Back After the Break: New Collection, New Inspirations

After a long break, we are excited to be back with a fresh new podcast episode! In this chat, we catch up on what happened during our time away and dive into the latest collection launch. From summer travels and home renovations to magical photo shoots and inspiring patterns, this episode is packed with updates. Toni shares her experiences in Colombia, where she was deeply touched by the warm and welcoming people, while Thea talks about juggling a construction site and work madness. We also give you the inside scoop on our recent photoshoot for the Forest Tales Collection, which we shot in Thea’s home, close to the forest. The collection brings together beautiful patterns like the Calablanca sweater and the military-style shirt dress, 68-8, featuring our longtime friend Anna as the model. Despite some funny mishaps, like stepping into dog poop during the shoot, the images turned out stunning—full of magic and beauty. But it's not just about the photos; this collection is packed with great pieces that are both fashionable and functional. We discuss some of our favorite patterns, like the high-waisted Palazzo pants and the newly released 68-7 slim trousers, inspired by classic Prada style. With their sophisticated stitched crease, these pants are perfect for any occasion, from casual days at home to a chic office look. We also tease what's coming up, including exciting influencer collaborations and a slow reveal of new patterns over the next few weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on the website. Lastly, we chat about our recent reads and favorite podcasts.
