What to know about Camilla

Prints are drawn in-house

Every collection starts with prints hand-drawn and painted by in-house artists, then applied to silk, linen and cotton kaftans, resort dresses, matching sets and swim.

Resort dressing, not minimal basics

The range centres on kaftans, resort dresses and swimwear, often finished with hand-applied crystal embellishment rather than plain fabrications.

Bondi Markets to 55 countries

Camilla Franks began selling hand-printed silk kaftans at Sydney's Bondi Markets in 2004 and still directs the now B Corp-certified label, which sells in about 55 countries.
