Gorgeous garments: Made in the Shade

For lovers of beautiful clothes, there is nothing more exciting than new arrivals from their favourite brands.

Alison Donn, owner of mMade in the Shade, is right there with them, unpacking and filling the store with irresistible new garments.

The iconic Anne Mardell bids her farewell with her closing collection for summer 2024, one that signifies the treasured local reign the designer has had. A wizard of textile utilisation and creating gorgeously flattering clothing, Anne’s designs hang proudly on the Made in the Shade racks.

New to the store, French-Canadian Claire Desjardins blends colour and texture, leaving beautifully cut styles, in everything from flowy blouses to fun gym leggings. Hailing from a background in abstract art, Claire’s designs are a breath of creativity.

To transition into spring styles, Blackstone’s latest champions natural fibres, for comfortable, breathable wear, while Canadian-designed Vassalli highlight white and navy shades, and their golf dress is a must-have. To flatter any figure, choose Bittermoon’s Carly dress, which Alison says is a forever favourite of her customers.

For those escaping to warmer weather, Alison suggests curating a travel wardrobe from Lisette’s latest collection. Comfortable, travel-ready styles in gorgeous neutrals make it an easy task.

Find your new wardrobe at Made in the Shade, with all winter garments currently half-price. Alison encourages all to visit her new Facebook page for the latest updates or contact her on 027 412 0086.
