Papier X V&A
Papier’s Spring collection this year is inspired by the folk bohemian styles of the Bloomsbury Group and the Ballet Russes. To add to the collection, they’ve teamed up with the V&A on a range of notebooks, planners and diaries that feature 18th century hand-painted papers and fabric designs from the V&A’s library. The patterns were taken from early 18th century designs by Heussner & Co., acquired by the V&A in the 1870s, for furnishings, dress fabrics and patterned papers. Shop now.
Amy Kent x Daydress
Former Creative Director of House & Garden, Gabby Deeming set up Daydress in 2017 making hand-block printed dresses inspired by 18th Century Indian and French prints. She has gone from strength to strength, using her designs for wallpapers last year. This week she launched a collaboration with Amy Kent with a series of rugs with her distinctive designs. Our favourite is the Floral Ogee, pictured right. Shop now.
Matthew Williamson x John Lewis
Matthew Williamson x John Lewis
If there is anybody who can push John Lewis out of their rather beige homewares comfort zone, it’s Matthew Williamson. True to form, his signature peacocks pop up all over the place in the new line of lights, mirrors, bedding and throws. Our top pick? This rather handsome wild cat cushion. Shop now.

From Georg Jensen x Stine Goya

Giving them a fresh, colourful palette using silver and enamel, these pretty earrings, bracelets and necklaces are sure to become modern day classics. Shop here.
Manolo Blahnik x Birkenstock
It came as something of a surprise when Manolo Blahnik, veteran designer of the classic satin, bejewelled high heeled shoe, recently confessed to being a closet Birkenstock sandal fan. The resultant collaboration is, of course, very luxe with diamonte clasps and velvet but still with that comfort of the Birkenstock flat. Set your diary reminders for March 24th when the collaboration is launched. Shop here.
