Shop POM Amsterdam at The Tartan Fox: What You'll Find
When you shop POM Amsterdam at The Tartan Fox, you're browsing a hand-picked slice of a Dutch brand built on hand-painted prints and natural fabrics.
POM Amsterdam is a Netherlands-based womenswear label founded in 2011 by sisters Liesbeth and Violet Lotgering, known for hand-painted prints designed to make women feel beautiful and strong.
What POM Amsterdam Is Known For
Prints with a painterly, hand-drawn quality, natural fibres like linen and viscose, and details that flatter rather than fuss. Puff sleeves, bow ties, embroidery and bold florals show up season after season, always wearable rather than costume-like. The brand also uses certified fibres such as LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and Birla Livaeco.
Who These Pieces Are For
These are for the woman who wants a piece that does the talking so she doesn't have to. If you're 48 and worried boutiques only cater to twenty-somethings, POM Amsterdam is the opposite of that problem: the cuts are generous, the prints are sophisticated, and the styling works for school pick-up, the office and a long lunch.
The POM Amsterdam Pieces Hand-Picked for Our Shelves
Every piece below is in stock now, and each earns its keep in a real wardrobe.
POM Amsterdam Dress in Crane Birds Blue

Made from 86% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and 14% polyamide, it's soft against the skin and holds its shape. At $169.00, it's a versatile piece for various occasions. Shop the Crane Birds Blue dress
POM Amsterdam Blouse in Shine Lilies Pink

POM Amsterdam Linen Shorts in Paradise
A colourful floral short in a 56% linen, 44% viscose blend, cut to mid-thigh with front pleats, side pockets and criss-cross belt loops.

How to Style a Printed Blouse So It Works All Week
The trick with a printed blouse is to let it be the loudest thing you're wearing, then build a quiet frame around it. Take the Shine Lilies Pink blouse: Monday, tuck it into tailored black trousers with flat loafers.
How to Wear Bold Colours Without Overdoing It
Bold colour works best when you give it one job. Pick a single statement piece, whether that's a crane-print dress or a pink puff-sleeve blouse, and keep everything else neutral: denim, black, white, tan.
Cool-toned blues and pinks flatter most complexions, which is why the Crane Birds Blue and Shine Lilies Pink pieces are so easy to wear.

Shoes to Wear With a Statement Outfit
Shoes either finish a statement outfit or ruin it, and after 29 years of fashion industry experience, I can tell you the difference comes down to one question: do you want the shoes to compete or to support? Here's how we'd pair each POM Amsterdam piece with footwear.
The Rule: One Voice Per Outfit
A printed dress or bold blouse is already speaking. If your shoes speak at the same volume, the outfit becomes an argument. So the default is a clean, quiet shoe that lets the print lead, unless the garment gives you permission to pull a colour out, which the Embroidery Sky dress does.
Crane Birds Blue Dress, White Sneaker or Tan Sandal
The blue crane print on a white ground is crisp and graphic, so it wants a shoe that stays out of the way. A white leather sneaker keeps it casual; swap to a tan leather sandal with a low block heel for a spring wedding.
Shine Lilies Pink Blouse, Loafers, Sneakers or a Heel
Because the blouse is a top, your shoe choice shifts with whatever you pair it with:
- With tailored black trousers, a flat leather loafer. The pink does the talking, the loafer keeps it office-appropriate.
- With straight-leg blue jeans, a white sneaker. Casual, effortless, no deliberation required.
- With a high-waisted black skirt, a black heel, ideally a slim strap or pointed toe. The pointed toe lengthens the leg, which matters with a high waist.
Embroidery Sky Dress, Colourful Heel or Strappy Sandal
The black maxi with embroidered birds is the one piece in the range that invites colour into your shoes. Pick one of the embroidery colours, a warm red, a teal, a mustard, and repeat it in a heel, finished with a neutral slouchy clutch.
Linen Shorts in Paradise, Sneakers or Colourful Heels
This is the double-duty pair. With a basic tee and white sneakers, they're a hot-day casual short. With a black top and a colourful heel, they dress up for dinner. The mid-thigh cut means a heel with a bit of height balances the leg line better than a flat.
Heel Height, Toe Shape and the Details That Matter
A few practical rules we give customers in the boutique:
- Pointed toes lengthen, round toes relax. Dressier read, go pointed. Casual, go round or a sneaker.
- A block heel beats a stiletto with a printed dress, more stable on grass and gravel, and it reads relaxed rather than try-hard.
- Match your shoe to your bag's formality, not its colour. A straw bag with a satin heel looks confused; a leather crossbody with a sneaker looks deliberate.
Casual Outfit Ideas With a Statement Piece
Casual doesn't mean plain. The easiest formula is one statement piece plus three basics:
- Linen Shorts in Paradise + white tee + white sneakers + straw bag
- Shine Lilies Pink blouse + straight-leg blue jeans + tan sandals + gold hoops
- Crane Birds Blue dress + denim jacket + white sneakers + crossbody bag
Each is quick to put together, which matters when you're juggling work and family.
The pieces that earn their place in your wardrobe are the ones that work in multiple outfits. Every POM Amsterdam piece we stock is selected for its versatility.
Sizing, Materials and Care Before You Buy
This section provides important details to help you decide whether a piece actually works for you.
How POM Amsterdam Sizing Actually Runs
The range is designed for a woman's body, and many customers find their usual size fits well. POM Amsterdam runs true to size, but the fit varies slightly by style:
POM Amsterdam Dress in Crane Birds Blue →
- Dresses, cut generously through the hip and bust. Between sizes and prefer a closer line? Size down.
- Blouses, relaxed through the body with a defined shoulder. The puff sleeve adds visual width, so if you're broad-shouldered, take your usual size rather than sizing up.
- Shorts, the linen and viscose blend has a little give but no stretch, so measure your hip at the fullest point and match it to the chart.
Our core styles run from 34EU (6AU) through to 42EU (14AU). If you sit above that range, message us before you order, we'll tell you honestly whether a style will work.
Measuring Yourself Properly
Use a soft tape and keep it level, not pulled tight. Measure your bust at the fullest point, your waist at the narrowest point (usually just above the navel), and your hips at the fullest point, roughly 20cm below the waist. Compare those numbers in centimetres against the size chart on each product page.
Fabric Behaviour: What to Expect After the First Wash
Natural fibres have distinct characteristics, and understanding them can help with garment care:
- LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose (the Crane Birds Blue dress is 86% ECOVERO™ viscose, 14% polyamide), soft, fluid and breathable. It can relax slightly with wear and spring back after washing; the polyamide helps it hold its shape rather than sag.
- 100% viscose (the Embroidery Sky dress), beautiful drape, but the most delicate fibre in the range. It creases, it doesn't love heat, and it needs treating gently.
- Linen-viscose blend (the Linen Shorts in Paradise are 56% linen, 44% viscose), the linen gives structure and breathability, the viscose softens the crunch. Expect a few natural creases; that's the character of the fabric, not a fault.
Care Instructions That Actually Protect Your Purchase
| Piece | Fabric | Care | Watch Out For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crane Birds Blue Dress | 86% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 14% polyamide | Machine wash 30°C gentle cycle, iron inside out, never above 110°C | Wash with similar colours. |
| Shine Lilies Pink Blouse | Lightweight, breathable | Gentle wash, cool iron | Iron the puff sleeve from the inside. |
| Embroidery Sky Dress | 100% viscose | Hand wash only, do not iron | The embroidery is delicate, never tumble dry. |
| Linen Shorts in Paradise | 56% linen, 44% viscose | Machine wash 30°C, no dryer | Line dry in shade; iron while slightly damp. |
Turn prints inside out before washing, skip the dryer entirely, and never iron directly over embroidery or a bow tie. If you're unsure, hand washing in cool water is a safe option.
