An Upcoming Danish Gem…

[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Our love affair with all things Nordic continues this month with upcoming Danish label, Lollys Laundry. The brain child of Kamilla Byriel, a renowned Danish designer, Kamilla set out to create a a collection which mixes her personal love of strong basic materials expressed in a raw simplicity – think beautiful prints, ruffles, embroidery, leather with a Nordic twist and you get an understated luxury with budget friendly prices.

“Take a designer, a handful of nostalgia, a touch of raw detail, mix them with exquisite piece goods and then release Lollys Laundry.” Vogue, UK

Our adventure with this cool Danish label started in summer 2010 when we were in Copenhagen for fashion week and spotted a stand full of vibrant prints, fun designs (a little á la Isabel Marant) and a blond charismatic woman passionately talking to a group of buyers. We were consumed by the energy and passion coming from that stand!

The blond woman was of course Kamilla. She was amazing and we fell  in love with the whole package – clothes, vision, passion and Kamilla herself. Here we are six years later still stocking this lovely brand. It has been a joy watching it grow and get stronger and bigger with every season.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3881″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Kamilla Byriel

The joggers / sweatpants have become characteristic pieces for the brand. Mix them with feminine blouses and trainers to create an understated look which we all crave –  stylish but practical. In the evening transform the same outfit by swapping sneakers for heels, smart flats or boots .[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3893″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Simone Star Blouse, £89 / Mona Joggers in Army, £79 / IvyLeeCopenhagen Caroline Shoes, £179 / Liebeskind Bag, £35 [/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3891″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Dory Blouse, £79 / Mona Multi Joggers with Gold Panel, £89 / Rose Rankin Star Trainers, £169 [/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]This season’s joggers feature details such as side panels, pocket details, zips, fun prints and fabrics not normally associated with joggers – this year’s jacquard pants sold out in 2 days.

Summer’s Coolest Sandals

[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Sandals:  Well the weather is still unpredictable to say the least but the humidity has arrived – which  means no matter the weather forecast – we need sandals at the ready!

Top picks this season at Quattro Rish are the sleek, slip-on style that you’ll find in nearly every fashion blogger’s wardrobe – the slide sandal, but also we adore the low block heel.  Both are from our favourite footwear brand, Sol Sana.

We’re sharing the styles you’ll spot every fashion blogger wearing at one point or another this season.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Slide Sandals[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3739″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]The Forster studded sandals are an extremely flattering and incredibly comfortable sleek alternative to your beloved Birkenstocks.  We had this style last year without studs and simply lived in them at Quattro Rish.  Uber-cool and easy to style – they go with trousers, shorts and dresses – daytime through to evening.  They add a dash of edge to a pretty outfit or a twist if you are a minimalist type.[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]The espadrilles / Lawrence sandals are such fun.  Styled with a beach dress from Essentiel and a Becksondergard hat, they are the perfect addition for your summer holiday, or as an everyday option to flip flops.[/text_output][image src=”3740″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3741″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Sol Sana Lawrence Sandals, £89 / Essentiel Antwerp Beach Dress, £119 / Becksondergaard Hat, £29[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3742″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Sol Sana Foster Slide, £80 / American Vintage Dress, £99 / Becksondergaard Bag, £45 / Becksondergaard Embroidery Linen Scarf, £99[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Swish Swish[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3743″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3744″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Fringing is massive this season, especially on your feet.  We adore the Jac flat sliders with fringing in a beautiful chestnut suede – they are fun but at the same time simple – perfect for those who want to inject a little on-trend style into your wardrobe.

For a heel version of the tasseled sandal we have the amazing Mavin in chestnut suede.  They are fun and super flattering – if you are a heel girl you’re going to love them.  Our lovely customer – the beautiful actress Sarah Parish – loves them! She tends to wear them with jeans & tees.

Kat (who you might remember from a blog post before / doesmybumlook40?) fell in love with them in a big way: –

“Just had to mention the shoes which are the perfect heel height for both every day wearing and dancing into the small hours.  Super comfortable and if you’re not that much in love with your feet (if you looked at mine you would think I was one gene away from Hobbit), the fringing on these does wonders to hide what you don’t really want to be looking at.  And bang on trend too.  Perfection in sandals all round – the Sol Sana Tobi heel.”  Kat [/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3749″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]Another low block heel this season from Sol Sana is the Porter heel in toupe – very Isabel Marant – but for a fraction of price.  The studs add an edge to the style of the sandal and will never date.  They have been popular, so if you are size 7 or 8 we still have a 2 pairs left![/text_output][text_output]Sol Sana Tobi Heel in Black Suede, £140 / shown with Custommade Tee, £45 / Twist & Tango Hat, £45 / Sol Sana Porter Heel in Studded Taupe Suede, £130[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Wedges[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]We could not resist these gorgeous, colourful wedges by EssentielAntwerp.  They are high but because of the platform they feel very comfortable.

Does My Bum Look 40 in Reigate…

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]And how amazing are the clothes?  Since I first visited a couple of weeks ago, I have done nothing but wax lyrical to my local friends about this amazing boutique.  Alas, we have nothing similar in Sevenoaks (we so so should!) although maybe I should be grateful as I would be in there every week “just seeing what’s in there”.

Because there really is something for any occasion.  At the moment especially when the weather is just – well, not cricket, is it?  It’s not exactly Spring…it’s cold…it’s really really quite chilly.

Therefore full on Summer gear just isn’t the ticket yet.  We need those pieces in our wardrobe that we can add in to make them just that little bit more interesting.  As we’re all pretty much O.V.E.R our Winter clothes that we’ve been wearing since what seems like forever.  And retrieve your Spring clothes from last year (when it was considerably warmer I’d like to point out) and they never seem quite as appealing as they were.

It’s the ideal time therefore to treat yourself to something new.  Something that can make all the difference to your wardrobe.  Or even a whole outfit that you can mix and match with things you already have, that is perfect for this not so mild weather but will still work when the sun comes out.

I managed to find so many outfits from the new stock at Quattro Rish (in fact, had to restrain myself otherwise we would have been there all week).  Starting with all black…

[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3612″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3609″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]This is the most amazing Essentiel Antwerp Linkylince top.  Would work as well for holiday, as for work, as for a night out.  Beautiful loose shape with exquisite detailing down the sides.  And teamed with the most flattering high waisted skinnies I have every tried on – the MiH Body Con skinnies.  No these aren’t cheap but cost per wear, these will owe you nothing in a very short space of time.  The most fabulous bum hugging, leg lengthening, muffing hiding trousers of wonder.   And what’s not to love about a throw on cardigan – the American Vintage Vacville cardi.  Perfect for travelling, for layering in the Winter or for keeping your shoulders warm on those cool Summer evenings.  For me – my lazy side is most keen to have it wrapped round me on the sofa.

[/text_output][text_output]

[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3622″][text_output]

Must mention the shoes which are the perfect heel height for both every day wearing and dancing into the small hours.  Super comfortable and if you’re not that much in love with your feet (if you looked at mine you would think I was one gene away from Hobbit), the fringing on these does wonders to hide what you don’t really want to be looking at.  And bang on trend too.  Perfection in sandals all round – the Sol Sana Tobi heel.

[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3611″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3614″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]

Next, it would have been rude not to try the navy jumpsuit – American Vintage Derinaroad jumpsuit.  Which happens to be the one colour jumpsuit I don’t in fact own… This is ideal for both now and into Summer evenings.  Layer with a thin knit polo neck underneath to take you into Autumn.  Looks great with either a biker jacket or blazer thrown over for play or even work.

[/text_output][image src=”3624″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3619″][text_output]If your feet aren’t sandal ready (mine really need some industrial sander action before I get them out properly notwithstanding the general Hobbit issue), then get more wear out of your Winter boots.  Or treat yourself to new ones… these Ivylee Dee Boots with gold studs are absolutely sublime.

American Vintage Derinaroad Jumpsuit, £110 | IvyLee Dee Boots – Gold Studs, £190[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3616″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]Moving onto the pair of trousers which I simply couldn’t resist.  It’s not often you try on a pair of trews that are perfect for so many different occasions.  The colour, the cut, the fit, the detailing.  I completely fell in love with (and bought!) the Current/Elliott Industrial Trouser.

 

[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]

These are the one pair of trousers that will see you through all Spring/Summer and well into the Autumn as well.  They are the perfect modern twist on a classic cargo.  Can be rolled up for a more traditional look or worn long, with the slight, very current, mini kick flare to them.  With flats, with sneakers, with ankle boots, with sandals of the heeled, flat or wedge variety – they really are the pants of the season.

For a more casual look, the most perfect tee to add to your wardrobe to work as a layer or as a top in its own right, is the American Vintage Sonoma Top. – a great linen style classic white long sleeved tee.  Every wardrobe should have one (in white, in navy, in black, in every colour actually).  And for dress down chic, there can be nothing more luxurious than a chunky knit in a fresh Spring shade – Essential Lunny Long Sleeve Sweater.  Made all the more special if you look closely and see the gold thread detail running through.

[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3617″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3613″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image src=”3621″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]

The perfect sliders finish off the outfit but I would also absolutely wear this outfit with the Ivylee Dee Boots (I may have to make a phone call to order these seeing as I’m not sure how I’m going to live without them.. they look amazing with these trousers).  These sandals though, into the Summer will be your go to staple.  Buy them now before they sell out.  They’re ideal in that they’re not flat flat, they’re not super smart but they’re not super casual.  They really would go with every outfit.  The official Goldilocks of sandals.  And most importantly, boy are they comfy – Ivylee Iris Slider.

Hopefully there are some ideas there for how to dress in this tricky transitional phase (aka the British Spring.. and Summer for that matter) until we can legitimately crack out the dresses and sandals without fear of getting frost bite.  My advice would be to invest in a couple of key pieces, as above, to make you fall back in love with some of your old favourites that may have lost their shine.  Or just go the whole hog and buy an outfit that you can reinvent in many different ways.  Personally I’m with the latter suggestion.  If the sun isn’t shining, this is guaranteed to brighten your days instead!

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]Quattro Rish

We have long since appreciated the personal style of blogger Frances, from School Run Style, and have loved Frances visiting our store over the years and watching how she styles one piece with another. Excited by the prospect of sharing style tips, it made perfect sense to team up with Frances and share her outfit choices from our collections this season.

We hope you enjoy !

 

Frances, School Run Style

I am always inspired when I step into Quattro Rish, the boutique has the perfect mix of cool Scandi brands, classic French tailoring and edgy British labels sitting alongside a beautifully edited denim selection, all under one roof. I have shopped in Quattro Rish for years and love discovering the new labels owner Ivy tracks down with her impeccable style and chic eye for all things beautifully crafted, fashionable and cool. I am guaranteed to find clothes that create a twist on a classic look or add an indulgent layer to my style each season. This AW15 I am obsessed with the American Vintage oversized soft pink cardigan, Twist and Tango PVC leggings and bronze boots, along with the beautiful chain strap bags and beautiful jewellery. A haven for all things fashion forward but elegant, sophisticated but cool, everything I love about the UK and European shopping blended beautifully together…

Add a pair of beautifully tailored trousers, I adore the fabric and cut alongside the spot details stripe turn up and some heels to make the masculine trend workable and chic.

The PVC skirt is cut impeccably to create an elegant silhouette, add a silk blouse and heels for an evening out, for daytime dress down with a sweater and trainers, this skirt brings sophisticated sass to your look in an instant.

Add a beautiful pink scarf and bring in those ‘to-die-for’ PVC trousers slip on a pair super flattering, edgy and comfortable wedges and this for me is winter outfit perfection.

Mixed with the green and blue stripes of a silk blouse and toughened up with distressed skinny jeans, this outfit makes a chic statement. Comfort is always key for me and this outfit is elegant, edgy and totally wearable at the same time.

This look focuses on mixing this season’s muted colours, plum, pink and greys and adding a splash of metallics to create a luxe edge. The PVC trousers are beautiful, a fabulous fit, incredibly flattering, practical and comfortable to wear, I have bought a pair and know I will be wearing them non-stop. I will be cocooning myself in the beautiful pink cardigan on cold winter days, luxurious and soft this is the perfect layering piece it will look just as good over your Little Black Dress as it will under a parka for a country walk.

Say it with Stripes !

A perennial print trend, stripes are big news again for spring/summer 2015. From skirts to shirts, trousers and blouses, stripe is one of the biggest trends of the season and are coming from all directions at different widths and in refreshingly vibrant hues. Take a closer look at fashion bloggers and you will see stripes at the forefront of current street look trends.

Have some fun with colour and take standard stripes to a playful level. Whether subtle or bold, high contrast or red, it’s all about going linear. For spring, there’s only one rule of thumb — more is more. So, mix, match and pile it on because this season you can’t go wrong !

Spring Awakening

With the days now getting noticeably longer, we can’t help but start to dream about our spring wardrobes.  Well, to be honest we have been fawning over our new arrivals at Quattro Rish headquarters for a couple of weeks now!

One item this spring that is perfect for the transition from winter to spring is the spring jacket.  Currently being blogged about everywhere as a favourite spring trend on the streets of Europe, this season’s spring jacket can be dressed up (worn smart) or equally thrown over jeans and teamed with sneakers, slip-on pumps or ankle boots.  A wardrobe staple, the spring jacket will transform your wardrobe with minimal effort, just thrown on and the let the jacket do the talking.

Spring Denim Styles

It’s no secret that the 70s trend is influencing almost every SS15 collection out there, from flares and pale washed denim to pastel lace-up ankle boots, this spring is going to be one big 70s time warp !

As with each season we buy with our customer in mind, we source a collection of denim that flatters each individual body shape but that screams cool and wearable with a nod to the current season’s trends.

New to Quattro Rish this season is the Tomboy jean from MiH, if you live in your Phoebe jeans then you will L O V E the Tomboy – with a hint at the loose ease of a boyfriend but with a slimmer fit, the Tomboy is the perfect go-to casual jean this season.  We welcome the return of denim classics such as the Stiletto in a pale wash with orange stitching; or the Paris from MiH in both blue and white.  Why not channel 2015’s answer to the loose leg boyfriend and try the flare !  We are very excited about the imminent arrival of the Skinny Marrakesh jean from MiH, this jean fits like a skinny at the top before flaring into a statement kick – these jeans will be as adorable with flat shoes as they are with heels.

Our best selling style so far this season is the Straight cut-off jean in white from Current Elliott.  Wear them loose for a more casual style or go down a size for a more fitted look.

The 70s vibe continues with our amazing footwear collection now available in store from Seven Boot Lane //

Smart Tips for Instant Outfits this Winter…

[vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][x_video_embed type=”16:9″][/x_video_embed][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]The autumn/winter season can be a tricky one for our wardrobe unless prepared – whilst autumn only began a few weeks ago there is already the risk of falling into a style rut and wearing the same style outfit day in day out.  Instead we want you to make the most out of your wardrobe and embrace the season with all its prints, colour, textures and shapes by following these smart style tips :-

1.  Invest in a statement coat; our new favourite at Quattro Rish is the black long line Tina coat from Twist & Tango.  This is an absolute staple for the winter wardrobe.

2.  Make sure you have a pair of sneakers and ankle boots that can be paired with your favourite jeans, trousers, dresses and skirts; the Sol Sana Luca boot is feminine and on-trend for this season.

3.  Layering plays a large part in our winter wardrobe.  We adore the cat t.shirt by Des Petits Hauts teamed with the chunky knit cardigan from American Vintage.  Style with colour this season and add some winter chic with the sapphire long sleeved top from American Vintage and Becksondergaard wool scarf draped loosely around the shoulders // scarves are big this season.

4.  We take our inspiration from the streets and are obsessed with the way denim is worn by the many style bloggers across Europe.  Boyfriend jeans are everywhere again this season so wear rolled with ankle boots and unrolled with sneakers, don’t worry though as the skinny jean is still a firm favourite!  We adore the cut and finish of the Regina jean from Dr Denim // just add your statement coat for some street style envy.

5.  It’s a good idea to add variety when it comes to knitwear; a chunky cardigan, statement sweater and  oversized knit with colour will cover our favourite knitwear trends.  We adore SET’s statement sweater (shown in the feature photo) – just the right amount of attitude…

6.  And finally glamour, everyone needs a pinch of glamour and this season we are going noir.  The black jumpsuit from American Vintage is elegant and flattering and can be carried from day to evening simply with a change of footwear.  The zip skirt from SET can be worn during the day with sneakers and a statement sweater or with a turtleneck and ankle boots // casual styling made easy!

Our shortlist for this season’s sumptuous coat…

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]

If you buy one item this season, buy an amazing coat. Winter coats are a staple in any winter wardrobe and this season we have been overwhelmed with choice.  No matter what your shape or size there is a sumptuous coat for everyone this winter.

[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image type=”none” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3114″ alt=”American Vintage Grayson Nugget” link=”true” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/american-vintage-grayson-nugget-coat/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]

Dramatically oversized silhouettes are huge this autumn, sharp tailoring and cropped sleeves balance the voluminous proportions of the oversized coat keeping the look chic.  Cocoon shapes are always a great choice for a super-cool, off-duty style, like this American Vintage Grayson Nugget coat.  Just remember to keep the rest of your outfit low-key with jeans and flats or ankle boots and let the coat do the talking.

The boyfriend coat this season balances the masculine and feminine with clean lines and beautiful colours.  A perfect example is the Liese coat from Custommade.

[/text_output][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3110″ alt=”Custommade” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/custommade-liese-coat/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]Belting up with a longer length coat is a classic, super-chic style statement for this season.  Black is the easiest colour to integrate into your new-season wardrobe and we are loving this the Tina coat from Twist & Tango.  Add a pop of colour by draping a scarf around your neck and tucking it under the belt.[/text_output][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3117″ href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/twist-tango-tina-coat/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3118″ href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/twist-tango-tina-coat/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3116″ alt=”Baum und Pferdgarten” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/baum-und-pferdgarten-basia-jacket/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]

Going for a short coat is a great option for dressier occasions and we love this bomber Basia jacket from Baum und Pferdgarten.

This autumn / winter the faux fur ‘fun’ coat is the epitome of super-cool with streets swirling with fur (faux).  Long gone are the days where real fur and fake were miles apart – versions of the faux fur are now so well done that it is difficult to tell them apart.  A favourite at Quattro Rish is this faux fur black coat from SET.

[/text_output][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3123″ alt=”SET” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/set-faux-fur-black-coat/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3125″ alt=”SET” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/set-faux-fur-black-coat/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3124″ alt=”Des Petits Hauts” href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/des-petits-hauts-afifi-knit-sweater/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3121″ href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/sol-sana-luca-boot/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][image type=”none” float=”none” link=”true” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”3122″ href=”http://quattrorish.com/product/twist-tango-lucy-blazer/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]Whether you want a casual style or super-chic, statement coat, we have chosen our favourite pieces from the new collections for this style edit // all available at Quattro Rish online and in store.  Wear your coat this season with comfortable flats // ankle boots and for a more glamourous look change into heels.

We have added some new season knitwear, tartan and ankle boots which look fabulous styled under your winter coat.
