There has been a lot of wishing away the days recently. The summer has been not so much a damp squib as a sick joke. And so we, like you no doubt, have been looking at the skies or today, hoping for something better tomorrow. But you can't go about life like that, so what do you do? Hit the road is what you do. Travel and adventure are the perfect antidotes to the moribund and the miserable, so we packed up some summer bits along with some brand new pieces from the forthcoming Autumn 24 collection and we made a beeline for the Isle of Wight.
If you've ever been to this enchanting rock just off the coast of southern England and a stone's skim from Portsmouth, you'll appreciate that it is quite unlike anywhere else in the British Isles. It seems to have resisted the rapacious influences of modernity, instead settling for a charming old-worldly timelessness with a strong sense of community. With soaring chalk cliffs, stunning sandy bays, and quaint fishing towns, the Isle of Wight is postcard perfect while also being a breeze to get to. No toiletries in small plastic bags, or removing your laptop from your weekend holdall. Just throw everything in the boot and head for the ferry! BBQs on the beach and freshly caught grilled fish awaits!
