From Nightdress to Daydream: The Beauty of Faune
Timeless Nightwear with Vintage Soul: Discover Faune
Where Vintage Elegance Meets Modern Comfort
There are clothes we wear to impress, and then there are those rare garments that make us feel wholly ourselves—uncomplicated, serene, and quietly beautiful. Faune, the British brand that reimagines vintage wear with a refined, modern sensibility, belongs wholeheartedly to the latter. A somewhat new favourite at BISCUIT, Faune is more than a label - it’s a feeling. With every collection, it invites us to embrace softness, to slow down, and to find beauty in the everyday.
We are delighted to welcome Faune back into our spring/summer collection for 2025. As ever, their designs speak not just to the eye but to the soul, blending romantic heritage with thoughtful modern living.
The Quiet Charm of Faune
To wear Faune is to step into a moment of stillness. The brand’s gentle aesthetic draws inspiration from Edwardian and Victorian nightgowns—garments that evoke nostalgia and a sense of story. But rather than simply replicating the past, Faune reinvents it, creating wearable pieces for today’s women and children. Think floaty cotton voile, intricate lace trims, mother-of-pearl buttons, and delicate pintucks that feel both historic and timeless.
What makes Faune so captivating is its subtlety. The colour palette is soft and natural—whispers of white, blush, and faded blue—crafted to soothe rather than shout. Each piece is designed to look as though it has always belonged in your wardrobe, waiting patiently for the right moment to be worn.
Founded by Nicola Green and Delia Kenza, Faune is a deeply personal venture. Nicola, with her extensive background in fashion buying, saw a gap in the market for nightwear that was elegant yet effortless. Delia, who previously led a partnership team at a media communications agency, brought with her a sharp eye for brand storytelling and a deep understanding of how people connect with aesthetics and emotion. Together, they created a label that celebrates grace, nostalgia, and quiet luxury.
A Brand Rooted in Heritage and Heart
Faune’s designs are rooted in the silhouettes and details of vintage sleepwear—high yokes, flowing skirts, lace panels, and gently gathered sleeves. But what truly elevates the brand is its commitment to comfort and wearability. These are not costumes from a bygone era, but contemporary garments made to be lived in, layered, and loved .
Each piece is lovingly crafted in India by skilled artisans who use traditional sewing and embroidery techniques. The use of natural, breathable fabrics like organic cotton and cotton voile ensures that each gown and dress feels as beautiful against the skin as it looks to the eye.
Why we love craftsmanship:
Made with breathable, natural fabrics like organic cotton
Detailed with lace, embroidery, and delicate trims
Created by artisans using traditional sewing techniques
Designed to be cherished for years, not just seasons
Their heirloom quality makes Faune a perfect choice for gifting, too—ideal for new mothers, thoughtful birthdays, or anyone in need of a little luxury and softness.
"The Faune woman dresses not for display, but for feeling. She chooses fabrics that breathe and silhouettes that move with her."
Who Is the Faune Woman?
She is imaginative and quietly confident. She’s the kind of woman who treasures handwritten letters, fresh-cut flowers, and the smell of old books. She wears Faune to unwind after a long day, to lounge with a cup of tea on a Sunday morning, or to drift through a slow summer evening with bare feet on wooden floors.
The Faune woman dresses not for display, but for feeling. She chooses fabrics that breathe and silhouettes that move with her. She finds beauty in simplicity and romance in the everyday. Whether in the countryside or the city, Faune gives her the permission to pause, to soften, and to reconnect with herself.
Faune also speaks to the next generation. Their children’s collection echoes the same dreamy aesthetic—miniature versions of their women’s nightwear, made with equal care and quality. These pieces are not only adorable but beautifully practical—comfortable for sleep, charming for play, and perfect for capturing the fleeting magic of childhood.
Why We Love Faune at BISCUIT
At BISCUIT, we carefully curate pieces that speak to a slower, more considered lifestyle—clothing that elevates the everyday and offers both comfort and elegance. Faune embodies all that we value: craftsmanship, sustainability, timeless beauty, and an unspoken sense of calm.
It is not just about how a garment looks, but how it makes you feel. Faune reminds us that homewear can be just as inspiring as outerwear—and perhaps even more meaningful, because it meets us in our most honest and restful moments. When our customers choose Faune, they’re embracing a different rhythm of life—one that values ease, softness, and authenticity.
The brand also aligns beautifully with our desire to support independent, female-led labels who design with purpose and passion. Faune’s story, from its romantic heritage inspiration to its thoughtful production process, reflects a deep respect for both the wearer and the world around her—garments that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
From Nightdress to Daydream
One of Faune’s many strengths is its versatility. While designed as nightwear, each piece is effortlessly adaptable. Slip into a Faune nightdress on a warm morning, pair it with sandals and a straw hat, and you have the perfect Summer outfit. Add a cardigan and a belt for an autumnal twist, or wear it loose with well-worn boots for a dreamy, lived-in look.
Their pieces blur the line between rest and ritual—ideal for slow weekends, countryside getaways, or simply elevating your day-to-day routine. They are the kind of clothes that invite you to move more gently through the world.

Faune is for dreamers, for romantics, and for anyone who longs for elegance in the everyday. Let yourself drift into their world of gentle textures, thoughtful design, and slow, lovely living.
As the days grow longer and the light turns golden, Faune feels more relevant than ever.
