Its puff-sleeved maxi dresses, flowy midi skirts and other summer silhouettes are straight out of bohemian style; beautiful patterns and compelling prices – Alémais also claims to emphasize sustainability – have quickly And has deservedly generated a passionate fan base and impressive wholesale reach.
