MARCH NEWSLETTER There are plenty of exciting new things to see at Ricarda this month. To give you a taste, here is an insight to what is in store now... | |||

RUNDHOLZ The new collection from German-based label Rundholz has arrived. The Rundholz aesthetic is truly unique and individual. Rundholz clothing is consistently made from the highest-quality fabrics and is always a comfort to wear. The range at Ricarda encompasses a mixture of tailored and relaxed looks, with the characteristic Rundholz details of finished and unfinished hems and unusual closures, which for this season are large safety-pins. The fabrics in this range include soft virgin wools and various wool-blends to keep you warm this winter.  MAJESTIC French-label Majestic is a brand renowned for luxurious, yet comfortable everyday clothing and Ricarda’s selection for the upcoming season is exactly that. Manufactured in only fine fabrics such as 100% cotton or linen, and cotton and cashmere blends, all pieces cover a spectrum of neutral colours. These luxury basics are available in numerous styles and will be perfect for layering in the colder months. LEE MATHEWS The first delivery of Lee Mathews Autumn/Winter collection has also recently arrived. This season Mathews drew inspiration from vintage clothing for the pretty floral prints. The collection has stayed true to the label’s organic aesthetic with the use of 100% natural fabrics; cotton and silk. The result is a range full of wearable pieces such as printed scarves, silk slips, knitted vests, basic leggings and shirt and tunic dresses. The pieces are extremely soft on the skin and their muted colours will compliment all skin-tones.

The selection of Kj by Kirrily Johnston includes beautifully soft draped cardigans and basic slip dresses. Our mainline pieces include silk/wool blend metallic tanks and the key piece of the collection, the Shadow Rock leather pants. The leather pants will be a staple piece this season and are already gaining much popularity. There are limited sizes in this style so get in early!

The label’s designers Nikolina Ergic and Daniel Romanin create beautiful garments using soft draping techniques and sensual fabrics. Ergic and Romanin both have a strong understanding of womens’ shapes and this translates to their designs. The One Fell Swoop look is extremely flattering and its elegance suits women of any age, so come down and have a look at our new label.  MAILLE Another new addition is up-and-coming knitwear and jersey label Maille (pronounced "my" - French for stitch). The Sydney-based label was founded in 2010 by designer Hellen Kistandonis, who formerly worked for other well-known Australian labels Ksubi and Bassike. Kistandonis specializes in knitwear and utilizes her expertise in garment construction to create interesting clothing using various techniques and textures. Maille’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is now available in-store. On offer is a selection of printed jerseys and beautifully hand-knitted dresses using organic and natural fabrics. Our Maille knitwear is truly special and unique, so it is definitely worth a look!
