Mermaids and Bows - Modern Summer Hosiery



After the storming success of their first collection (for which they picked up Best Accessories Designer of the Year at the Vogue Scottish Fashion Awards) we are delighted to launch the second collection of hand printed hosiery by designers Chloe Patience and Mhairi McNichol. 



The Spring/Summer collection sees their trademark soft tights and socks illustrated with all manner of playful things from Geisha flowers (elegantly finishing on the ankle), sailors, anchors, love birds to mermaids that swim around the legs.



In our climate it can be tricky to dress for a summer wedding or a spring garden party. I often, optimistically, wear a thin cotton dress only for my poor legs to be shaking with the cold underneath - well no more! I will be donning a pair of the Pearl Geisha Tights (above) to wear with my white tunic and tan gladiator wedges, feeling summery but snug, and perhaps a bit smug (well, I am wearing the the most beautiful tights in the world after all).
 

Or how about these gorgeous and incredibly functional little socks. Wear them peeking out under rolled up trousers or with a dress for a fresh quirky look.

Available from the Summer Hosiery Department  
Prices start from £16.95
