Jess Dover x ORTC Launch Luncheon
In August, we celebrated the launch of the Jess Dover X ORTC Collection with an afternoon that perfectly captured the spirit of the range — relaxed luxury, refined timelessness, and a touch of nostalgic charm.
Over Bird in Hand bubbles and a beautifully curated seasonal menu, guests arrived in their styled pieces, bringing the collection to life with effortless elegance. Hosted at The Cottage Kitchen in Adelaide, the space was filled with tones of rich browns, classic blues, and crisp whites, mirroring the collection’s considered palette.
Born from countless conversations, sketches, and shared visions, the Jess Dover X ORTC capsule emerged as a true meeting of minds between Jess and ORTC Head Designer Emma. Together, they explored textures, tones, and silhouettes that would capture the essence of Hamptons heritage — relaxed yet refined, timeless yet versatile. Every detail was considered with the intention of creating pieces that could be worn in more than one way, evolving effortlessly with the wearer’s life and becoming enduring staples for seasons to come.
Guests departed with a curated goodie bag as a small extension of the experience — featuring an Al.ive Body Bundle, a bottle of Bird in Hand sparkling, and incense from Ayu — a little indulgence to continue the afternoon’s moments of style and calm.
It was an afternoon of style, connection, and storytelling — a true reflection of the nostalgic charm, relaxed luxury, and timeless elegance that inspired this capsule.

A Message From Jess
I feel so honoured to be the first collaborator on a collection with ORTC, we worked really closely together on this collection and seeing it come to life is so special. Every piece that we designed we wanted it to be able to pair back effortlessly with one another and it's come together so beautifully. I can't wait to see everyone style their pieces.

“It was the most effortless, organic and authentic collaboration that I could have hoped for. The vision that Jess has and the way she always outfits herself, she sells everything really effortlessly and that has come out in all these beautiful products.
Everything goes back with each other and you can see and what is seemingly quite a small little collection how differently you can style it and bring it all together. So I think that is a testament to the way Jess brings vision to life the palette, every silhouette came together with Jess's vision.
Everything came together really beautifully. So this was a dream.”
– Head Designer, Emma Cherry
An exclusive collection inspired by the nostalgic charm of Hamptons heritage, relaxed luxury and refined timelessness.
