MEDIAMARMALADE X OLIVER BONAS

. OLIVER BONAS SS15 FASHION COLLABORATION .

I’ve been a huge fan of Oliver Bonas for quite a few years now, in fact if you ever visit my house, you may double take it for a store. I am obsessed with their home décor and accessories collections and have spent the last year or so filling my house with anything and everything. Next on my hit list is this gorgeous copper book holder, these printed cushions and I’m forever dreaming of this chair.  Whilst my home is pretty much an Oliver Bonas showroom, it was only really this year that I’ve truly discovered their fashion range too … and boy was I missing out.

It’s funny how you can be such a fan of something, to the point of obsession (I mean half my salary goes in there), but not even realize there’s more to discover! Well that’s how I feel about the Oliver Bonas fashion collection. I’ve always adored their home décor and accessories, from the panama hats to intricately detailed clutch bags and purses, but I’ve never really stopped to check out the clothing ranges. I have no idea why, but I’m glad I’ve realized the error of my ways now.

After having a lovely catch up with the OB team last week, we took a stroll through the store and checked out all the new season collections. Naturally I fell head over heels with pretty much all of it, in particular the vibrant and standout printed summer dresses (including this printed two piece co-ord which I will be living in all summer) which I would say are Oliver Bonas’s signature style (prints, vibrancy, colour is what they’re all about)! Oliver Bonas is a brand I love even more so due to its local heritage and beautiful designs created in house by their fab designers who clearly take such pride in their collections and designs. In fact I fell even more in love with the brand after learning about its set up and heritage – founder ‘Ollie’ (Oliver Bonas to you or I) launched the store after becoming renowned for bringing back fabulous gifts from his trips to Asia visiting his parents who had relocated, and that to this day he’s still fully involved in every aspect of the brand & their collections.

If I didn’t love the brand enough already, the new Summer collection has certainly pushed me over the edge. I can’t wait to share with you the rest of my picks & outfits featuring their new range, but I wanted to kick off with a firm favourite, the printed co-ord!

Are y0u an Oliver Bonas fan too? What do you think of their summer collection and this gorgeous little two piece from the new range.
