HATS, GLOVES & SCARVES 19 AGATE & AYRE Agate & Ayre is a sustainable textile accessory brand inspired by designer April Hay’s love of geology. April uses her own photography of stones, minerals and geological sites around Scotland to inspire unique textile designs. Working mostly with natural fibres such as silk and bamboo, her fabrics are digitally printed using environmentally conscious inks. Agate & Ayre pieces are sewn by April from her studio in Glasgow where she crafts pieces for the home and wardrobe. www.agateandayre.com MISS MILLY Miss Milly launched its scarf collection for the first time nearly 10 years ago in response to customer demand. Since then scarves have ebbed and flowed in popularity, and different styles and weights have been in and out of favour. A couple of seasons ago, Miss Milly took the decision to stick to an all-year-round weight of 100-120g in a super soft cotton and viscose blend that works really well for printing, resulting in bold and sharp designs with great colours. That decision has been a successful one and has worked well for the brand in delighting existing customers and attracting new retailers looking for a lighter weight scarf in eye-catching designs. Miss Milly’s trade stand display is well known for its attractive combination of jewellery with scarves, and the upcoming Autumn-Winter season will be a bold one with some striking new scarf patterns in vibrant colours. Honeycomb, leaves, bricks and acid retro designs all feature in a kaleidoscope of shades from lime green and fuchsia pink to mustard yellow as well as more neutral browns and greys. The new designs are available online now. Minimum order is just £100 with no MOQs so you can buy the exact quantities you’d like with no need to take the colours you don’t want.
