BIRDIE FORTESCUE Andalusia SS24
With brighter days and longer evenings ahead, I always love the fresh start that a new season brings. Whether you’re looking to refresh your entire interior or simply add in a few new pieces, I hope you find inspiration in our Andalusia collection. As always I would like to thank you so much for your ongoing support.
The Story Behind The Collection
We are delighted to present our latest collection, Andalusia, new for Spring Summer 2024. This collection takes inspiration from the rich heritage of Southern Spain, encapsulating the region’s lively culture and distinctive architecture. The carefully considered colour palette injects the warmth of the Spanish sun into your home, harmoniously layering with previous collections and your existing pieces.
As with all our collections, every design and pattern tells a story, inspired by Birdie’s travels, which are then reimagined across block prints, embroidery and furniture. The Cordoba motif finds its roots in the MezquitaCatedral de Córdoba, while the Capilla pattern reflects geometric tiling in the Capilla Mayor in the Catedral de Sevilla. This process of inspiration and design not only leaves each piece entirely unique and crafted with care, but infuses the essence of a captivating journey and a sense of authenticity into every item.
From delicate motifs, unique designs and hand-carved furniture, to statement lighting and soft textiles, the Andalusia collection celebrates sun-filled days and balmy evenings.

Styling notes from Birdie...
Easy Updates for This Season
1. Switch Out Your Cushions
Refreshing your cushions each season will give your interior an instant update, and invite the spring sunshine indoors! Try replacing dark winter prints and weaves with pretty florals, geometrics and linens for a light and fresh look.
2. Bring The Outside In
One of the joys of this season is how nature comes back to life and gives us the opportunity to fill our homes with flowers from the garden. In my opinion you can never have too many, whether they are cut flowers or potted plants. The effect they have on interiors is transformative - bringing beauty, freshness and a sense of vitality to any space.
3. Swap Your Lampshades
Like with cushions, try swapping your lampshades for lighter, more playful designs. Consider floral prints, cheerful stripes and uplifting colours that inject a sense of joy into your interior. Spring and summer are the ideal seasons to embrace colour and pattern, and lampshades are the perfect way to do this!
