Animal Progress and The Winter New

ss1Well I’m not a scientist but I can tell that after a freakishly long Summer, Old Man Winter has arrived. The clues are there- its cold, its raining and it gets dark in the middle of the day. But its not all bad news- finally its time to wear all the winter wooliness thats coming out this season.

First up, let me introduce you to a new label from Sydney, Serpent and the Swan. Sisters Laurie and Hayley design this knitwear from merino wool, cotton and modal, and detail it with handmade resin animals. So so unusual, a lovley thing to have.

Next up is the colourful collection from Minty Meets Munt. Texture is the order of the day with faux fur, leather, wool, lace and velvet all making an appearance. mmm1

We also have new clothing in from Limedrop, if you misssed out on their first drop, we now have new tartan and linen shirts in and that amazing cloude print blazer has arrived!

New Jewellery has also arrived- new brooches from Labthreeofive as well as these new cuties from Sniffle Co!sn1sn2

Steven Shein that talented designer from LA has come up with some wild new designs to amaze us. His new perspex bangles, rings and earrings feature real gold flecks and bold text. shein2

*** SNEAK PEEK***

After such a huge response to our Choose the Animal For the Next Lenko Sweater Competition I’ve been feeling the pressure to come up with designs to do your winning nominations justice. As you may know, the winning animals were Toucan, Lemur, Seal and Unicorn (it IS a real animal). I can now tell you the designs are done! The drawings were turned into templates which I traced onto fabric and all the animal body parts were cut up and are now being sewn onto the sweaters! I’m never touching scissors again!!! I hope you like the outcome! Here is a sneak peek from Lenko HQ of our test toucan… stay tuned for the launch event! toucantest

Stay warm my friends in these cold times. Hug for warmth if you have to.
