If you've popped into our beautiful Brighton store in the last couple of weeks you'll have no doubt noticed we've had a bit of seasonal makeover, embracing all things Autumn and celebrating what has to be my favourite festival of the year, Halloween.

A tradition whose origins trace back to an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain when bonfires were lit and costumes worn to ward off the threat of ghosts, the modern day Halloween provides a great excuse to decorate the house, celebrate all things spooky and of course eat at least half of the sweets the kids have collected out trick or treating!

Mabli is a family-run brand based in Wales, specialising in natural knitwear for children, as well as an ever-growing offering for adults too.

Launched back in October 2016 (and stocked here at Junior Edition since AW18)  Welsh designer Lisa Roberts is an experienced women's knitwear designer who often had envisaged her designs in miniature. Her passion for childrenswear design had always been strong, even before becoming a mother, and once Lisa started a family and returned to her roots in Wales Mabli was born.  

Every Apolina collection stems from designer Caroline Duckett's love of modern craft and the desire to create a line of nostalgic but exciting pieces that can be cherished and passed on. The AW23 collection continues Apolina's love of hand techniques, showcasing new embroideries, crochet finishes and intricate smocking.

This autumn, the new collection's mood looks to a 1960s childhood filled with simple abandon; outdoor play, offbeat styling and no-rules personal expression. Read more and view some of our favourite pieces here...
