On such a rainy day we were worried our AW12 Press Day would be a bit of a washout. Would anybody brave the wind, rain and hail!?
Well brave it they did. We had a fabulous turn out of bloggers, stylists and editors which kept the Oliver Sweeney team busy from 8.30am to 6.30pm!
The AW12 collection is inspired by the fine wines we enjoy with our Italian colleagues from our family run factory in the Marche region. This means rich colours and deeper shades with a few eccentric designs thrown in too – perhaps after one too many glasses!!!

One style that caught the eye of many yesterday was Santo Gold – our little acknowledgement to that rather big sporting event this Summer! Our collaboration with designer Matthew Miller definitely attracted attention with the different designs and prints and we had great feedback on the Santo and Salento styles with their two-tone rub off leathers.
Our Tattooist-in-Residence was also instore tattooing designs on triangle wallets to make them truly unique for our guests.
All in all a fantastic day showcasing what we do best and a chance to catch up with friends of the brand.

Here are some photos from the day
