There is no hiding the fact that we are all about pastels, the odd pop of colour and some cute patterns...our entire collection is made up of that 50's ice cream parlour look.
However, I have been emailed a few times about "what do I have coming for winter?", "will you be doing dark colours?" and "do you do this in black?"
As much as I love throwing on a polo neck, some tartan and thick woollen tights - it isn't what The Fifty Five Collection is about. We are a brand inspired by Palm Springs, the candy coloured dream that it is. The 50's colour pallets, the pastel front doors and the eternal sunshine (out of 356 days, 350 are sunshine) - and with that you don't get the need for winter coats and layers. SO, we will be staying in summer thank you! Thats not to say you can't wear our designs year round - a clever pair of navy tights and a cropped jumper worn with our gingham skirts would look amazing. A leather jacket and biker boots would make our hibiscus print dresses look killer....so there are options peeps!
We just don't want to produce SS and AW lines every year - we are a small company, some of you may know we had major production issues this year - which really set us back and made me question whether I would even keep the brand going. We don't have the man power or finances to produce large collections each 'season' so what we will be doing is adding bits and pieces throughout the year to suit the climate - whether it's some accessories to help make our clothes 'wearable' during the colder months (although I don't know if it will ever be cold again with these insane heatwaves) and in the spring adding some new pieces to the existing collection. It will be a forever revolving online boutique!!! Exciting no?!
I get it, everyone is super excited about Halloween, then Christmas - but that doesn't mean that you can't wear a fabulous Campbell Crafts piece too!!!! Oh and half the world is living a summer dream while we are in winter - so all you lovelies - you don't have an excuse!
Our pieces are limited edition, we make small runs - so once its gone - it is really gone and we are on to the next colour way or design...so you are kind of buying something that not everyone will have, from a small woman run business based in the UK - with our production all done here in the UK too!
SO, don't be looking for any winter warmers here at CC - its all about California baby..... via the UK.
