The pieces that anchor your wardrobe

Our essentials are the dependable foundations: soft camisoles, fine-knit tops, fitted tees and easy layers in versatile shades. We design them to work hard beneath the prints and silhouettes you love, with considered necklines and comfortable fits that hold up through a full week of wear. The fabrics are chosen to be soft against the skin and to hold their shape. A good essential earns its place by playing well with everything. Layer a fine knit under a pinafore, or pair a soft top with a pleated skirt from our tops range.

Built to last and to layer

These are the pieces you reach for most, so quality matters. Well-made seams and considered cuts mean they keep their shape and stay comfortable, ready to sit under a blazer for work or on their own for the weekend. Choose soft neutral tones for the easiest mixing, then add the colour and print through your statement pieces. Kept simple and well made, these are the quiet workhorses every romantic wardrobe is built upon. Layer in knitwear, or pair with coordinating skirts.
