Bonjour: The Little House On The Prairie
AW22 is our fourth season with Bonjour, and the collection, entitled "Little House On The Prairie", may well be our favourite so far. Brimming with pieces that showcase traditional techniques such as embroidery, smocking, quilting and block-printing in colours, prints and textures influenced by designer Anne Millet's love of travel.
The handmade nature of this collection means that whilst no two pieces are quite the same, every garment has its own unique character and beauty, which for me is one of the things that makes it so special.
Our selection for the Autumn/Winter season spans over 50 clothing styles and includes the sweetest ballet pumps in ivory and navy floral prints and a white ecru fur too. Footwear can sometimes be the stumbling block when putting an outfit together and this sweet selection makes top to toe perfection super simple.
You'll find lots of feminine, winter floral prints in this collection together with the stunning green and indigo jacquard flowers. There are lots of long sleeve pieces (often with the most stunning embroidery detail) as well as the Apron dresses which are lovely layered now and can be worn alone when we eventually transition into warmer weather again. Such a versatile style that works all year round offering real value for money.
Tartan (plaid or checks depending on your geographical location) has been a bit of a winter go-to for me for many years now and Bonjour are really spoiling me this season with a choice of not one but THREE beautiful check colour-ways.
Choose from a traditional red and green or the super striking indigo. Styles span dresses, blouses, the sweetest pyjamas and a gorgeous reversible sailor jacket which has brushed cotton on one side and fur on the other, perfect for keeping cosy on colder days.
If you are looking for warm layers the cardigans in green and black will also see you comfortably through to Spring. A cotton knit with a heart and flowers jacquard design and finished with the prettiest pleated collar.
For special occasions the fushia pieces are really striking and would definitely be my party pick. Made from a special soft fabric with a peached suedette finish in a colour that pops. Just lovely to wear and featuring some beautiful embroidery and hand-smocking.
If you are party planning or want something special for the festive season Bonjour ticks all the boxes. We are thrilled to be stocking this collection exclusively in the UK this season and whilst very limited quantities of some styles and colours remain there are so many gorgeous styles to choose from that your biggest challenge will be not buying it all!
