BOHEMIANS: OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO

We do get a kick out of seeing where our clothes go, even when we are stuck behind our sewing machine. 
(Our clothes have have far more glamourous advenutures then we)
Enter Fouché
(it rhymes with 'soufflé')
showing off a little, en route from Saint Tropez:

the ALIX of BOHEMIA Saffron Dress
being fancy in the sky,
perfectly paired with those nude gladiators.

Then sweet Nikki sent postcards from the shores of Javea
(it is so very useful having beautiful people wear our clothes)
The ALIX of BOHEMIA Duckie Dress:
In shades of sherbet against the shore.


Where do you wear your Bohemia? 
We are longing to know!
Send us images, and stories if you please? here.

THE PRINCE OF PRINTS: KAFFE FASSETT



So seeing as it was the weekend 
(it was only a couple of days ago, remember?)
we were in the mood for a bit of an outing.
We pulled on some TEDDIE SHORTS and a very old jumper with holes in the elbows
and almond milk latte in hand, 
we headed across the bridge. 


And what did we find?
an exhibition on one of our heros, 
monsieur Kaffe Fassett.
Talk about a life in colour;
the man is a painter, quilter, textile, tapestry and mosaic designer.
His are the fabrics we have loved and used for many years of our bohemian collections
Why, of course artichoke and beetroot are the perfect pairing with your Ming vase:

Our favourite part, easily the studies for those fantastical textiles:
Hello Hippie Garden!






Oh what a beautiful garden he grows.
Had we known we would have dressed more appropriately for the occasion, in one of our garments made from his jolies tissues.
like this one:
Olivia in ALIX of BOHEMIA Livvy Dress in made from Kaffe's Beach Roses
 Or this one:
Bella in an ALIX of BOHEMIA custom Maxi Dress
Or perhaps a favourite variety of Teddie: 
ALIX of BOHEMIA Teddie Shorts in Kaffe's Lavender Surf
Hippie Mama in ALIX of BOHEMIA Lemonade Blouse in Kaffe's acid


We drenched our little brains in colour and soaked up all that acid and day-glo whimsy.
You must go! its fantastico.

BOHEMIANS IN GREEN: CLAIRE IN THE RAGGEDY





Our hands were itching a little, 
and our little comrade Claire was in need of a jacket
and so the sister to the Red Raggedy was born,
the ALIX of BOHEMIA Raggedy Jacket in Jade.
Which she wore while reading to us about purple gold and bohemian garnets from her book of gems.
And what a gem she is (Claire, not the jacket, though we love her too.)

A little ruffled trim, a touch of checkered piping and a cool glass 

with some secret stitched daisies on the shoulders, on top of a little horse and hound toile


And might we suggest the perfect pairing for the wine, and the Jade Raggedy?
The Gretel Teddie Shorts, to match.
Suit up baby, its shining outside. 



ALIX of BOHEMIA Jackets are made to order and completely hand made in London.
Like it, love it, want some more of it? say hi here
