Dear all,
Thank you for being part of our community. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to do what we love. We’re always listening to our customers, whether the feedback is good or bad.
We wanted to briefly reflect on what we did right and what we got wrong last year, as well as share what’s coming in 2026. One of the great things about being a small, independent company is that we can pivot and adapt quickly, and our customers’ voices have a real influence on our decisions. So please feel free to share your feedback or ideas about what you’d like to see — we’ll always do our best to make it happen.
Overall, 2025 was a good year and one of significant change. We hired a new designer, doubled down on quality, eco-friendly fibres, and ethical manufacturing, upgraded our website, and made several internal changes that will help us truly reach our sustainability and quality goals in 2026.
However, not everything was a success. We adjusted our style slightly in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience, but the response wasn’t always what we had hoped for. While our latest range featured our best fabrics and craftsmanship to date, some designs may have felt a little too toned down — perhaps too mainstream.
But don’t worry — we’ve listened, and we’re bringing back more interesting, quirkier designs that are closer to our roots. In 2026, you can expect more distinctive designs and cuts, better-than-ever fabrics and overall quality, more colours and textures, and a more diverse range of models in our photoshoots.
Once again, we’d like to thank you for your continued support and wish you all the very best for 2026.
