Gentle Close

Collection 04 — Autumn

Gentle
Close

The season learning to let go. Colours that have softened from their summer confidence into something quieter, more considered — and somehow more beautiful.

The Story

The beauty of
letting go slowly

"There is a particular grace in autumn. It is the season that has the most to lose and loses it most beautifully."

Gentle Close was made for the weeks when you start wearing your coat again — when the light turns golden and sideways, and the garden begins its patient retreat. This is not a melancholy collection. It finds warmth in the muting, beauty in the fade.

The palette is dusty, dried-flower soft: rose that has faded but not lost its shape, sage that has yellowed at the edges, rust that has settled from orange to something earthier. These are the colours of comfort, of things well-loved and slightly weathered.

Colour Story

"Gentle Close adapts beautifully. Pull it cool for a winter colourway; warm it toward the golds for a harvest feel. This palette has a natural versatility that speaks to multiple seasonal placements."

The Designs

Pattern Details

Three prints drawn from the quieter end of the garden — foliage at rest, seed heads, spent blooms that have found a different kind of beauty.

Dried Rose
Scattered Repeat
The Dried Rose
Roses at the end of their summer — petals softened, colours muted, still beautiful. On dusty blush and warm mushroom grounds.
Seed Head
Half-Drop Repeat
Seed Head & Stem
Dried grass, seed heads, and spent bloom stems arranged with a deliberate botanical grace. The patience of things waiting.
Autumn Leaf
Tossed Repeat
Turning Leaves
A loose toss of autumn leaves in rust, dusty rose, and sage — unpretentious and warm, perfect as a blender or feature print.

In the Wild
