Dear friend, we are so glad you’ve found us.


Miss Rose Sister Violet is more than a label; it is a world, a family, and a way of seeing life through the lens of beauty.

Ours is a story of artistry and imagination, woven across generations, continents, and decades. And it is also a story that now includes you.

We believe beauty is not frivolous, but essential — a spark that lights the spirit and brings joy to the everyday.

Miss Rose Sister Violet was created to be more than clothing or design: it is poetry you can wear, beauty you can live, and an invitation to step into a world where imagination has no boundaries.

Our journey began in Adelaide, Australia, in 1975, when Tom and Gabriella Kerkez opened their first store, Liberty Bookshop.

Soon after came A Thousand Flowers and Marigold Garden Tea Room — an eclectic, creative haven where Liberty of London fabrics, antiques, and books mingled with cups of tea and conversations that lasted for hours.

It was here that the seeds of Miss Rose Sister Violet were planted: a belief that beauty, imagination, and connection can transform everyday life into something extraordinary.

Nearly fifty years on, that spirit endures.

Today the business is still lovingly guided by Tom and Gabriella in Australia, and by their daughter Yasmin and her husband Michael in Virginia, USA.

Together, across continents and generations, the family continues the same devotion to artistry, romance, and craftsmanship that began all those years ago.

Our collections are at once timeless and modern, garments and treasures that feel as though you are stepping into a painting.

Linen that breathes with poetry, velvet that whispers of quiet luxury, details that awaken joy.

To wear Miss Rose Sister Violet is to live inside a story: one where elegance and whimsy coexist, where individuality is cherished, and where beauty is not reserved for rare moments but woven into daily life.

The name itself carries our philosophy.

Rose and Violet are our “once upon a time” sisters, gentle, kind-hearted souls who lived creatively, surrounded themselves with treasures that made their hearts sing, and believed that nothing in life should ever be ordinary.

They are symbols of every woman we meet: sisters, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, best friends, and kindred spirits.

Women who love beauty, sometimes shyly, sometimes boldly, but always with an instinct that it is beauty which nourishes the soul.

For decades we have met these women at fairs, markets, and shows around the world. We have exchanged stories, shared laughter, and gathered friendships that shimmer like silver and gold. These encounters are the heart of our work: a community bound not by trends, but by a shared love of romance, artistry, and living with intention.

Miss Rose Sister Violet is our invitation to you. To step into a world where life is poetry, where clothing becomes art, and where every detail, from a seam to a velvet ribbon, is touched with soul. It is a reminder that you are worthy of surrounding yourself with beauty, and that in doing so, you carry beauty into the world.

Miss Rose Sister Violet
Poetry you can wear. Beauty you can live.
