Carra | Striped Maxi Dress
ANNIVERSARY SALE UPDATE: Stock is running low due to high demand! If 'Add to cart' is available, it's still in stock!
There's a certain ease that comes with a dress that's already figured itself out. No overthinking, no accessories required, no moment where you second-guess the choice. The Carra is that dress — classic stripe, polished lapel collar, and a maxi length that works as hard on a Tuesday as it does on a Saturday.
The Carra is a long-sleeve maxi dress in a cotton-blend with a timeless striped pattern, lapel collar, straight silhouette, and side pockets. The kind of dress that pairs with sneakers for an easy afternoon and ankle boots for an evening out without changing a single thing in between.
"The lapel collar is what makes the Carra. It takes a classic stripe dress and gives it a reason to be chosen over everything else in the wardrobe. I wear mine with white sneakers and consider the outfit done." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
✔ Lapel collar detail — adds a refined, tailored touch that elevates the striped dress beyond casual and into genuinely considered territory
✔ Classic striped pattern — timeless by design, pairs with sneakers, flats, and boots equally well across every season it's worn
✔ Maxi length straight cut — elongates the silhouette cleanly from shoulder to hem, flattering across body types without requiring anything underneath
✔ Cotton-blend fabric — breathable and comfortable for all-day wear, holds its shape and drape through spring and autumn without feeling heavy
✔ Long sleeves — provides warmth and coverage for cooler days, layers easily under a blazer or over a turtleneck when the temperature drops
✔ Side pockets — discreet, functional, and deep enough to actually use without disrupting the clean line of the dress
The dress that already knows what day it is — and dresses accordingly.

Our Story
Holt & Wren was founded by David Holt and Margaret Wren, high school sweethearts who married in their twenties and spent the next three decades working in textiles and retail before opening their own store. For over 12 years, they've run Holt & Wren from Melbourne with one simple belief: quality shouldn't come with a designer markup. Every piece is chosen the way they'd choose it for their own family — for the fabric, the fit, and how it lasts. No logo tax, just honest craftsmanship.
