Finding it hard to work with wool in the heat wave? Linen is definitely your friend! Always smooth and cool to the touch, and makes the best hot-weather outfits, like the Runway Tee by .ackroyd . We have lots of lovely colours in stock and will try our best to include a little cool Shetland breeze with each order too 😎

Sardines are back! 🐟🐟🐟
I’m working hard in the studio to keep the shelves topped up, and so I’m delighted to say that the waxed project bags with the sardine lining are back in stock 😊
These are made from a heavy, traditional waxed outer that will gain scuffs and patina with use, and lined with a cheery natural linen look canvas featuring many swimming sardines.
You can find these in the “Large Project Bags” section of the website now ☺️
