Anything goes, and the more unexpected, the better. Whether your style is pared-back and elegant, or eclectic and vibrant, layer contrasting colours, such as serene whites and blues for a classic look or pink and greens, make the perfect colour combination for a style statement. The modest, geometric embroidered design has been blended with a contemporary colour palette, reflecting the modern luxury and traditional charm of the legendary village the collection is named after.
Against a background of rustic, tactile linen, the collection features watery blue and stony grey colourways or colour combinations of pink and orange, or zingy lime greens, capturing the vibrancy of the painted buildings and beach umbrellas. Each piece has been smartly finished with complimentary, smooth velvet piping for an added touch of sophistication.
These soft linen fabrics have each been paired with the luxurious tactile Cocktail trims to create a beautiful contrast of texture and tone. Creamy, off-white linen is combined with the intermingling, deep turquoise threads of Cuban or hot pink Cosmopolitan, whilst the richness of Orchid is brought to life by the vibrancy of Paloma.
For more versatile combinations, luxurious, all-white Vesper flatters crisp Beagle Salt, and the creamy pistachio of Firefly is complimented by the soft greens of Clover Club, with just a hint of contrast from the occasional strands of deep maroon.

There was a period between the s and the s where people made things of astonishing quality: boxes by Asprey, early Louis Vuitton trunks, shagreen cigarette cases, all at Bentleys.
