Down to the River

A collection that captures the dreamy feeling of a hot, hazy holiday by Cornwall's River Fal.


In the long, hot summer of 1937, the tranquil waters of Cornwall’s Lambe Creek became a playground for an eclectic gathering of poets, surrealist painters and sculptors.  

Inspired by the vitality captured in their sun-faded photographs, we’ve created a bold collection of vintage silhouettes and playful prints. Fresh greens and river blues weave through yarn-dyed checks, while abstract florals and lively geometric shapes tumble across light, breezy styles.  

Each piece tells the story of warm weekends spent by the river, blending the timeless appeal of 1930’s style with clean lines and hardwearing fabrics that look to the future. They can be worn from sunrise to sunset, on riverside rambles and for candlelit dinners, and will become woven with your own summer memories. 

Breathable summer fabrics

We believe that the clothes we love should last for years to come. It’s why we craft our collections using high quality fabrics, made to be lived in season after season. 

Linen is a durable, cool and breathable choice for soft, airy summer dresses, and its natural texture will develop more character with every summer of wear. Made for sunny days when comfort and style are key, our loose-fit linen Brawn Point Crops are garment-dyed for a colour that will develop a sun-washed softness over time. 

Discover dresses, tops, crops and culottes in our characterful linen.  

We love using organic cotton jersey in the summer, for everything from drapey summer skirts to classic T-shirts. It’s breathable, washes well and is kind to sensitive skin.

We’re proud to be continuing our journey as organic cotton pioneers, and by the end of 2024 all our cotton will be fully traceable and certified as organic.

Get set for summer

An easy drape and lively prints make our coordinating sets a joy to style. The relaxed shape of our Colour Study Top makes it the perfect foil to wide leg crops or narrow trousers, while the simple lines of our En Plein Air Culottes give space to our statement patterns. 

Pair with your trusted summer favourites or wear together as a statement ensemble for evenings with friends. They’re a great alternative to a summer midi dress, and more versatile, too.

A trip along the River Fal

Charlotte and Jess are childhood friends who travelled around the world before finding themselves back in Cornwall, where they’ve turned their lifelong loves of fresh food and vintage boats into a dining experience like no other.  

We joined them on board the Tethra to sample some of the seasonal delights they serve aboard their floating kitchen.
