This is exactly what you get with the Petite Plume x Tkees collection, which launches May 11th and is available for purchase at both petiteplume.com and tkees.com. Here, three never-before-seen styles of Tkees’ legendary Lily sandals, navy French ticking, cabana stripes, and navy white straps, serve as key components of Petit Plume’s large yacht club capsule. This capsule is chock-full of nautical-inspired nightgowns, sleep masks, robes, and pajamas for the whole family, created with your upcoming summer rituals (on and off the high seas) in mind.

Keith’s hero Lily’s silhouette has been spotted on the feet of everyone from Shay Mitchell and Jennifer Lopez to Kylie Jenner and Alix Earle. There’s a reason stars love it. These leather sandals boast a buttery-soft, second-skin feel and are flexible enough to easily pack into your overnight bag, benefiting from a cushioned sole that keeps comfort top of mind despite Lily’s understated appearance.

Each of the three Petite Plume x Tkees models is handcrafted in Brazil and features superior traction to prevent unfortunate slips on deck or trips in the sand. Whether you opt for bold cabana stripes, intricate French ticking in navy and white, or an all-over navy option, the prints all pay homage to “lazy mornings and long weekends by the coast,” according to the marketing copy.
