It's been two busy weeks since the launch of our new Autumn Winter '19 collection featuring fresh new designs on our best selling styles and an exciting new addition to our range, the Penzance Puffer Jacket, proudly manufactured here in Britain.
With it being the start of an exciting new season ahead, we caught up with our founder & designer Ellie on the must haves that she will be loving this autumn and her inspiration behind the new collection.
So go on, have a scroll and discover the newest of the new! We're sure that you will love it just as much as we do.
- Ellie, let's start with the most exciting style of AW19! What inspired you to design the Penzance Puffer Jacket this season?
I knew that it was time to add a new category to the range and I have always loved how puffer jackets can be both functional & fashionable. We have had endless amounts of customer feedback this year asking for a jacket to be added to the collection which led me to starting the designs of the Penzance in our signature bold colours & stripes. We love how engaged our customers are with the brand so then decided it was up to them what this new addition should be called and from the competition it led to the Penzance Puffer Jacket.
Available in two classic colours - both Navy and Red in sizes XXS - XL. Featuring side toggles at the waist for the fit of your choice, an interior pocket, crafted from eco friendly wadding and fully waterproof resistant, the Penzance will have you covered - whatever the weather.

On a lazy Sunday or chilled evening at home, which one item do you think everyone should have in their casual wear wardrobe?
I think it has to be the Kingsand Hoodie, it really is so soft with the fleece lining that I never want to take it off! It's perfect for lazy days at home, walking the dogs or evenings riding Billy. My favourite colour is the white as it's the most feminine out of the three but I do love how guys and girls can easily wear all three colours.
Shop The Kingsand Hoodie
A super cosy, oversized layer that's perfect for these transitional autumn days. The Kingsand Hoodie is available in White, Navy & Grey & made from 100% organic cotton.
- So.. we know you love the full collection but if you could only choose just the ONE, what's your favourite item from the Autumn Winter range?
My favourite is the best selling Suffolk Quarter Zip. It's so great to see how much customers are already loving the new design and pastel colour way. It's my go-to for pretty much everything - a day in the office, an evening in the pub or for riding.
A smarter style for those casual days, The Suffolk Quarter Zip is a classic layer that you'll wear with almost everything each season, all year round. Available in three core colours: Blue, Red & Navy in sizes XXS - XL.
