Light, breezy, and quietly charming, this check is made for spring strolls and summer fêtes. It has a nostaglic nod to the classic picnic blanket laid out on the grass but with a palava twist or a favourite dress pulled from the wardrobe year after year. Subtle enough to pair with bold prints, but full of character on its own, it’s a fresh take on a timeless pattern. Soft, simple, and ready for sunny days ahead.

This print is a nod to one of the sweetest sights at any village fête, rows of jars lined up and glinting in the sun, each one proudly entered into the preserves competition. From jewel-toned jams to sharp pickles and syrupy slices of lemon, they speak of quiet afternoons in the kitchen and recipes passed from hand to hand. A celebration of care, craft, and the joy of sharing something homemade.

Tiny Hardware is our tribute to the well-stocked shed and the joy of DIY. The print is full of character, with hand-drawn details, hammers, pliers, and brooms, all miniaturised, all waiting their rightful place. It’s a celebration of DIY being for both men and women. We all enjoy a tinker in the tool shed, making, mending, and pottering on a sunny afternoon.

At most village fêtes, one of the biggest events of all is the cake competition. Tables and nice tablecloths holding the weight of sponges, traybakes and carefully piped showstoppers, all lined up and waiting to be judged.

While circling the tent, eyeing up the contenders, quietly confident your Victoria sponge might just outshine your cousin’s lemon drizzle this year. There’s chatter about the lightest crumb, the glossiest icing, the best decoration. And let’s be honest you’re mostly wondering how many slices you can get away with trying.

A new abstract Palava favourite in the collection, this painterly print is full of soft, organic dots, a little like flower petals, sweets, or brushstrokes, depending on how you see it. Printed on linen for a slightly weightier feel, the colours still sing, making it the perfect complement to our florals and stripes. Bold but not overpowering, it brings balance and texture in just the right way. A completely unique design, and already a firm favourite across our Tabatha, Peggy, and Jumpsuit styles.

This print is all about the joy (and quiet competitiveness) of homegrown produce. Months of patient tending lead to this: proudly imperfect carrots, plump courgettes, and runner beans so straight they practically line up on their own. Whether destined for the village fête or just tonight’s dinner, each vegetable tells a story of care, graft, and a bit of gardening magic. It’s a celebration of growing your own, from seed to delicious veg!

There’s nothing quite like plucking a pea pod from the vine as you wander through the garden, a little reward for your efforts, sweet and crunchy and gone before it ever makes it to the kitchen. This print is a tribute to homegrown goodness, to admiring your veg patch with muddy hands and a sense of pride. Peas might be humble, but in the right moment, they’re perfection.

For the plant lovers who are just a little bit potty about their pots. This print is a tribute to those who lovingly carry their finest blooms to the fête, hoping for a rosette (and maybe causing a little green envy along the way). Inspired by the glorious chaos of a flower show table, full of colour, pride, and perfectly arranged petals, it bridges the seasons with fresh, delicate tones and classic Palava illustration. With pops of red and a nod to “Best in Show” spirit, this one’s for anyone who’s ever named their houseplants or polished a terracotta pot before judging.

Back by popular demand, this much-loved piece features Bob, a countryside cat with a knack for stealing the spotlight. Bob belonged to Jim, our photographer, and became an unexpected part of the Palava story when he kept wandering into shot during one of our earlier photo shoots.

The print itself is a border of pure Palava joy. From cornfields to wildflower meadows and where hedgehogs scurry, bugs bustle, and butterflies flit between the blooms. Hidden among it all are curious little creatures, each one with a story of its own. Set against a rich navy background with a pop of orange along the hem, it’s a scene that unfolds like the pages of a picture book, full of nature and classic Palava charm.
