IN THE GARDEN
Spend the coming months in the outdoors wearing a warm yet seasonal cardigan embellished with playful flowers and bobbles.
ANKLE DEEP
Put some spring in your step with a set of colourful, textured leg warmers. Pop these statement pieces over your boots and they’ll be a real conversation starter.
BAG OF BLOOMS
Clusters of blossoms and creeping vines seem to grow spontaneously out of this bobbly handbag, making it as sweet and full of life as a balmy April breeze.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
Little flowers climb this trellis-inspired shawl, adding exciting spots of colour to the main body’s elegant neutral tone. Toss it over a flowy dress for an evening out.
RIOT OF COLOUR
You can give some oomph to any out t simply by adding this eye-catching belt to the mix. If you’re a big fan of textures and vivid shades, this one was made for you!
