Happy bank holiday weekend! 🌞 make the most of the nice weather and pop into Norwich (and us) this weekend 😉

Our last collection of cotton ikat and block print shirts was so popular we simply had to get more! 😌

The textures and subtle details in these are jaw droppingly beautiful. In our ikat range, each thread is dyed then woven which adds that extra bit of wow to these brilliant pieces. We have lots of designs but very limited stock so pop in soon ✨
