Hello!
Today I want to talk about one of my favorite lolita fashion brands, Violet Fane. This post will discuss the history of the brand, as well as items I own from it, and then will end with items that I dream of owning!
PT 1: HISTORY !
To begin, Violet Fane is an indie lolita fashion brand founded in 2014 and based in Barcelona, Spain. Their brand concept (taken from the Lolita Collective page, as the brand's own website is private at the time I am making this post) is: "Since the beginning, Violet Fane has specialized in Horror and fantasy themed print series, making dresses, tights and accessories with unique and exclusive print artworks. The Concept of the brand is to find the most mysterious point of view of fantasy, and the most beautiful point of view of horror." As a self-proclaimed "Southern Gothic Lolita" this brand concept speaks to my soul. I find myself connecting deeply with the vintage and mysterious feeling in their pieces.
The name "Violet Fane" comes from a Victorian poet who wrote from 1872-1905. Below are some images of a book where her works were collected. The fleeting & yearning feeling of "Written on Sand" is so heart wrenching! It makes sense that a lolita fashion brand with these vibes took the name of this poet. The poetry and clothing items have the same energy.
Returning to the EGL brand itself: Not too long ago, Violet Fane announced that it was going away. This affected me, and the EGL community at large. Violet Fane is an indie brand, but it is prolific to the point of being sold at Atelier Pierrot. Violet Fane pieces are worn and loved by lolitas all over the world, since the brand makes items that have appeal to a wide variety of aesthetics as well as being size-inclusive. But recently (early 2025), the brand announced it's return! The joy in my local comm was incredible as we all learned of VF's plans to return >u< I am so excited for what the future holds for Violet Fane, so I'll be continuing to follow them and enjoy their work!
PT 2: MY COLLECTION <3
I am a happy owner of a small collection of items from this brand! My most prized item I own from Violet Fane is The Funeral JSK in grey. I also own the corsage broach-clip that matches it. The "Confessionary" necklace, and the "Art Supplies" broach are the other two items I own from Violet Fane.

PT 3: DREAM DRESS ☆
If I was to list all the Violet Fane items I would like to have in my wardrobe, we would be here all day. Suffice it to say that I would love to own anything and everything made by this amazingly talented group of people, if that was possible.
So, I'll end this post with my absolute dream dress. The dress is from the Asylum series. I am specifically looking for the Asylum OP in the White colorway, in the size S-L.
