I-ON LOVES…
…the pretty prints on everything from Ophelia & Indigo, the latest brand to arrive at Biscuit. Created by two London mums who relocated to Brooklyn, the brand’s SS21 collection is inspired by an English country garden. Top of our wish list is the Poppy hydrangea blouse, £95, but they also do a great line in stripes. The collection is available at the Thistle Street or Bruntsfield stores or online at biscuit.clothing.
SPELL IT OUT
The new Typography collection from Mulberry celebrates the brand’s 50th anniversary with a unique abstract design digitally printed onto textured Eco-Scotchgrain –a sustainable version of the original heritage material. Shop the graphic collection at the Multrees Walk store or online at mulberry.com. Mini satchel, £495 and iPhone 12 case, £120.

BRAND OF THE MONTH THE VAMPIRE’S WIFE
WHAT IS IT? Founded in 2016 by English model Susie Cave (the wife of iconic musician Nick Cave), the label offers an offbeat twist on retro glamour.
WHERE DO YOU GET IT? Jane Davidson on Thistle Street has just become the exclusive Scottish stockist.
WHY WE RATE IT... Edgy yet elegant, feminine yet fierce, The Vampire’s Wife has made a huge impact on fashion since its inception and its sharp shouldered, lightly ruffled silhouettes are worn by many a celebrity fashion maven from Kate Moss to Florence Welch. The new collection uses the most beautiful colours and fabrics featuring delectable floral prints.
SHORT STORY
Scotland’s first & Other Stories opens later this month in St James Quarter and while we’re excited about pretty much everything the Scandi brand does; we’re particularly looking forward to getting our hands on the new Mini Me range – a collection of floaty, carefree cotton dresses made for girls and women. The question is can we resist buying it all online before the store opens on 24 June? Doubtful. Kids tiered puff sleeve dress, £45; matching women’s midi wrap dress, £95; stories.com.
