The Summer Scrapbook: Lake Days, Golden Hours & Quiet Luxury
There’s something magical about summer in the Lake District.
Not the over-saturated kind you see in postcards, but something quieter. A feeling. A flicker of sunlight through the trees on a morning walk. The hush of a still lake before the world wakes up. The scent of warm grass and cool stone. The first sip of something cold at a pub garden table, just as the light starts to stretch and soften.
It’s the season where time slows down a little. Where days are shaped by simple pleasures - unplanned detours, bare feet on boat jetties, long drives with the windows down. There’s no need to rush. Just space to wander, explore, and return with windswept hair and mud on your boots.
Our summer collection was made for these moments. Crafted to age beautifully and move effortlessly with you, each piece brings a sense of quiet luxury to wild places. Buttery-soft leather jackets for when the breeze rolls in. Breezy layers and relaxed fits that don’t try too hard, but still feel special. Easy staples you’ll reach for again and again – the kind that become part of the memory.
So wherever the season takes you - lakeside picnics, golden-hour strolls, impromptu pub stops - take something that travels well, wears well, and feels just right.
The Lakes are calling, and we’ll help you pack.
