Vintage luggage and brown brogues - a sneak peak of our Autumn collection

September is here and the leaves will soon be turning beautiful shades of copper, russet and brown. With the summer holidays behind us and party season still a few months ahead, this is our favourite month for long weekends away.

And whether we're hopping on the Eurostar to Paris for hot chocolates in arty cafés or enjoying welly clad rambles and rustic cream teas in the Devonshire countryside, we'll be throwing our toothbrush, negligee and aran knits in this spellbindingly beautiful antique luggage set:

Match it up with these luxe long brown leather boots - wear with jodhpurs (making a comeback) for an authentic country casual look. What ho!

Team your artfully androgynous tweed slacks or Chanel homage twin-set with these comely brown brogues. They feature a nice platform heel so your legs will look nice and shapely:

Finally, it's all to easy to reach for sombre shades of black and grey when the nights start drawing in, but a touch of stark white in the mix is wonderfully refreshing, like those blindingly bright and fresh winter mornings. This carpet bag has a lovely 1960s style shape that will complement the Left Bank looks creeping into the shops, and the wallpaper style print has a whiff of old English heritage that will really set off a well tailored camel coat:

New for Autumn: Vintage sheepskin aviator jacket

What fashion rag of late hasn't waxed lyrical about the Aviator sheepskin jacket? I got mine months before Burberry sent their girl trotting down the catwalk, but recently my coat has gone from being a provocation for humour (I've heard all the Biggles jokes) to a coat I fear might get nicked at a party if I leave it down. Over the next month you'll see numerous Aviator copies flying out of the high street shops, but if you you can't afford Burberry and want something well made and unique, we've got just the thing...

Our vintage aviator jacket, modelled by FKV's Miss Ooh La La, combines authentic beaten-up leather with warm and cosy sheepskin. It features the high collar and buckle details as the Burberry version and is worn a little bit oversize for a suitably nonchalant vibe.
