Love & Care
We work in partnership with our suppliers to create unique designs in special fabrics. Here we give an insight into why we have chosen each fabric or yarn to help you enjoy your purchase from our collection.
 
Pure Ramie
Cool, fresh and lightweight, ramie is like linen but it is a finer yarn and therefore produces a finer weave. Ramie drapes slightly differently to linen, for a softer and more fluid silhouette. Ramie washes brilliantly
time after time and its smooth lustrous appearance improves with washing.
Superfine Ramie
With the same wonderful characteristics of our normal ramie, but even finer, therefore a little more delicate on the seams.
Cross Dyed Linen
Two tone effect linen, that's been cross-dyed to look more expensive and softer in colour tones.
Washes and wears very well
Garment-dyed Linen
We've Reactive garment dyed a range of our heavy linen styles which means every piece will be a slightly different colour shade, but the overall look has a 'jeansy' two tone look that is relaxed not pristine.
Denim
A durable cotton denim with 1% Lycra for a little bit of stretch, available in a dark dye and a paler washed denim.Every denim product tends to lose its colour intensity over time. Please avoid contact with light coloured fabrics and upholstery as there may be some colour rub.
Washed Silk Satin
This softly washed silk puckers nicely on the seams and has a lovely lustre that drapes beautifully, perfect for our soft tailoring. Like all silk needs washing with love and care.
Washed Silk Linen
A heavy and luxurious weight of silk linen that drapes well and doesn't crease quite as much as linen. These styles have been heavily washed, creating a soft handle to the fabric.
Silk Cotton Twill
This lovely blend of silk and cotton twill fabric has a slight sheen emphasised by a soft wash. The drape and weight of the fabric has been chosen specifically for our soft tailoring.
Pure Delave Dyed Linen
The same structure and weight as our other linen, this delave dye finish has a two tone colour that has a 'jeansy' appearance that looks very relaxed and contemporary.
Herringbone Linen
This lovely linen fabric has a small herringbone pattern, in a graphic black and white colourway. A great weight for our soft tailored suit that drapes beautifully.
Printed Linen
We've printed our lovely quality of linen in our own unique design. Cool and airy to wear, it feels soft and drapes beautifully.
Striped Linen
The fine stripe design is subtle and understated, a fresh tone for the summer. The linen is washed to create a soft handle and relaxed drape.
Fine Silk Cotton blend
This lovely, lightweight blend of silk and cotton fabric, is the perfect base to digitally print our unique design on and for our beautifully delicate embroidery. Slightly shear with a subtle, soft sheen.
Tie Dyed Silk
The skirt and top we have designed in tie-dyed silk are created by hand so each piece is individual. They are also hand embroidered and beaded. The soft washed silk will need a little more love and care when washing.
Cotton Poly Blend
This new cotton and polyamide blend of fabric is great for our Summer new mac and jacket. Lightweight, with a very subtle sheen that's fresh and contemporary.

We've striped and printed our own lovely, brushstroke design on our textured linen jersey. With a lovely, natural texture, that is breathable and cool.
Heavy Weight Linen Jersey
The same lovely qualities that our other linen jersey weights have, but this slightly heavier weight of linen is perfect for the slightly more structured jacket and tops.

Chunky Linen Knitwear
This yarn has a beautiful lustrous appearance, as a result of the old dye method which gives it two tone look. We've knitted some styles on a fine, open gauge so please take special care when trying on and remove all jewellery, in order to avoid unnecessary damage to the garment.
