Da Luna London

What's on the rails

Start with the outerwear. Puffers come with fur collars or cuffs that detach, and there are cropped leather jackets, bombers, capes, coats and blazers. Kimonos and kimono jackets are cut from jacquard, patterned cotton or floral fabric. Beyond those, look for beaded or embroidered vests, skirts, dresses, shirts and trousers. Leather bags, belts and caps round things off, and separate Wedding and One of a Kind edits sit alongside.

The mud-dyed silk line

One collection uses a Guangdong fabric the brand calls xiang yun sha, also known as gambiered silk. The brand describes the process. The silk soaks in a yam-root dye, dries in the sun and is then coated in Pearl River mud. The finished cloth is glossy black on one side and terracotta on the other. According to the label, Hong introduced this silk to London.

Before you order

Orders are dispatched within 3 working days of payment. Standard UK post takes 3 to 7 working days for £5. It becomes free once a basket passes £1,000. Overseas rates depend on region. For Europe it's £10 or £20, and for most other countries £20 or £40. Middle East addresses pay £40 or £80. Customers abroad cover any import duties themselves.

Returns have to be requested by email within 14 days of the parcel arriving. Pieces must be unworn and tagged, in their original packaging, and the buyer pays to send them back. Personalised items, reduced-price pieces and gift cards are final. Once a return is approved, the money goes to the payment method used within 10 business days.

Anyone in London can visit the boutique at 3 Paddington Street, which opens every day of the week.
