Bienvenue Boucle
We’re pleased to welcome to our Spring collection our new Bouclé tops.Bouclé fabric has a rich history, particularly in its association with premium French fashion.
The term “bouclé” derives from the French word meaning to curl, or loop, though the fabric is sometimes also known as “buckled tweed.” The fabric is characterised by its looped yarn, adding texture and depth. Coco Chanel famously popularised bouclé in the 1950s when she created jackets and suits that embodied a blend of elegance and comfort. Equal parts classic and contemporary, our new Bouclé top is made from a cotton-blend with a textured bouclé surface. With a slightly boxy fit,...

Featuring a classic crew neck, it is ribbed at the neck, hem and cuffs. Beautiful ivory shell buttons adorn the front...

Rentrer à la maison
I'm back after a wonderful séjour in Thailand, where the warm and amazingly dry weather was a welcome relief from cold, rainy Sydney. We spent our first couple of days in Bangkok, firstly visiting must-sees like the Grand Palace, a variety of Buddhas and some of the luxury shopping malls. On day two, we took a private tour out of Bangkok to the Damnoen Saduak floating market, a coconut plantation and the extraordinary Mae Klong train market. The contrast from one day to the next couldn’t have been greater. Just 70 kilometres south-west of the capital, here was the living...
