NPB SS24: Tutta Bella!
It all started last year in Puglia… Italy is such a great source of inspiration and our week spent at ‘the heel’ was truly that
There were so many beautiful towns to visit, we packed in- Brindisi, Lecce, Ostuni, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Grottaglie, Ceglie and Polignano! All stunning and with their own distinct personalities and a photo opportunity around every corner!
I hope you like the new fabrics, some of them were bought in Apulian markets and shops, some I’ve had for while, some newly sourced. All are joyful, vintage and in very limited supply
Please register your interest if there’s anything you love, I can post swatches and also advise on garment availability and suitability
THE STORY
The NPB Summer Collection 2024: Tutta Bella, ‘All Beautiful’ is inspired by holidays in Italy- pastel painted villages and delicious gelato
Think 1960’s Italian movies and holiday destinations, from the Amalfi coast to the lakes, from Roman Holiday to La Dolce Vita
The colours are zingy and cheerful, like ice cream flavours- Lemon, Pistachio and Neapolitan - they are enough to make your mouth water!
From tie strap summer dresses to a statement puff sleeve blouse, a versatile skirt and top co-ord to cute pair of shorts - there’s lots of choice for special made for you “Tutta Bella” pieces
Whether you’ll be supping on an Aperol Spritz in Capri or Clapham this Summer, I hope this collection will bring you some sunshine…
Over the Rainbow

THE CARNIVAL COLLECTION
I firstly want to send a message to all my lovely and valued customers- I’m sad to not be seeing you at events or at the studio this Spring but I hope you are all well, staying safe and coping with what is becoming our strange new reality. This new collection’s joyful prints might just lift your spirits in these unsettled times, please get in touch if you’d like some happy post sent out to you!
I’m very fortunate that my studio is in my house so I can keep on creating whilst staying at home. I will limit trips to my (very local) post office to once every fortnight at most.
Keep an eye out for the new garments; as well as the gorgeous puff sleeve top and frock, I’ll be introducing the wide legged trouser/culotte and the lightweight coat, (although these will be only be available as one off pieces until I can get out fabric hunting again…..)
Orders can be discussed via the contact button below, I can send out fabric swatches and offer advice as to fabric suitability and garment fit. I make your item either to the standard sizes (see individual garment pages via the button below) or from your measurements. It’s really straightforward, a quick email exchange and you can have your own bespoke piece winging it’s way to you. Or if you prefer, I can take pre-orders and send items out later in the season when, hopefully the situation has improved.
I also have a small collection in stock, including most of what is pictured here. Please message me to see what I have ready to go. I’m currently offering free postage and returns on all items.
And don’t forget about NPB if you have gifts to buy! I have a selection of head and neck scarves in stock or I can make to order in a wide choice of fabrics. I also sell gift vouchers for any amount or for a specific garment and can post directly to the recipient.
Keep well, keep positive and remember to dress happy (it helps!)
