We believe in natural, ethical skincare products that are cruelty free and kind to your skin and spend ages sourcing and testing ranges on the market to bring only the very best to our shelves. We believe prevention and protection in skincare is just as important as treating and nourishing and with that in mind, we're pleased to announce our latest arrival...
Salt and Stone is made in California. Inspired by and tried and tested by the local surfers, these three hero products are designed to effectively protect your skin in the sun and are water resistant. They smell gorgeous too.
This broad spectrum sunscreen, with an SPF of 30, is water resistant for 80 minutes.
This handy stick has an SPF of 50 and is slightly tinted. It's perfectly portable and works as a great city block on the go.

Our shop floor upstairs is a haven for customers wanting to browse in peace and quiet, unless they visit on a Saturday of course, which is often rather like coming across an impromptu party..
I took this photo the other day, at a particular time in the afternoon when, on a sunny day, the sun streams in and brings with it the most beautiful golden light. I relish these moments and often use the time to catch my breath after a busy lunchtime serving customers.
The friends Julia and I have made through having the shop has been an unexpected joy. Never did we realise that we'd make so many wonderful connections through our customers and as our team has grown, so has our circle.
Many of you of course know of our upstairs floor where we display our womenswear collections, bags, shoes and jewellery but still, after over ten years of trading, we still get a look of surprise from one or two customers who had no idea we had this haven on the first floor.. We have toyed with the idea of diplaying more clothes on the ground floor, making it more obvious to customers that we actually sell clothes but that idea is always quickly dismissed as truthfully, we feel there's something really precious about coming into a space to try on clothes, in an unhurried, peaceful and private atmosphere.
We have an airy and spacious changing room, tea and coffee on offer and a comfortable sofa for husbands, partners and friends. If you need special assistance please feel free to contact us in advance as we would be very happy to make alternative arrangements to accomodate you.
My team and I are always on hand to offer advice and we love nothing more than getting to know you a little, helping you put a look together, finding something that suits and fits you perfectly. You are welcome to call in and see us for advice at any time, but if you'd like to make an appointment for a styling session at a particular time, give us a call to arrange it. We'd be happy to help... 01273 474166
We're well known for our muted colour palette but summertime always makes us want to add slightly stronger shades. These are hardly brights, but we've played with the idea of matching the gorgeous colours in semi precious stones, to compliment this season's collection. Our latest delivery of silk pieces from Sula makes a perfect match for these stunning jewels..
All the items you see below are available in store and some are on our website..Call us for details if you'd like to know more..
I was recently told by my doctor that for health reasons, I needed to seriously up my intake on water. I'd previously relied on a water filter at home but I really hated the aftertaste and the whole clunky aspect of the design. The filters themselves are made of a horrible plastic and did nothing to encourage me to use it. I felt I also needed something I could carry with me, something I could take to work, but the metal cannister type of water bottles I had previously used, made the water too cold for me to drink beyond sips. My quest for the perfect portable bottle began and now that I've found it it seemed only logical to share it with our customers...
Our water bottles are beautifully designed and are available in either a recyclable BPA free Tritan plastic which is both extremely hardwearing, lightweight and phthalate free, or a handblown borosilicate glass version that comes complete with its own neophrene sleeve to protect it.

Since I discovered them I can honestly say I feel a huge difference to my overall wellbeing. The water tastes incredibly pure and has a sort of 'softness' to it which means for the first time, I actually enjoy drinking it, plus, knowing that I'm getting the added benefits from the charcoal, means I'm actually encouraged to drink.
Each bottle contains a stick of Binchotan or 'activated' charcoal, which the Japanese have been using for centuries to filter and infuse water. Not to be confused with the type you use on a barbeque, activated charcoal has a wide range of reported benefits. It is also one of the most effective ways of removing water impurities such as chlorine, commonly found in tap water and is tasteless and odourless and non toxic.
Activated charcoal consists of a substance, usually wood, coal, coconut shell or bamboo, which has been burned without oxygen to create char. This is then heated to a high temperature and exposed to certain gases. The multi-step process makes it extremely porous and able to bind to any substance, a bit like a magnet that absorbs any toxic molecules in comes into contact with. Adsorption, not to be confused with absorption, is when molecules are drawn to the surface of the adsorbent rather than being absorbed into it.
To get the benefits, simply place the stick of charcoal in the bottle and fill up from the tap. After leaving it for one hour, the water is good to drink. The longer you leave it the more time the charcoal has to infuse so I always refill just before bed.. that way, I have a fresh bottle good to go in the morning.
After three months the charcoal needs to be reactivated and you can do this simply by boiling in a pan of water for ten minutes. This process actually cleans the charcoal and sets it up for another three months of good use. After six months it's time to replace the stick and refill sticks are also available in our store.
Charcoal sticks are fully recyclable, in fact you can simply crush them up into the soil in the garden after they're past their best which for me, only adds to the overall efficiency and brilliant design aspect.
I hope I can inspire you to discover for yourself, the difference you'll feel.
On a day like today, when the sun's out and the garden's full of birdsong, the promise of warmer weather to come feels more of a reality. My thoughts are turning to the happy days with family and friends at the spring and summer events we've got planned.
This season we thought we'd bring more of a 'special events' feel to our collections and whilst you'll still be able to pair most of these pieces with jeans and a simple shirt, they'll also step up perfectly, should the occasion call for it.
Mes Demoiselles is the perfect go-to for party and wedding dressing. This coat is an incredibly beautiful piece that can be thrown on over virtually anything to look instantly dressed up without having tried to hard.
Sharpen the look of this sheer top by pairing it with a jacket. The print is in a very beautiful pale grey. It comes with a matching camisole.
And whilst print's not usually our thing, we couldn't resist this beautiful light and floaty silk shirt. The cut is oversized and the full sleeves taper to a gathered cuff which balance the volume.
There are drawstring pants in match in shades of spice and we've scarves and accessories that will work with everything. These are easy clothes to feel comfortable and happy in. We hope you can pay us a visit soon x
