FREE LOVE AND BLUE DAISIES






FIRST THINGS FIRST,
POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, 
JESSIE AND THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA 
FREE LOVE WAISTCOAT AT COACHELLA:
 THROWING US HER SEVENTIES GROOVY GROUPIE  IN A TOPPER WE MADE FOR HER. BRONZED YOGA BUNNY MEETS ANITA PALLENGBERG COOL. 
(AND THAT IS A VERY SPECIFIC VARIETY THEY ONLY GROW IN CALIFORNIA)
AND SPEAKING OF NOTABLE OUTERWEAR, WE'LL MOVE INTO OUR BLUE PERIOD:

IT STARTED, AS MOST THINGS BEGIN FOR US, BY SWATCHING SOME HEAVENLY BLUES FOR A CUSTOM LORELEI JACKET FOR EMMA.
PICASSO SAYS:
WHEN I RUN OUT OF RED I USE BLUE
BUT REALLY WE DON'T NEED TO EXHAUST OUR ROUGE SUPPLY TO BE SWAYED BY SHADES OF INDIGO AND CERULEAN,
WE GO BLUE PRETTY EASILY.
EMMA CHOOSES JAPANESE INDIGO DAISIES, SOME INDIAN BATIK FOR PIPING AND SOME OLD LACE FROM FRANCE.

AND THEN THIS WAS EMMA'S LORELI JACKET:



WE KNOW SHE DOESN'T BELONG TO US BUT WE HAD TO PUT HER ON FOR A BLURRY BATHROOM PHOTO BEFORE WE HANDED HER OVER.
PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW, THOUGH SHE HAS A GOOD HOME WITH DARLING EMMA IN NOTTING HILL.
DON'T GET US WRONG, WE LOVE ALL OF OUR CHILDREN EQUALLY,
BUT THIS BLUE JEAN BABY WAS PARTICULARLY HARD TO PART WITH. 
(CUE MORE BLUES)

JACKETS ARE HANDMADE IN LONDON AND ONE OF A KIND. 
BECAUSE THATS THE WAY WE DO IT DARLINGS- UNIQUE, C'EST CHIC.
