5 new fashion launches we love!
Camel wool coat
Marks & Spencer celebrates its three-year partnership with the British Fashion Council (BFC) with an exclusive capsule collection focussing on the best in British design and manufacture. Each of the 44 pieces in the range has been sourced from a British craftsman. From tailoring by Cheshire Bespoke in Crewe to footwear from shoemakers Cheaney in Northamptonshire, Marks & Spencer has covered all grounds.
The end results are perfect examples of just how fabulous the craftsmanship in Britain really is. This camel wool coat makes an elegant statement and is a great investment - a timeless, tailored piece to create a gorgeous silhouette with everything from jeans to a party dress.

Tillie satchel
Fiorelli is concentrating on the investment bag (every modern woman's essential!) in its first Premium Leather collection. Catering for every taste, the range includes a cross-body bag and a luxurious tote. Fiorelli has it covered!
Our favourite here at GH is the gorgeous Tillie satchel (pictured). The choice of colours and snakeskin leather are very on-trend, and could fool your friends into thinking it was bespoke. With a price tag of £99, you've no excuse not to invest.

Blackberry necklace
Jewellery designer Alex Monroe needs no introduction. His stunning pieces are made with such craftsmanship and attention to detail that anyone would be lucky to own one. Continuing with his signature style that focuses on nature, he has launched a new collection called Banquet. Taking his inspiration from Baroque imagery, Alex has created a mixture of delicate necklaces, regal rings and fine bracelets.
For a different sort of statement necklace, we love this gold-plated blackberry with iolite for £108 (pictured). Its mix of simplicity and precise detail make it a real show-stopper!

Tartan brogue
With tartan a big trend for Autumn/Winter 2013, Clarks has decided to concentrate on this gorgeous heritage print in its next collection. Keeping it very British, the company asked Scotland’s leading supplier of authentic tartan, the Strathmore Woollen Company, to create a bespoke design. The use of traditional techniques means the outcome is outstanding.
These fashion-forward brogues are a perfect example of why we love this new collection, and the would work perfectly for a smart casual look.
