Modern Classic

Modern classic is our latest collection to launch online and it's already been a firm favourite at the spring trade shows. With chic and simplistic designs, inspiration has been drawn from SS16 collections including Christian Dior, Eudon Choi and Emperio Armani. 

Think lightweight modal and soft cotton material, with frayed edges and subtle prints. These scarves are for the woman who opts for versatile accessories which she can easily add to her outfits for work to the weekend.

The colour pallette is a mixture of neutrals and pastels which are always popular at this time of year. These muted tones look great mixed with darker tones such as navy and grey as you can see from our outfit builds below.

Grey & beige scarf

Bohemian Belle

The first of many of our 'inspired by' collections to come, Bohemian Belle captures the free spirit of the creative character, focusing on intricate and colorful designs mixed with softer feather features which represent the wanderer lifestyle.

Our favourite key influencers of this look are Etro, Gucci and Coach as shown below - paisley print, ethnic floral designs and swirl patterns are a key focus of this trend and should be teamed with free flowing fabrics, tassle and lace details that are associated with the gypsy wanderer look.  

Our collection features bright hand designed prints with a focus on silks that portray the free spirited bohemian beliefs.  This look is key for spring summer and is a great way to bring a vibrancy into stores which will capture and inspire the customer.

Our next collection Modern Classic will be launching very soon so keep an eye out for that!

Fresh for Spring

Hello!

We are starting the spring season with a fresh look on the website. This includes our look book section which will reveal each of our new collections over the next couple of months. Our first one features our Bohemian Belle collection which was a lot of fun to shoot at Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. If you haven't seen our look book yet, take a look here and look out for more to come!

We are also revamping our blog which is going to include some exciting new features. You will be able to find out more about our team and what we do, as well as getting fashion updates and inspiration for merchandising your stores.

This weekend has been a very busy one for Edinburgh's boutiques who are taking part in Edinburgh Fashion Week. The launch included several catwalk shows held at The Mound which has drawn in a huge number of locals. Pop-up shops within the marquee were also a hit with Scottish fashionistas, with our scarves proving to be popular at Kakao by K. Some of Edinburgh's top bloggers who were in attendance were impressed with our spring designs and commented on softness of our scarves. They picked out their favourites which you can see below.
