A Sweater. A Book. Somewhere to Go.
A good book and a favourite sweater. Two things we always make room for.
There’s something lovely about choosing a book to bring on a trip. It becomes part of the experience, tucked into your bag for the flight, opened over morning coffee or picked up again after a day of exploring.
We’ve paired four sweater looks with books to spark a little wanderlust. Whether you’re planning your next escape or settling into your favourite chair, come away with us.
London calling
Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell
Bookshops in the afternoon, theatre in the evening. That’s our kind of London itinerary.
Our red Cashmere Blend Sweater brings a bright touch to Hanna Straight Leg “Jeans” in dark blue. Black loafers keep the look simple, while red statement earrings add a little zhuzh for the evening.
Slip Hamnet into your bag for the quieter moments between outings. A story and an outfit, each with plenty of character.

A chapter in Paris
A Waiter in Paris by Edward Chisholm
A café table, something to sip and nowhere to rush. We can picture the afternoon already.
For our Paris pairing, we’ve brought together our Cashmere-Blend Short Sleeve Sweater, the Halle Reversible Skirt and the Ballina Reversible Jacket. A soft knit against smooth vegan leather gives this tonal look its interest, with a silver necklace for a finishing touch.
The reversible jacket and skirt also bring more styling possibilities to your suitcase.

By the sea
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
Some getaways call for a full itinerary. Others leave room for one more chapter.
Our plum Cashmere-Blend Dolman Sweater and Hanna Wide Leg “Jeans” make a relaxed pairing for time away. A colourful scarf draws out the rich plum, while playful slides are ready for a leisurely morning at your accommodation.
Pack The Paper Palace, find a comfortable spot and let the afternoon unfold.

Dreaming of Tuscany
Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes
Long lunches. Winding streets. Just one more chapter before dinner.
Our cream Cashmere-Blend Ruffle Sweater and chocolate Aro Kick Flare Pants with Pockets bring soft, earthy tones together. The relaxed sweater balances the pants’ gentle flare, while a gold cabochon cuff adds a little polish.
With Under the Tuscan Sun close at hand, this pairing has us imagining an unhurried Italian escape.
