White is fresh, innocent, and a genuine classic to boot. White readapts over and over to vibrant colours as well as pastels, lending that revitalising touch. White belongs to the “non-colours”, and is ­summer’s black. That’s why we’ve tailored both garments and living accessories in this airy colour for you in this issue.
But this coming spring’s palette doesn’t just have white on offer. The new look features both sporty and very feminine collections in subtle, understated shades, as well as vibrant colours with which
to create a bold new mix. Those who prefer things a bit more sedate can team this cornucopia of colour with black or white.

Easter is just round the corner, and the first tentative rays of sun tempt us out of doors more often once more. Not that there’s not enough to do, but what would you say to a cycle tour? What’s that – you’ll have to clean up the old war horse again first – it’s seen better days? Don’t worry, we know the score – which is why we’ve dreamt up a special makeover for your bike. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Spring unfortunately has its fair share of rainy days, but then again there’s nothing so boring as the same weather all the time. So let’s be glad of the rain, and take advantage of the less beautiful days to bring a touch of order and a few new fashionable details into our home offices and studies. The felt projects and a decorative apple print are sure to put you in the mood.


Wishing you hours of pleasure reading, sewing and crafting,
