Cornish Seashore
Styles that capture the feeling of summer strolls along Cornwall's seashell-dotted beaches.
On high summer days, we seek out the calm of a quiet, secluded beach. A soft breeze floats off the tide and glistening water laps at the sand, bringing with it a library of delicate, tide-worn seashells.
Inspired by these ocean treasures, we’ve created styles that tell a story of the Cornish shoreline. Botanical prints and bold collaged shapes capture the vibrancy of coastal life, while yarn-dyed stripes and checks are woven with sun-baked colours collected from the sea’s edge.
Beach Botanicals
Our print designers spent time by the sea, sketching the seashells and finding inspiration in rockpools for lively seaweed collages.
Cut-paper shapes give a bold, Matisse-inspired movement to coastal flowers and waving sea plants, while seashells are sketched in neat, botanical detail.
“This print started as a collection of shells picked up on walks along Cornish beaches. I drew each shell individually, using fineliner and pencil to capture their tiny, tide-worn details… I also added the handwritten labels, which were inspired by vintage scientific illustrations.” – Lucy Sheldrake on print ‘Shell Collecting’

Summer Gatherings
We’ve added hothouse floral prints and a vibrant maritime palette to our effortless collection of occasionwear. Find the perfect piece for all of summer’s special moments in our vintage-inspired fit-and-flare dresses, flowing maxi dresses and contemporary separates.
We’re also raising a glass to tailoring with a twist in garment-dyed linen, which gives a soft and sophisticated structure to easy jackets and elegant trousers.
