Heading North - Autumn Winter 2026

This autumn, we head further north.

From the Lowlands to the Highlands, following a familiar path from Edinburgh towards Scotland’s long-lost castles. Places shaped by weather, time, and quiet endurance.  Following a landscape shaped by weather, history and time. 

Nature sits at the heart of the collection as always. This seasons inspiration comes from the landscape itself, from the strength of the stag to the small, steady presence of winter Robin. 

Some animals are obvious, like the stag, while others are much smaller. Robins, birds, acorns and creatures hidden amongst the leaves. Palava prints always carry the idea that when you look closely at there is always something more to see.

One of our favourite discoveries is Eilean Donan Castle.

Destroyed in 1719 it sat in ruins for nearly 200 years before it was rebuilt in the early twentieth century. It became the inspiration for our new Forgotten Castle print, but it also made me think about the collection more broadly.

What do we keep? What do we repair? 

We work with prints from our archive, natural materials and styles that return season after season. Good things are worth keeping.

This is a small, considered collection, built around what we do best in winter: organic cotton knitwear that is classic, easy, and genuinely lovely to wear. Pieces designed for everyday life. Warm without being heavy, comforting without being dull. 

Winter is when knitwear really comes into its own for us. Organic cotton knits that are easy to layer and comfortable to wear, alongside British wool and a few new shapes.

We want clothes to be useful. Things you can put on without thinking too much about them, wear all day and still be pulling out of the cupboard years from now.

Our palette returns to deep navy, grounded and dependable, lifted with brighter tones to bring warmth and contrast through the darker months.

This season also introduces a new collaboration with the Natural History Museum.

Inspired by the architecture of the building itself and its sense of discovery, the designs explore creatures past and present, from the dodo to lizards and birds, observed with curiosity.

This time we took care to look up, to enjoy the building itself. The animals hidden in its architecture, the carvings and drawings and the long history of people looking closely at the natural world.

The collection includes creatures past and present, from lizards to birds and all in between. There is something quite moving about putting an animal that has disappeared alongside those that are still here.

Again, it comes back to looking closely and thinking about what we choose to look after.

Perhaps that is what joins this collection together.

Things don't have to be new to be interesting.

An old print can be brought back. A building can be rebuilt. A skill can be passed from one person to another. A familiar cardigan can come out every winter and still be exactly what you want to wear.

Clothes made to be lived in, layered up, and returned to winter after winter.
