NOSTALGIC CHARM
FEATURE KATY MCLEAN
Inspired by romantic notions of Victorian picnics and secret gardens, combined with a nod to chinoiserie, Julia Brendel’s Victorian Tale collection encapsulates a softly contemporary take on classic country style. The delicate depiction of birds perched on blossom-filled branches creates a design that can be given extra charm with the addition of ruffle and pom-pom trims or take a sleeker guise in a graphic black print. Perfect for setting the scene for a country picnic. Victorian Tale fabrics, £65 a metre, Julia Brendel
