NPB SS24: Tutta Bella!

It all started last year in Puglia… Italy is such a great source of inspiration and our week spent at ‘the heel’ was truly that

There were so many beautiful towns to visit, we packed in- Brindisi, Lecce, Ostuni, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Grottaglie, Ceglie and Polignano! All stunning and with their own distinct personalities and a photo opportunity around every corner!

I hope you like the new fabrics, some of them were bought in Apulian markets and shops, some I’ve had for while, some newly sourced. All are joyful, vintage and in very limited supply

Please register your interest if there’s anything you love, I can post swatches and also advise on garment availability and suitability

THE STORY

The NPB Summer Collection 2024: Tutta Bella, ‘All Beautiful’ is inspired by holidays in Italy- pastel painted villages and delicious gelato

Think 1960’s Italian movies and holiday destinations, from the Amalfi coast to the lakes, from Roman Holiday to La Dolce Vita

The colours are zingy and cheerful, like ice cream flavours- Lemon, Pistachio and Neapolitan - they are enough to make your mouth water! 

From tie strap summer dresses to a statement puff sleeve blouse, a versatile skirt and top co-ord to cute pair of shorts - there’s lots of choice for special made for you “Tutta Bella” pieces

Whether you’ll be supping on an Aperol Spritz in Capri or Clapham this Summer, I hope this collection will bring you some sunshine…

The Riviera Collection

The Riviera Collection is inspired by the 1950’s and 1960’s glamour of the Côte d’Azure. The technicolour movies and the film stars and artists who spent time there from Matisse to Bridget Bardot

The fabrics are fun and joyful, a real dopamine hit! The cuts, as always find the right mix of comfort and style.

Keep an eye out for the new fabrics and get in touch to pre-order your Spring Summer pieces!

THE CONTRAST SLEEVE

A new addition to the NPB collection is the contrast puff sleeve!

If you’re daunted by an all over print then blocking in a plain black bodice is the way to go! The ‘party’ blouses are going down a storm- I have some gorgeous options for sleeves from vintage lurex to striped silver to rainbow ribbon silk chiffon!

The blouses are available in a choice of sizes

£110 Made to order.

There are also options on neckline, long or short sleeves, blouses or frocks- Message me!

The New Sleeve!

For the new season I have taken the Puff Sleeve a step further! I have lengthened it and added a stretch ribbed cuff that can be comfortably pushed up to give a puffier sleeve or worn at the wrist for warmth. The new longer puff sleeve is available for tops as well as frocks with fabric and cuff options

Shown here in Hilma and Bloomsbury fabrics, part of the Modernist Collection, (the ribbed hem is optional)

The Modernist Collection

I’m excited to introduce some new fantastic vintage fabric finds to the collection!

With abstract, painterly prints in rich colours and beautiful textures, they are reminiscent of early-mid 20th Century art works, I am therefore dedicating this new season to the Modernist movement. I have named the fabrics in a tribute to female artists who were trailblazers of their time, I’ve been enjoying researching these incredible women and will be sharing their stories over the coming weeks.

These fabrics are available for Made to Order pieces: simply choose a fabric and a garment and get in touch. We’ll discuss details and I’ll make your clothes! I’m always here to answer any questions so please do get in touch
