The two colours

What sage and white each bring

A signature pairing. Fresh and airy.

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.

white

Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.

Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
