Signs of Spring - Lookbook

Blossom is finally appearing around London! Trees lining the streets decorate them their big fluffy white branches, or big bold and pink magnolias. It's the first sign of spring, and we are here for it!

Rita Dress - Blue Apple Blossom

£169.00GBP

This hand-illustrated print is inspired by the first signs of spring and features the blossom against the blue sky.

About the style: Rita is a shining star of a dress - the one you’ll dance the night away in, the one you’ll reach for again and again - the dress that memories are made in. Her structured waist, full skirt and flattering wrap neckline make Rita the perfect showcase dress for an hourglass figure. Rita’s clever tulip sleeves allow for full and unrestricted arm movement. Deep pockets sit invisibly in the side seams, making Rita not only beautiful but also practical.

Rita is made by Satnam and his team in our London factory.

About the Fabric: Tencel™

We love how drapey, soft and silky to touch Tencel™ is. Not only does it feel wonderful in a dress, it's also a natural material that is highly sustainable. The base material for Tencel comes from eucalyptus trees - which grow happily in harsh, dry conditions meaning no need for irrigation. For more information on Tencel and the other fabrics we use at Palava, click here.

Beatrice Dress - Ivory Passionflower

£165.00GBP

We liked our Passionflower print so much, we've brought her back, this time in an ivory colourway - fresh as a daisy for summer!

About the Style: Have you ever worn a fully lined dress? They feel so wonderfully luxurious to wear but are hard to come by these days. Palava's Beatrice dress is here to put all that right. She’s lined with the softest lightweight organic cotton.

Beatrice is the dress we reach for when we want some classic and elegant simplicity. Her boat neckline has a twist with a pretty v-neck back. She has summery cap sleeves, an elegant tie belt and deep pockets.

Passionflower love

We liked our Passionflower print so much, we've brought her back, this time in an ivory colourway - fresh as a daisy for summer. Long vines of bright blue flowers and deep green leaves go round and round this dress.
