Sahara
Family-owned lifestyle brand Sahara has been creating contemporary womenswear with a unique aesthetic for over 40 years. Inspired by the spirit of adventure, its designers create timeless clothing for the individual using luxurious natural fabrics and traditional techniques. For AW23 its collection is inspired by dreams and fairy tales, featuring whimsical prints in navy, burgundy and violet alongside flashes of electric green and burnt orange. Intricate patchwork prints nod to the mythical patterns found on medieval tapestries while floral prints transform into enchanted forests or faraway jungles. Confetti prints mimic stars on textured fabrics, creating a unique 3D look and photorealistic clouds in emerald bring a contemporary feel to the ethereal collection. These statement pieces sit alongside its best-selling autumn basics, elevated in soft marl jersey and cotton velvet. Minimum order £3,000.
