read + bell : a bohemian giveaway


The bohemian aesthetic really does compliment motherhood. Since my pregnancy with Che there have been a few staples in my wardrobe that have, quite literally, seen me through the seasons; white peasant tops, floral dresses, patterned scarves. Made from cotton, easy to wear and to wash, they are cool in summer and can be layered in winter. The "floaty" factor is always appreciated; tight and clingy just doesn't feel right anymore. 

It's always a pleasure to promote and work with brands that I genuinely appreciate - for their values as well as their products. Read+Bell is one of my favourites. 

Tory Read and Anne Bell are the creatives behind Read+Bell; an ethical fashion and homewares label inspired by the colour, energy and spirit of India. "Ethics are really important to us so we travel to India each year to work with businesses who are still using traditional artisan techniques, such as block and screen printing, to create our pieces. This in turn keeps these crafts alive and provides employment, especially for women in remote villages," says Tory.

Both women revel in the opportunity to shop the bazaars in India and chat with the local artisans who create their pieces. Vibrant colour is a feature of the label, as is the fine white embroidery evident on many of the dresses and smocks. "Our gorgeous range of white cotton pieces are hand-embroidered in the "chikan" style in Northern India. This style of embroidery provides a soft, rich and organic finish."
