‘Christina
Strutt designs clothes that are just the right side of fancy dress. Her tiny
fashion label
Cabbages & Roses, turns out clothes that work as an every day
wardrobe - really they do - but they
also make you feel as if you are in a
film. Perhaps A Room With a View,
or maybe Alice in
Wonderland - the clothes have character and huge charm.’
-Katrina
Burroughs - HOW TO SPEND IT : FINANCIAL TIMES
This is
my favourite description of Cabbages & Roses clothes, and though I wouldn't
say so
myself,
I would have liked to. Thank you Katrina Burroughs.

It is,
though, exactly what our new collection is, just the right side of fancy dress,
clothes to
watch
the new film 'Little Women' in, or perhaps to stride across muddy fields, or to turn
heads on
the bus whilst walking up The Kings Road.

We have
always said, there is no point in producing clothes that mimic others, that you
could
buy
much more cheaply elsewhere. We want to create an air of practical whimsy where
you
can
dress up or dress down as the mood takes you. As I
write, the new collection is being cut and
sewn and delivered, bit by bit.
A
collection full of colour, romance and beautiful practicality
of
daytime delights and night time charm
