In a time when we have been deprived of the daily stimuli of everyday life, of people, variety, tactility, spontaneity and pleasure of being around other humans, ‘Soon’ is a collection which looks back at the pleasures we’ve been denied in this whirlwind of a year, offering a way to escape, to relax and to look both back fondly to the past for nostalgia and memories of joy, and into the future with hope.

The senses have been focused on in this collection. Celebrating love and affection and incorporating and celebrating tactility. A collection to spark joy, and to remind us we are not alone, even if it feels that way sometimes. Prints are included that lend themselves to being wrapped around the body, using materials that spark feelings of warmth and love. Wool is a primary part of this collection with the use of a variety of wools that bring a tactile feel. Mohair and lambswool are integral, with printed knitwear, a material that for many, brings connotations of warmth and nostalgia. Aiming to produce a collection of ‘products of comfort’. Woollen and knitted blankets, silk scarves, squidgy cushions and tactile upholstery that make us feel at home and safe, to evoke feelings of comfort.
