RECOLUTION knitted dress MARAN LEO organic cotton

RECOLUTION MARAN LEO – the knitted dress that instantly stands out

This is one of those dresses you put on and think: yes, this is just right. The MARAN LEO from RECOLUTION has a beautiful knitted-in animal print – not a print on top, but a jacquard pattern created by the knitting process itself. That’s what makes it special. Made from 100% organic cotton, soft on the skin, and ethically produced in Portugal. We love that! Don’t you?

That print – explaining why it’s so cool

The leo print of the MARAN is not a print applied to the fabric, but a jacquard pattern knitted into it. This means: it doesn't wear off, doesn't fade, and feels the same on both sides. The pattern runs throughout the entire dress, including the ribbed cuffs on the sleeves and the hem. This gives the dress beautiful contours and a polished finish. Subtly edgy, you could say :-)

Fit & styling

The MARAN LEO has a round neckline and a loose regular fit – not tight, but not baggy either. It drapes beautifully and gives you freedom of movement. Great with thick tights and boots for autumn and winter, or with sneakers for a casual everyday look. And honestly? This is the kind of dress you put on in the morning and won't want to take off in the evening.

This garment runs true to size.

The MARAN LEO generally runs true to size. Keep in mind that knitted cotton fabrics can stretch slightly while being worn – that is perfectly normal, and it will return to its original shape after washing. Still have doubts about the size? No worries! Get in touch; we are here to help you find the ideal size! I am wearing a size L in the photo.

Material & care

Made from 100% organic cotton, GOTS-certified and ethically produced in Portugal. Completely vegan – no animal materials. For care: do not wash too often, use a small amount of detergent, and do not put it in the dryer. Gently pull the dress into shape after washing and let it dry flat. PRO TIP: place a thin towel under the dress while drying flat to prevent marks from the drying rack. It is also better to store it folded in your closet so it doesn't lose its shape. Need extra tips?

Please note: snagging in knitted fabrics

Knitted fabrics can be susceptible to snagging from jewelry, bag straps, or rough surfaces. This is normal and fortunately easy to fix. With a wonder needle (snag repair tool), you can easily pull the snag back inside without damaging your dress.
