The Autumn Collection

‘Christina Strutt designs clothes that are just the right side of fancy dress. Her tiny fashion label

Cabbages & Roses, turns out clothes that work as an every day wardrobe - really they do - but they

also make you feel as if you are in a film. Perhaps A Room With a View, or maybe Alice in

Wonderland - the clothes have character and huge charm.’

-Katrina Burroughs - HOW TO SPEND IT : FINANCIAL TIMES

This is my favourite description of Cabbages & Roses clothes, and though I wouldn't say so myself,

I would have liked to. Thank you Katrina Burroughs.

Red cashmere Maclean sweater worn with the Melissa collared T-shirt coming soon.

It is, though, exactly what our new collection is, just the right side of fancy dress, clothes to watch the new film 'Little Women' in, or perhaps to stride across muddy fields, or to turn heads on the bus whilst walking up The Kings Road.

We have always said, there is no point in producing clothes that mimic others, that you could buy much more cheaply elsewhere. We want to create an air of practical whimsy where you can dress up or dress down as the mood takes you. As I write, the new collection is being cut and sewn and delivered, bit by bit.
