Now that there are just a few weeks left to go before Christmas, ’tis officially time to start getting in the festive mood. We’re talking stocking up on mince pies, decking the halls, cosy candlelit nights in, fireside pub lunches, long country walks… And if you wish to do so in style, we’d recommend dressing the part in the fabulous new Shrimps X Reformation collection, too.
Hot on the heels of its supremely chic jewellery collaboration with Clare Waight Keller, the sustainable LA fashion brand has turned to yet another home-grown designer to create its latest limited-edition line. Hannah Weiland is the brains behind the quintessentially British brand Shrimps, best known for her quirky, playful, ultra-feminine aesthetic – and thus the perfect choice to create a fun-filled, festive collection for the season.

‘The act and joy of playing games was the inspiration for the collection,’ Weiland tells ELLE UK. ‘On our moodboard were sweet puppies doing tricks, vintage playing cards and beautiful embroidery motifs.’ The result is a capsule of irresistible, responsibly-crafted novelty knits in shades of navy, red and cream, and with the distinctive Shrimps stamp of ribbons, lace, frills and scalloped details.

Weiland’s favourite piece from the collection? ‘The deep red pointelle headscarf,’ she says. ‘The scalloped edge and the comfort of the soft regenerative wool around your neck is so nice. I also love how versatile the piece is, you can wear it so many ways, as a wool neckerchief, a bow round your handbag, a bandana…’
Our top pick, meanwhile, has to be the teeny tiny dog jumper – sweet enough to melt even the frostiest of grinch hearts, made from regenerative wool, and with a matching human-size version to boot. We certainly know what we want for Christmas…
