The new Loungewear collections for Autumn 2011

Did you take the opportunity to browse our website over the weekend? If so, you couldn’t have failed to notice a freshly revamped home page launching our Autumn 2011 collection! The first of our Autumn/Winter catalogues will be dropping on doormats from 12th August but if you really can’t wait, you can preview the new catalogue online by clicking here.

Let’s not forget that it is still only August (is it just me who thinks this year is flying by?!) so chunky cable knits and cosy jumper dresses might not be featured on your clothing shopping list just yet! You might be interested to know however that there are many pieces which you can treat yourselves to and wear even before it gets cold and wintry with the launch of our new Jersey Layering and Celtic Easywear collections. These pieces are ideal for lounging around or layering up over summer vests and tees.

Jersey Layering

The Jersey Layering range is made up of soft, light fibres – namely Organic Cotton and Bamboo – which lend themselves to being worn all year round. For example…
The Bamboo Box Tee makes the most of the current trend for asymmetry with a longer back and a single patch pocket on the front. Being bamboo, it is UV-protective and anti-bacterial so it will keep you comfortably cool during the last of the summer days. The Bamboo Box Tee comes in three colour designs so you can take your pick or choose them all!
As you can see, this lovely little Organic Cotton Short Sleeve Tee is great for layering up in the colder months but right now it will stand confidently on its own with your favourite jeans or skirt. I love the fold-back cuffs and the slightly longer back; the shape is very flattering. I predict this one will sell out very quickly!

Celtic Easywear

The Celtic Easywear pieces are created from slightly lighter yarns than our other knits, including Geelong lambswool and Cashmere. These pieces are designed for relaxation and lounging around. For example…
This Muscle Back Pointelle Vest is available in 3 colours to complement your wardrobe. The pretty pointelle stitch and sporty back add a unique touch to the design to make this more than just any old vest! It is made from cotton and modal so it is super-soft and would work as a practical base layer on a chilly day.
I have picked out the Henley Slouch as one of my favourite pieces from the new collection so far! I can picture wearing it as an extra layer at a late summer barbeque (over the Pointelle Vest perhaps?) and then as a snuggly downtime top for a weekend at home. The tiny shell buttons give a pretty and delicate touch to the Henley style and the Geelong lambswool is soft and easy to wear.

As you can probably tell, I am very excited about these new additions to our clothing range and I hope you are too. You can order these items online now for delivery in only a few weeks’ time so plenty of time to prepare for Autumn.
