Hold Fast Cropped Kimono Jacket - Lovers of Storms & Seas

This striking cropped kimono from Market of Stars carries with it a story of courage, hope, and light through the storm. At its heart is an antique lithograph of a Victorian woman rowing steadily through turbulent waters — a timeless symbol of tenacity and grace.

Her journey is surrounded by rich details gathered from history: a Brig ship painted by Fitz Henry Lane in 1851, vintage lettering and soaring seagulls from an 1882 ship merchant’s poster, and a radiant rainbow and sun from an antique postcard of the same era. The trim is woven with mystery, reimagined from a 200-year-old textile fragment adorned with suns, moons, and stars.

Emblazoned across the design is the phrase “Hold Fast” — a powerful seafaring mantra once tattooed on sailors’ knuckles, a talisman of strength and a reminder to keep your calm, no matter how wild the waves.

Slip it on as a wearable story — part history, part art, all heart.
