A new year and a new beginning for us all. Over the course of the last week or so we’ve been inundated with articles and advertisements promoting a new year and a “new you`’. Not for us thank you. Surely January, a generally grey and cold month, isn’t the time for punishing ourselves or depriving ourselves of all those little treats that make life happier.

In January this year it was reported that the UK alone produces 26.5k tonnes of textile waste a year. That’s a shockingly high amount and we believe that buying with intention and creating a capsule wardrobe for ourselves is the most sustainable approach we can take to playing our part in helping to reduce that figure.

Nows the time to invest in your winter wardrobe with some carefully chosen forever garments. Investing in well crafted clothing couldn't be more important at this time of year to ensure you get years of wear from much loved styles.

It's always so exciting to find a new brand, especially one that's perfectly designed for the British weather.

Tänta is a sustainable brand based in The Basque area of Spain where it frequently rains. Functionality is key when buying clothing to ensure it fits with your lifestyle and we think this outerwear collection is on point for style whilst being super useful.

We ease gently into our first autumn edit with some transitional garments that can be layered throughout the year.

As we welcome the sun on our faces and warmth on our skin the need for loose easy clothing is essential.

We are super excited to be working with our dear friend and woven store customer Anna Pugh, who is based not far from us in Hove.

For me the ability to style clothing is second nature, the joy of being able to create lots of different outfits from a few well chosen items is so rewarding.
Not only does this mean more wearing possibilities but also it lengthens the life of the garments we own, reinventing them each year.
