FIRST LIGHT. INSPIRED BY NATURAL SHADOWS, TEXTURE AND PATTERN TAKE CUES FROM UNTAMED, ORGANIC FORMS.

This season’s collection is anchored by an unexpected, environmental muse: a snapshot of daybreak in Far North Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest.

Inspired by the qualities of early morning light unique to this diverse tropical landscape — that fleeting moment just after sunrise; cool air, a warm glow and the quiet promise of what’s to come — our design team sought to capture the ephemeral beauty of soft filtered sun, deep shadow and highly saturated natural colour.

The result? A range of playful, yet practical accessories. One that seeks to bring the sense of awe and optimism that nature’s beauty inspires to everyday dressing.

The season’s palette blends soft, skyward hues with deep, earthbound duskiness. Jewel-toned emeralds, mineral blues, soft pinks and rich earthy shades sit confidently against intensely pigmented darks, reflecting the broad spectrum of the Daintree as light shifts and recedes.

Sueded textures, soft-grain leathers, brushed metals and tactile finishes echo the layered textures of the rainforest floor. Organic influences — from water and plant life to found objects nestled amongst the flora — are expressed through curved hardware, fluid forms and layered detailing.

Charms act as modern talismans: subtle lucky accents reflecting the quiet optimism of a brand new day. Distressed dots appear as softly blurred details, inspired by dappled light through the canopy and butterfly markings, while bird, snake and floral motifs nod to the flora and fauna of the forest.
