Cosy up to autumn: Made in the Shade
Vibrant new autumnal collections make packing away summer clothes and embracing the changing season easier – exciting even.
Rich hues, luxurious fabrics such as needle cord and merino, and the return of vests will ensure warmth and style on cooler days.
At Made in the Shade boutique on Colombo St, owner Alison Donn is delighted with this season’s stock.
“Vassalli have a fabulous range of pants and tops in stunning colours peacock and emerald. Bittermoon’s Carly dress is as popular as ever, especially for those attending weddings, and luxury label Royal Merino has knitwear to complete any outfit. This season, I’m especially excited to offer the Marc O’ Polo brand, which blends timeless elegance with a modern twist.”
Alison, known for her love of bold colours, is particularly drawn to the Claire Desjardins range, created by a French-Canadian abstract artist. “One of her striking patterned jackets has a dark fur lining,” Alison says. “It’s reversible and looks fabulous on.”
Alison offers a personal dresser service for those seeking a wardrobe refresh, helping them find everything from the perfect jeans to a mother-of-the-bride outfit. With such expert advice and stunning labels to pick from, autumn dressing just got easier.
