The genius that is Nauticoco ...

So as mentioned in my last post I wanted to share with you a new discovery called Nauticoco. I first came across this wonderful brand in Grazia magazine where they were featured on the news pages and was so intrigued I just had to find out more. They produce the most adorable 100% silk peter pan style add on collars. They come in a beautiful array of colours and styles which can be worn with anything from a t-shirt to a dress. Simply genius!

The styles are divided up into collections which makes it so easy to shop and to choose which colour and style is best for you. You can choose from....


the Nautical collection for all you stripe lovers out there...


the Bright Sparks for those of you who are feeling bold and love to colour block...


or finally the Ballet Beautiful collection for those of you who like the more classic, pretty side of things.

Below are my favourite styles from each of the collections.


Newton Collar in Navy £34.99 (Nautical)


Hepburn collar in white £59.99 (Ballet Beautiful)As featured in my previous post.


Watson collar in red £44.99(Bright Sparks)

I just think these collars are such a good idea and could be incorpated into all sorts of different outfits. I know the price points are quite high but they are 100% silk and I think that because they are such a classic accessory, you would definitely be able to wear it season after season and get your pounds per wear!

I caught up with the lovely Alison from Nauticoco to find out a bit more about the brand and whats in store for the future....

1) Describe the brand in 3 words?

Feminine, Directional, Cute


2) Who is the 'Nauticoco' girl?

If we had to choose a muse, it would be the beautiful stylist Caroline Sieber, she is the epitome of modern day chic with a look that is reminiscent of flawless French songstress Charlotte Gainsburg, we would love her to style the Nauticoco collars into one of her looks.3) What/who inspires Nauticoco?

3) What/who inspires Nauticoco?

Nauticoco has taken inspiration from different era's in fashion, the 1940s with its fitted tailored dresses and pussy bow blouses, delicate tops and cropped cardigans, topped with fur detailing and pearls and the iconic style of Audrey Hepburn which inspired out best selling 'Hepburn Collar'. We also looked to the 1960s with its beautiful tunic style dresses, cocoon coats, peter pan collars, twin-sets and a-line mini's, this era that included style icons such as Mary Quant, Twiggy and Mia Farrow, inspired our range of brightly coloured Portman Collars and two-tone Bowsorth and Newton collars.
