Dilli Grey

A lifestyle brand that keeps ethical production at the forefront of the design process, Dilli Grey may be based in the heart of London, but they partner with specialists from over 4000 miles away to create its collections.

Designed by Vickie El-Rayyes, the limited edition clothing and homeware is available directly from the brand’s website, as well as a shop in Barnes and multiple retail partners.

From bright, jewel colours to more muted, laid-back neutrals, especially popular at this time of year are their relaxed, pretty block print dresses.

I have my eye on the Fifi boho and the Florence midi in poppy.

A new block print is designed each season, taking inspiration from traditional Rajasthani prints and updating them with a modern colour palette in collaboration with their Jaipur-based artisan team.

These prints are then used to create 100% organic cotton quilted jackets, gilets and waistcoats, perfect for layering over dresses in the summer.

Also lightweight robes, designed each season in a brand-new, limited edition print.

Some of my favourite items are the waterproof-lined cotton washbags, which also make perfect gifts for friends and the beautiful quilts.
