Collections – Jody and Lara

Collections

There are 3 collections in this launch range. Sea Breeze which is your classic navy and white, inspired by blue seas and the white sails of sailing boats. A classical range of swimwear for boys and girls who enjoy water based sports like Sailing, Surfing, Paragliding Kayaking or stand up paddle boarding. The SPF 50+ protection means you can play in the sun in the seam rivers or outdoor pools while being protected from the sun's harmful UV rays.

California Sunshine which has it's roots in the surfing community using the hibiscus flower print and Coral and Turquoise colours. When I first had samples made in lovely pale colours of Turquoise and coral, they looked great at home, but when we took them to Cyprus to wearer trial on the beaches and in the sea and photograph them in the Mediterranean sunshine. We learnt very quickly what looks like pretty colours in our English daylight, look washed out in the bright Cyprus sun, so when I came back to the UK I re-coloured my designs and made the colours much stronger and richer, so they look great in any sun on holiday.

And finally Beach Butterfly, this was the first collection to evolve, I saw this sari and it knocked my socks off, the colours were bold and exciting, Indigo and Hot pink! I mixed these colours with a butterfly which I always find as an inspiring image and that's how Beach Butterfly was born. My favourite is the Indigo long sleeve top with the huge hot pink butterfly on it. I wish I had made this in women's sizes, I love it!
