Drop your anchors, hop onto dry land and make your way to one of our stores.

Sonia Rykiel have a stunning range this season. Our favourites being the black and cream stripey, knitted, sexy dress with little boats stitched on the collar. Then there’s the cutest little outfit ever. A  little white top with blue and red detailing and again those cute little stitched boats and the bold blue high waisted skirt in the usual incredibly flattering shape always used on her skirts. If you’ve never tried one you really ought to, we have people return every season for more due to their wonderful, clever cut.

Then there’s our fab Le Mont Saint Michel navy cardi with cream anchors all over and blue and white stripey skirt.

Knit Wit

Fifi Wilson have been buying Le Mont Saint Michel for some time now and looking at the Autumn ’09 collection, it just keeps getting better and better. Mind you, they have had a lot of practice! This family run French business has been operating for nearly a hundred years and has been passed down generations. Le Mont St Michel’s clothing is traditional French and English knits that are inspired from their archive. They are made in magical, rich colours and then given modern details such as leather fastenings and trims. There is undoubtedly a safe, nostalgic element which brings a sense of comfort to the person wearing the clothes, but it is the great sense of colour that lifts spirits and dull days. In the new Autumn/Winter 09 collection that has just arrived, there are various knitted dresses which are perfect for lounging around in comfort indoors or team with wooly tights and boots for when you feel the urge to go and kick leaves.
