The two colours

What cream and sage each bring

A signature pairing. Tonal and soft.

cream

A warm, soft white. Gentler than pure white against the face, and the easiest light colour for warm and muted colouring.

sage

A soft, grey-green. Calm and muted, it's the gentle green for spring and summer.

Works best as: Shirts, knits, dresses and trousers.
