An abstract botanical print in cobalt blue and grass green, drawn in thick wavy outlines across an off-white ground. The shapes read as oversized petals and leaves rather than any literal flower, with solid dots marking the centres, and the scale is large enough that no two panels of the top look quite the same.
The cloth is light and fluid with a slight transparency, so the top falls away from the body instead of clinging. Gathering at the shoulder and a narrow band at the cuff give the three-quarter sleeves a soft blouson shape, and the hem curves down at the back with short splits at the sides.

Bold prints, genuine personality, and a fit that actually works.
Smashed Lemon was born on the streets of Amsterdam in 2007. Two entrepreneurs started out the way the best things often do — at markets, festivals, their own small stores — staying close to real women with real opinions about what they actually want to wear. That directness shaped everything about the brand: the remarkable prints, the silhouettes that flatter, and a price point that never feels like a compromise.
What drew us to Smashed Lemon at Boetiek is that same quality — clothes made by people who genuinely love dressing women well. The knitwear is considered. The coats have character. The separates earn their place in a real wardrobe. We stock a carefully edited selection that feels right for the Cape Town way of life: effortless enough for a Saturday on Kloof Street, polished enough for everything else.
From market stalls in Amsterdam to boutiques around the world.
From those early Amsterdam market days, Smashed Lemon has grown into a fully-fledged Dutch label stocked by curated boutiques across Europe and beyond. But the founding instinct never left: make clothes that work for real life, at a price that feels honest. Each season brings something worth getting excited about — whether it is a new print, a coat that drapes perfectly, or a knit you reach for every other day.
I have loved Smashed Lemon for many years — long before it came to Boetiek. There was a time when the only place to find it was a little shop in Plettenberg Bay, and I can tell you honestly: I could not drive through Plett without stopping in. Every single time. It was the prints that got me first — so distinctive, so unlike anything else on the rack — and then the quiet confidence of the whole thing. A brand that knew exactly what it was, and did not need to shout about it. Bringing Smashed Lemon to Boetiek felt less like a business decision and more like finally sharing something I had been keeping to myself. — Sonia, Owner and Curator
