March 2023 | This Month We're Inspired By . . .
This month, we’re March-ing into spring with new shoots, new-season collections and new books to delight and entertain.
Fresh off the back of World Book Day, we’ve got the reading bug and Mini Rodini’s fabulous new Book Club collection is ticking all the boxes on our library card. Cosy, cute and a little bit quirky, these simple jersey pieces are just perfect for curling up with a great read. On the subject of great reads, we’ve got a fantastic selection of baby books to get them page-turning early. Tactile and colourful, they're the true definition of a gripping yarn!
For kids who want to shake off their cosies, Chloé’s new collection is a breath of fresh air. Think floaty silhouettes, floral embroidery and the label's signature ’70s-inspired pieces (every girl needs a pair of oversized sunglasses this season). If all that wasn’t enough to inspire you, we’ve welcomed ultra-cool superbrand Palm Angels to the family. Skatewear influences reign supreme in a collection packed with easy-to-style shapes, branded with the label’s gothic typeface logo: if you know, you know. And if you don’t, read on to see why we’re so excited.
Join Mini Rodini’s Book Club
Everyone knows that the coolest place to be is the library.
Just One More Chapter
Bookworms, rejoice! After-school activities never looked so stylish thanks to Mini Rodini's Book Club collection. We love their bold slogan sweaters and wide-leg trousers, which are perfect for curling up in after a hard day's play. If your little one isn’t quite ready to sign up, we have a whole selection of baby’s first books to keep them riveted. Filled with scrunchy textures and bright colours, they are designed to encourage sensory development from their very first years.

Here Come The Girls
“All I’ve ever wanted was for Chloé to have a happy spirit, to make people happy.”

Calling All Chloé Girls
With creative director Gabriela Hearst leading the way since 2021, there are three things we've come to expect from the luxury French fashion house: femininity, sustainability and a light bohemian touch. Sunglasses are oversized, shapes are floaty, trims are intricate — think beautifully crafted broderie anglaise alongside signature scalloped hems — and the use of synthetic fabrics has been scaled right back. Hooray! And, of course, there are plenty of mini-me pieces, with their design cues taken directly from the womenswear collection, perfect for matching with Mum.

Meet Palm Angels
There’s cool, and then there’s Palm Angels. Meet the streetwear superbrand we’re all talking about.
A Love Letter to LA
Palm Angels has arrived and we couldn’t be more excited about this effortlessly cool collection. Shapes are relaxed and easy to wear, fabrics are durable, and the prints are instantly recognisable — the brand’s name-sake palms are just one example. Photographer first, designer second, Francesco Ragazzi’s label took its name from an image he captured of a surfer under the Californian palm trees and the rest is history. This season, Ragazzi transports us to 1980s Miami, with bright tie-dyes and skatewear influences galore, from knee-length shorts worn with rolled-up socks to satin track tops with contrast stripes and matching trousers. Fashion is meant to be fun, and this beach-loving brand is certainly that.
