The elegant holiday range extends this summer to include sunshine-bright tropical printed tankinis, sophisticated paisley prints and cool monochrome accessories like handbags. The season offerings also comprise of a colourful range of maxi-dresses and sarongs, the popular ones being the abstract print pleated maxi dress and the shoulder twist crossover maxi dress.
