Scarves
Normally, we use this space to show you things that we like, or things that we really like, or things that we love, or things that we think very highly of, or things that are marvellous etc. All that positivity, it must get a bit old..?
With that in mind, I hereby present something we really don’t like – scarves. It’s true – we really do not like scarves. They are terrible. And they are very silly. And, sometimes they are just... No. It's not true.
We love scarves. Of course we love scarves, everybody does. We love scarves the way we love jackets and dresses and vests and tops and trousers and skirts and shirts and shorts. And we have some particularly nice scarves in store at the moment. The ones pictured here are just a selection from amid the beautiful pieces that have recently arrived, by Alexi Freeman, ffiXXed, Kyoko, Lui Hon, Primoeza and Strange & Strange. All of the above have been woven, knit or cut from pure wools, except the ffiXXed scarf, which is a large wonderful printed square of cotton.

Black story
There are a lot of new things in store and, in actual fact, much of it comes in colour and print ... but today we got stuck on black. It started with Livia Arena's beautiful bustier and the perfectly flirty Limedrop jersey skirt, and carried on from there.
Many of you apologise for your black habit but it's one that we are more than happy to help you sustain. Black creates such wonderful silhouettes, and interesting textures (when different kinds of fabric and different kinds of black are layered).
