Ondine Ash Summer Edit

Our summer edit brings together the best picks from Le Bon Shoppe, together with pieces from our independent slow-fashion creatives.

Easy, breezy pieces made from quality, natural fabrics, to last you years and years. Iconic well-cut t-shirts and shorts that will work at the beach or just as well as a laid-back work outfit. Relaxed fits, colours and layers to take you into chilly evenings. The sturdiest tote bags to fit all the summer essentials into with ease. Comfy organic cotton underwear that you'll be happy to sunbathe in too.

Our summer edit brings together the best of Le Bon Shoppe with pieces from independent slow-fashion makers: simple cotton tees and shorts, soft organic cotton basics from Pico, handwoven willow baskets, Cornish-made bags, and sustainable sunglasses. It’s a short list of things that work together, are made to be worn for years, and suit slow, unfussy summers. Gift cards are available to spend online or in our Falmouth shop.

A good summer wardrobe is mostly a handful of pieces you reach for every day. This collection is our edit of those: well-made, in plain natural colours that mix easily, from makers who care about how things are made and how long they last.

Tees and shorts: Le Bon Shoppe’s Foundation tee in black or mushroom and the Little Boy tee in rose tea are simple everyday tops that go with almost everything. The City shorts in natural ecru are a cotton summer staple that works in town and at the beach.

Underneath: Pico’s organic cotton vests in charcoal and ecru and crop tops in ecru and charcoal are soft, breathable layers for warm days, and make a good gift for someone who appreciates quality basics.

Bags and baskets: Susan Early’s handwoven willow cross-body basket and willow basket backpack are one-off British craft pieces that make the most of a summer outfit. Maison Bengal’s Hogla market basket is a practical shopping basket for the farmers’ market or the beach. Francli Craftwear’s tote bag and Ditty backpack are made in Cornwall, with lanyards to match.

Finishing touches: Otaaki’s Mogao sunglasses and Oceanies’ sunglasses in matte pink are sustainable shades for summer days. Le Bon Shoppe’s socks in a range of soft colours, such as clay, vintage pink, moss green and meadow green, are easy gifts for a summer birthday or a friend with cold feet.

Le Bon Shoppe for socks, tees and shorts, Darn cotton scraves, Francli bags, Kaely Russell quilted vests and Pico organic cotton basics.

We've got you covered this summer at Ondine Ash. Ethically made, thoughtfully chosen, and very Cornwall.
