Excited to share my new reusable bags with Flip & Tumble! Years ago when reusbable bags came on the scene, I actually ordered my very first one from them… I love those full-circle moments. The quality is amazing, they’re built to last, and I love how they fold up into a perfect little ball.
planners for mead cambridge (a target exclusive)
BIG NEWS! I’m so excited to share my new 2021-2022 Planners in collaboration with Mead Cambridge! These beauties are sold exclusively Target stores all across the US which thrills me to no end! They’ll help you stay organized from July 2021 to June 2022 and will hopefully be a little reminder of the bright side of life. As a kid Mead Cambridge was a big part of my back-to-school routine so it’s pretty great to see my very own work on their products! And feels great to be on the shelves of Target too.
When I was first starting out in this beloved career of mine, there were certain benchmarks I set for myself and Target occupied big space on that dreams list. I’ve had a few brushes with Target over the years but usually with my work being used more anonymously. So, having products as an exclusive range just at Target, with my own branding and image, feels like a big one for me! Huge warm thanks the Cambridge team who were a dream to collaborate with on so many levels. I hope you enjoy them!
With the pandemic, I’m not going to have that in-store moment of seeing them in real life on shelves… but maybe you will! If you spot them in Target stores, I would love to see your pics!
swimwear for align swim
Well I am BEYOND excited introduce Boavida, my first swimwear collection with Align Swim! Not only did I design the prints but I also got to design the swimwear itself too!! Align gave me so much room to share the story and inspiration that went into it. Align is an amazing female-driven sustainable swim brand — the suits are made with Repreve, a fabric made from post-consumer plastics. So this collab really checks all of my boxes!
There are 3 prints across a variety of pieces, both one-pieces and bikini separates. The collection is named Boavida, as an homage to my adopted homeland of Portugal. Boavida means ‘the good life’ in Portuguese and it’s here that I feel like I’ve really learned to enjoy the abundant pleasures that the natural environment has to offer, particularly with the stunning beaches. The prints are also named in Portuguese… the Ponto print (means ‘dot’), the Arco print (Arco-Iris is rainbow in Portuguese) and the Flores print (means ‘flowers’, of course!). And the pieces themselves, which I designed to have a bit more coverage while still feeling super stylish, fun and feminine, are named after Portuguese women’s names like Ana, Sofia and Joana.
You can see the whole beautiful collection at Align’s website. The collection has a limited run so when it’s gone, it’s gone! I am so grateful for the opportunity to bring one of my longest-standing dreams come true in a way that I just feel so good about. During the process I’ve felt like I’m growing, flourishing and coming into my own in a whole new way. Every fibre in me has been saying, this is where I want to be. It has just fused all of my creative passions, giving me space to explore pattern, fashion, sustainability, storytelling, writing and branding all in one… I feel so fulfilled and still can’t believe it’s real.
