To a Victorian Summer
“Founded in 2016 by Batsheva Hay, Batsheva plays with American styles of feminine dress – from Victorian to Pioneer; from Housewife to Hippie – by taking elements symbolic of restraint and repression (high collars, voluminous sleeves and skirts) and giving them a modern inflection.” What else do you need to add something to your cart S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y
Pastoral Fantasy
With Helmstedt - Copenhagen-based, the brand was founded in by Emilie Helmstedt, who still hand paints part of the collection. The romanticized interpretation of the agricultural life conveyed by their collection is the best antidote to Quarantine, we have found so far.
Pretty Woman.
If Viviane from Pretty Woman was shopping anywhere in the UK it would be at Livotte. Founded by girl friends, Beth Pollak and Delphine Mcneill, Livotte’s Polka dot skirt makes our summer look as bright as would a smile from Richard Gere and you know that power, too.
Summer is for COOL
Free, cool & fun accessories and clothing for women - as Blanca Pérez-Cabrero founder of BPCR Collections describes her brand. We love her playful costume jewellery pieces inspired, her floral hair pieces and bold belt buckles.
