Kate & Kate’s winter 2016 collection is utterly serene

Clean lines, geometric shapes, monochromatic colour schemes and pops of colour. These are all things we love about the Kate & Kate label and their winter 2016 collection, launched today, doesn’t disappoint.

Appropriately titled ‘Exhale,’ the range of linen throws, napkins, cushions, towels and blankets has a very soothing, contemplative vibe – not least in part due to the gorgeous colour palette of peach, navy and grey.

“This season, we have been inspired by a shared desire to pause, reflect and forge a considered path forward. Exhale is a collection of gradient greys, nuanced pinks and blues, free-form shapes and luxurious natural fibres,” says Kate & Kate director Kate Pascoe Squires.

While it’s the brand’s cotton blankets that made them famous, this season, for the first time, they’ve created some with luxurious Alpaca wool – super soft and very warm, these will achieve instant heirloom status. “Only a small number of these blankets have been made and they really are the jewel in the crown of the collection,” says Kate.

We are particularly fond of the new collection of hand screen-printed round and square cushions with contrast piping. The brand’s linen throws are back too – ideal for use as a lightweight blanket on a lounge, a beach throw, wall hanging, table cloth or picnic rug, it’s their versatility that gets our seal of approval.
