Greek Archaic Kori

Founded in Athens in 2017 by designer Stavroula Giannoulatou, Greek Archaic Kori brings the spirit of the Greek summer into beautifully considered resort wear. Designed and produced at the brand's Athens headquarters, each collection is rooted in the landscapes and atmosphere of Greece; from brilliant sunshine and clear seas, to the islands and the gentle movement of the Mediterranean breeze.

There is also fascinating Greek history behind the brand’s unique name. 'Kori' refers to the kore, another name for maiden during Greece's Archaic period; often depicted in flowing, draped garments, these figures have a sense of graceful movement that feels remarkably relevant to the brand today. It is this effortless, feminine silhouette that can be seen throughout Greek Archaic Kori's collections, where relaxed shapes replace restrictive tailoring and fabric is allowed to move naturally with the body.

At Jane Young, this connection between heritage and modern resort dressing is one of the things we particularly love about the brand. Greek Archaic Kori feels unmistakably Mediterranean, yet the pieces are designed with a timelessness that makes them much more versatile than traditional holiday clothing.

With its focus on high-quality design at an accessible luxury price point, Greek Archaic Kori has grown into an internationally recognised label, now stocked by boutiques and department stores across the world. For us, it is a beautiful addition to the Jane Young collection for women who want their summer wardrobe to feel relaxed, distinctive and effortlessly elegant.

Greek Archaic Kori currently sizes from XS to L, offering a deliberately relaxed fit.
Flowing dresses, kaftans, tunics and wide-leg separates are designed with generous, easy silhouettes, meaning that more than one size may work depending on the style and the amount of volume you prefer. Your choice is therefore not always simply about finding the closest numerical measurement; it can also be about how you want the garment to sit and move.

As Greek Archaic Kori uses its own XS–L sizing, we recommend checking the individual item’s measurements rather than automatically assuming that the letters correspond exactly to your usual high-street size. This is particularly important when ordering online.

We would much rather give you accurate measurements than a generic conversion, so if you're unsure which size to choose, please call our Jane Young store on: 01636 703511. Our team can talk through the fit of a particular piece, provide measurements and, if you're local, invite you to visit us in Newark to try it for yourself.

We don't buy every piece from every collection; at Jane Young, we carefully select a considered edit from the wider Greek Archaic Kori collection, choosing the styles we believe will work beautifully for our customers and their wardrobes.

That personal curation is particularly useful with a collection built around relaxed, flowing shapes. If you're unsure how a particular style will fit, you're welcome to visit us in Newark and try it before you buy. Our experienced stylists can help you choose the right size and show you different ways to wear the pieces, whether you're shopping for an upcoming holiday or simply looking to bring something new into your summer wardrobe.

We can also help you build a complete look from across our collection of more than fifty designer brands. Perhaps your Greek Archaic Kori dress needs a belt, your embroidered blouse would work beautifully with denim, or you need the perfect bag and accessories to finish the outfit.

For customers who prefer to shop from home, we're always happy to help with sizing and measurements before you order. Simply call us on: 01636 703511. And if anything needs tweaking, our in-house alterations service can help with the finishing touches.

With local returns and free click and collect available too, we want shopping with Jane Young to feel as easy and personal online as it does in store.
