RAFT CLOTHING AT FARM-FEST ON 22ND - 24TH MAY 2026

AND FINALLY we'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to Glenn, family and team at
for all their support and positivity regarding our presence within their stunning garden centre. They, along with Lukes' Tea Room, seem to go from strength to strength and this season the buzz seems even louder as more and more people are thronging their way to a small but perfectly formed family run business with style, quality and customer focus at the forefront. It is a pleasure to be a part of somewhere so special.
Our presence their may be small but it gives you a feel for what we are still doing in abundance in our Ledbury store and online and with the selection of stock changing weekly - there is always something new to check out and pick up for yourself or as a last minute gift.
AND TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD
to follow please see a little update on this seasons latest trends, styles and fashion updates:-
The key focus this season is a blend of romantic bohemianism, "quiet luxury" tailoring, and vibrant, nature-inspired colours. Strong trends being tassels, fringing and lace, floaty and ruffled fabrics, asymmetric hemlines, full skirts (and I'm talking "BIG"), barrel trousers and the pairing of jackets and jeans. Key colours feature soft sage, powder pink, and bright red, alongside neutrals like dove grey.
Sages and Powder Pinks in our gorgeous Gossamer Jackets paired with neutrals and soft pinks Silk Skirts and Anna Lace Tops, complimented by the gorgeous Satin Spot Twilly Scarf.
Lace and silk dominate with a dominant shade of chartreuse there are equally enticing modern takes on blue, red and yellow to add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral ensemble.
High summer reds, yellows, soft pinks and earth tones coming soon.
Skirts are back along with the theory we’ve long suspected (bigger is better) and this is the season to go bright or go home, yet still pulling in the cool classy soft hues with grey emerging as the neutral for SS26. It’s an easy shade to wear head-to-toe, particularly a darker variation like charcoal, or you can use it to subtly temper full-throttle shades like tomato, cobalt or mustard.
Lily and Me and Cream Clothing items above coming soon.
Spring’s hottest couple: jackets and jeans, where a blazer styled with turn-up jeans in a choice of so many shapes (with mid-rise barrel-leg and mid-rise wide-leg jeans taking the front position) - is cool and sophisticated.
A season of grandeur, glamour with a push towards expressive liberation, reclaiming boldness through searing colour or theatrical styling.
"Overall, S/S 26’s mood is maximal detail, romantic volume and accessory-led impact."
A season for hope, experimentation and defining identities, jump in with both feet and enjoy.
