Odyssey

Discover Spring 23 ‘Odyssey’: an ode to the spirit of adventure.

Singing of escapes to far-flung places, ‘Odyssey’ is a love letter to the allure of a grand sojourn.

While designing the collection, Aje Co-founders Edwina Forest and Adrian Norris found themselves reminiscing on summers spent seeking respite in the idyllic isles of Greece. Enchanted by a shared sense of escapism entwined with the islands’ ancient aura, the creation of ‘Odyssey’ began.
