Colour:

Dawn Horizonwas created by placing luxury worsted yarns of the most beautiful blue-grey hue across the warp. This subtle, but heavenly blue is the colour of the sky when the sun starts its ascent, painting the sky with blue striations and a gentle pink blush. This pink blush is the colour of the contrast yarn that sits across the weft and forms the feature chevrons for the herringbone.

This gentle and natural-shell pink is the perfect partner to the almost airforce blue alongside. The combination of yarns gives the fabric an impression of self-assured feminine style, (without being girly) and is ideal for teaming with your favourite denim apparel.
