Pleats: Know When to Fold ‘Em

From the elite of Fortuny pleats to the kick pleats of main streets, you are in for something sweet when we bring out the pleats!

Knife and accordion, crystal and box, pleats are a cure for the common fold. Sunray, cartridge, organ and cluster—many are even rather bold.

So take some fold comfort in vintage pleats, from discreet to offbeat!
