Cottage Bleu is Robin Pickens’ 10th release outside her basics collection, Thatched. She regularly uses a lot of bright colours in her work, and the colour scheme of Cottage Blue is no exception—while additionally offering a calm and contemporary coolness.

Traditional homely colour and designs are finding a growing audience today. The so-called “cottagecore” movement is this generation’s take on the bohemian ‘90s “shabby chic”, with a nostalgic and romantic rural and farmhouse design aesthetic being increasingly popularized by social media.

Abi Hall’s latest collection for Moda is just what we need in the darker winter months. It’s full of fun, summerlike fabrics that are full of cheer to remind us of warmer days to come.
