So much of what lands in my inbox gets dispatched with a pretty swift delete (seriously, how many stupid things have I signed up to over the years?) so it was a great surprise to be sent something that is right up my street. Nearfar make clothes using West African fabric, which is one of my TRU LUVS 4 EVA and their ethical credentials are pretty impressive. Their AW collection features a more muted palette than your usual selection of pagne fabrics, but the blacks and browns are just the thing to mix up your camel pieces should you have stockpiled heavily on Chloe neutrals. The shapes: shift dresses, minis and pleated trousers, are gently unobtrusive and make me think of those pieces in your wardrobe that creep up and you suddenly realise you couldn’t do without.
