Hold Fast Pixie Duster Cropped Kimono w/ Boat

“Hold Fast” Short Kimono – A Tribute to Courage and the Sea

This evocative piece tells a story of resilience, strength, and hope. The centerpiece of the design is an antique lithograph depicting a Victorian woman rowing through a storm — a timeless symbol of endurance. A majestic Brig ship, based on an 1851 painting by Fitz Henry Lane, sails alongside vintage lettering and seagulls from an 1882 ship merchant poster. The sun and rainbow, drawn from an antique postcard of the same era, add a touch of warmth and optimism.

To complete the design, we used a reconstructed 200-year-old textile fragment featuring celestial suns, moons, and stars — origin unknown, but full of mystery and magic. The phrase “Hold Fast”, a traditional seafaring motto often tattooed across sailors’ knuckles, serves as a powerful talisman: a reminder to hang on tight — you’ll get through the storm.
