| A New Season is Arriving |
An enormous amount of time and thought goes into creating a photo shoot, and with so many moving
parts, it is a miracle that it ever comes together.
On a March day in windy Somerset the components of our shoot arrived at the beautiful yellow house
belonging to our beloved MD and OMG Mr and Mrs Christopher Howells.
Amongst the props, make-up, models, cameras, tripods, lunches, suppers
We immediately set to work with our extraordinary photographer Kristin Perers.

Amongst the props, make-up, models, cameras, tripods, lunches, suppers
and breakfasts came a baby and a pair of toddlers.

Here is the super model Linnea with Kristin working very hard
and here is Sophie Strutt mama to Theodore with Violet working her magic
which seems to amuse Sophie very much.
During a week-end of jolly good fun and very hard work Kristin made
some extraordinary photographs of our extraordinary models wearing,
of course, the Cabbages & Roses newest collection.
A collection in which we collaborated with our lovely friend Gil Fox
who made the hats above and below.

and our newest gem of a friend Rachel Ashwell with whom we have together
invented a collection of organic jersey including her iconic print Rosabelle

and a collaboration with our dear friend Molly Mahon
who made our lovely sunshine yellow print by hand in India.

Encouraged by Kristin's power of persuasion we had Sophie
climbing in and out of windows (Theodore is being held inside!)

Everyone worked very hard, and thanks to our marvelous MD Kate and her
husband Christopher, everyone had a lovely time.
But most of all we are so happy with the results of our labour and
very much hope you will be too.
The collection will be arriving with Spring in weekly deliveries
until the foreseeable future. We shouldn't need to remind you,
though, that everything is made in very limited quantities, carefully by hand
in a tiny factory just outside London. Our jersey is made from organic
cotton as are our plimsolls, our knitwear is all made in Scotland. Our deliveries are wrapped in
recycled tissue paper.

So all in all we are trying very hard
not to harm the planet, to reduce our carbon footprint, and keep you,
our customers happy. Next week we will show you the whole collection as soon as we have edited
all
of our photographs.
