the atelier.
