Ethical fashion, home decor, green living.
If you’ve seen my previous posts, you’ll know the origins of the Breton Stripe, and the way the fabric is woven. Now that we’ve brushed up on our history, it’s time to get to the fun stuff: styling! My absolute favourite way to wear a […]
The first thing I noticed when pulling the Les Sublimes Breton Top from its package was that the fabric was unlike any other I’d worn. It was firm but not abrasive – it was warm but breathable – it felt soft on the skin but crumpled […]
