Autumn Winter 2021

AW21 New World, New Values For our Autumn/Winter 2021 collection, we continue to take inspiration from our artisan archives sourced from Southern Asia. We have interpreted our textile history through the use of hand knits, woven ikats, checks and stripes, all cut in contemporary, enduring silhouettes. The environment remains a central theme, which is reflected in the colour palette and use of natural, organic yarns throughout the range. As a sustainable and Fair Trade fashion brand, People Tree showcases the slow fashion model as the fairest way to operate within an industry that has become well-known for its negative environmental impact. The global pandemic has meant our lifestyles have also drastically slowed down and with this we have designed a collection that is both functional and desirable. Our pieces have a relaxed feel for comfort in the home and can also be layered for added cosiness during journeys outdoors.

Pre-Collection We commence with our pre-collection drop - featuring a classic colour palette of navy, rich reds and blue-wash denim. This earlier drop showcases transitional pieces for late summer, which can also be layered during the autumn months. Includes true People Tree favourites such as the breton stripe - this season in loose shapes, across a range of styles. Organic corduroy in versatile navy shade underpins our pre-collection, featuring menswear-inspired details such as gathered yokes, giving a contemporary feel. Dresses and skirts in this drop are voluminous and freespirited, seeking inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement of the 1970s. The prints for our pre-collection celebrate our artisans and the traditional technique of hand weaving.

Wool Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton is part of our DNA and is the only way to guarantee that cotton has not just been grown organically, but that it’s processed organically too. Organic cotton farming does not use toxic chemicals, pesticides, fertilisers or genetically modified seeds. The cotton farms we use in India are based in rain-fed areas and the farmers use natural composting methods to create healthy soils. You can feel the difference in our super soft sustainable range. Free of toxic chemicals, the hypoallergenic quality of organic cotton makes it not just kind on the environment, but kind on your skin.

V&A Collaboration For our capsule collection in collaboration with the V&A we looked to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the 19th century to create this season’s prints. Featuring two intricate floral patterns that encapsulate William Morris’ ideals, cut in feminine shapes, which nod to a 70s revival. Celandine print: Based on a pretty wallpaper from 1896 by John Henry Dearle, this pattern is reminiscent of many of Morris & Co.’s early designs with its simple meadow flowers and structure of climbing foliage. Combining earthy tones and a hint of 1970s nostalgia makes Celandine perfect to combine with neutrals.

Organic Cotton Denim It took us a long time and a lot of research but we are proud to be working with SARP JEANS on our GOTS certified dyed and washed denim jeans. SARP producers have been audited by FWF (Fair Wear Foundation) and have guaranteed us their laundry partners are GOTS certified. They are currently undertaking research and pioneering innovative development to find ways to improve the distressing and washing techniques of denim. Employees are trained about the environment, and efforts are made to protect both water and energy. In addition to this, they run a tree planting project in the arid regions of Turkey, and so far have planted over a 1000 trees.
