Black Silk Cotton Kaftan | £265
It’s so hard to pick just five favourites from the collection because I adore every piece, but the Kaftan had to be included. It’s the piece I’d been searching for and could never quite find anywhere. Wanting to create it myself is what inspired me to collaborate with ASCENO so we could bring it to life together.
02
Brown Silk Headscarf | £95
I’ve been wearing a headscarf a lot lately, so it feels amazing to have my own version to add to my rotation!
It’s made from 100% silk, so it’s gentle on your hair, which I really notice actually. When it came to deciding what size to make it, myself and the ASCENO team made sure it was large enough to wear as as a headscarf or around the waist. It’s even lovely wrapped around a bag handle, or loosely tied on a bag strap. So versatile!
03
White Cotton Tunic | £235
The tunic is so effortless. It comes in both white and brown, and I genuinely love both.
It’s the kind of piece you can just throw on — as a mini dress, over a bikini on holiday, or styled with the matching trousers for a put together evening look.
Living La Vita Sarda

Jun 17
“La vita sarda” (the Sardinian way of life) is rooted in strong family ties, close-knit communities, seasonal food, and a deep connection to the natural world. Sardinia is home to one of the world’s recognised Blue Zones, where these traditions are believed to contribute to longevity, wellbeing, and a slower, more balanced pace of life across generations.

Black Silk Cotton Trousers | £235
It was important for me to have versatile pieces in this collection that you can style in multiple ways and this pair of trousers is testament to that. The drawstring at the ankle is a feature I’m so happy with as I have so many pairs of lightweight trousers that I wish I could do this with! You can of course style them loose as well. Similarly the black and white shirt have the optional drawstring as I wanted to be able to wear it like a lightweight jacket over the tunic for a nice layered look.

Brown Silk Shirt | £280
I love the boxy fit of this shirt. Inspiration for this piece came from a similar ASCENO set I worn so much over the years as a chic day time look on holiday for boat trips, beach clubs and also worn in the evenings for as a relaxed, effortless outfit. So I made total sense to make it in the espresso silk to match with the trousers and headscarf. So chic!
Until next time,
