PIPER No. 009
The Sultan's Garden.

The piper is not merely worn it’s composed. A symphonic garment in three movements: overskirt, cape, and strapless overdress. Designed to shift with you, your rhythm, your ritual, your reinvention. This metamorphic silhouette is part sculpture, part story..

A mythic escape through storytelling textiles, Piper No. 009 evokes a secret court beneath silken canopy, a whisper of empire, a hush of hibiscus. One side features a rare scene rendered in tapestry figures in repose, incense curling through vines of celadon and crimson, stories told in gesture. The other side balances the visual tale with a delicate red and cream floral textile that mimics ancient paper lanterns or embroidered medallions, softening the power of the image with ornamental grace.

Adjustable and reversible, this over-skirt/cape transforms with the mood: cinematic, ceremonial, or sweetly subversive. Wear the storyteller forward for drama or reverse to let the bloom speak gently. Finished with long black grosgrain ties, a hoodie-style pocket, and an elasticated waistband, it’s equally wearable over dresses, jeans, or as a cape. Each side captures a different tempo, but both carry the legacy of Alexandria Black’s reverence for craft, culture, and wearable myth.

Piper is made to complement a broad range of body shapes and sizes (US 2–14). Perfectly styled over a slip dress, jeans, or even worn as a cape - just flip and tie.

Fully reversible and designed to be worn three ways:
• An overskirt, adding sculptural texture to any base layer
• A cape, cascading like a cloak of memory
• A strapless overdress, bold and self-contained, layered or bare

The structured textiles offer dimensional volume when gathered, or an elegant, architectural drape when worn loosely. Adjustable grosgrain ribbons allow each wearer to tailor the fit. Tied into soft bows, left trailing, or trimmed and reimagined as an accessory; worn as a choker or wrist ribbon. A raw-edged hem preserves the integrity of the materials while lending refined ease to the silhouette.

Piper is a living composition of rescued textiles. A wearable narrative designed to be seen, styled, and passed down. Luxurious remnants originally created for high-end interior design and couture fashion houses. These include richly woven jacquards, baroque brocades, antique velvets, tribal embroideries, and metallic-threaded panels. Many of these materials are no longer in production, making each composition truly rare and unreproducible. They are chosen not only for their beauty and durability but also for their cultural depth and tactile richness.

Each piece is finished with a 14K Gold or Sterling Silver 925 tag and our signature eco-kind woven label for authenticity. Customize your fit with the adjustable grosgrain ribbons (trim to fit), and enjoy the luxury of a velvet hanger and garment bag to store and protect your one-of-a-kind creation.
