Another wave of new acts has arrived.

This summer we are rolling out the bunting and heading down to the Palava Fete. First into the ring are our brand new Circus prints, bold, playful, and ready for their grand entrance. Then, as the sun starts to dip and the air turns cooler, our new knitwear pieces take over.

it's all about the Prints

Meet our new arrivals, the Cynthia Big Top (Black) and the Cynthia Cornfield (Navy).

Big Top is inspired by the fabric of a vintage dress once worn by the unforgettable Great Aunty Pie. Full of movement, colour, and classic Palava character, it brings the busy circus tent to life.

Cornfield stars Bob the cat, a street cat with a knack for stealing the spotlight. He belonged to Jim, our photographer, and he became part of the Palava story when he kept wandering into shot on an early photoshoot.

Vera - Blue Posies Cardigan

This is a very special new design for us as the illustration for the embroidery was done by a close friend of the Palava family @ingebjorghunskaar

As Inge put it: A big part of my childhood, growing up on a farm in Norway, was spent outdoors. Running around the forests, going to the beach or just exploring the garden on the farm. I loved picking flowers, making daisy chains, and weaving little mats with grasses. I would often bring home a little Posy for my mum to put in a vase on the dining table.

Painting these flowers for the embroidery of this cardigan took me back to
these light summer evenings, exploring and picking flowers. I included garden flowers like poppies, pansies, and cosmos as well as some wild flowers and grasses.

Pictured is Jennie wearing a size S Vera posies cardigan.

Made from 100% organic cotton.
