As part of our campaign, we’ve selected four women who make a difference to ordinary lives and put others before themselves every day at work. We’ve honoured their efforts by letting them…

Cadaqués: Our New Inspiration
Earlier this year we showed you our inspiration for the first in-house designed collection of the season: San Sebastián. We loved the vibrant atmosphere, coastal setting and unspoilt scenery that this Basque paradise gave us – so much so, we put it in our prints. But, for our second range, we have a new Spanish muse. It’s time to say adiós to the north coast of Spain and head for the Catalonian seaside. Surrounded by a national park, the small town of Cadaqués is well-known for its glorious beaches, white-washed houses and piercing blue sea. Every summer it pulls in a celebrity crowd, who are unsurprisingly there to experience the…

With Valentine’s Day over for another year and March drawing ever closer, it’s time to recycle the empty chocolate boxes, deflate the heart shaped balloons and start to look forward to brighter beginnings.
