A warm welcome in Germany

We approached our buying trip to Germany with a little trepidation given the current Brexit situation, wondering what kind of reception we would receive. In fact, little was said and we were made to feel very welcome, as usual.

We are incredibly excited with the new Autumn and Winter 2019 collections from our favourite designers. There are some lovely colours and shapes on the way, just right for our discerning customers, which means we have completed all of our orders and are looking forward to receiving some fabulous new collections in the shop later in the year.

Germany is not so fashion forward in our market as the UK, so new global designs take a while to filter through but we are sure you will love what is coming this year. There are some gorgeous animal prints, teamed with bright red and yellow, while the base colours of red and navy will blend beautifully with some super pinks, a myriad of blues, cool greens with splashes of lime and coral.

Both Rabe and Golléhaug showed stunning collections: Rabe features some of those animal prints in black and yellow plus red coordinated with black; Golléhaug showed beautiful knitted jackets which we snapped up. And watch out for a new take on the traditional Black Watch tartan from Basler: bottle green teamed with lilac and lavender. Simply divine! They have certainly created a very lovely coordinate collection for autumn and winter.

Gerry Weber features again with beautiful coordinated collections, with reds and wines mixed with black. We are also delighted to introduce a new outerwear collection by Kirsten, with jackets in pastel pinks and sophisticated neutrals of stone and beige.

And we all know how much you love our trouser ranges so we've extended the range, with the emphasis on collections from Toni and Raphaela by Brax, two of your favourite designers.

So all in all another very successful buying trip. And while we are looking forward to the stock arriving in the shop, we mustn't forget that we still have spring and summer to enjoy and with them some fabulous clothes from your favourite designers.
