Holiday Essentials: The Penelope Chilvers Summer Edit

When it comes to travel, the most considered wardrobes are made up of pieces that blend style and function, footwear that moves effortlessly between destinations, and accessories that perfectly complement every look.

This curated selection focuses on craftsmanship, longevity, and understated presence – ensuring you arrive prepared, composed, and always appropriately dressed for your surroundings.

A sandal designed for walking, yet refined in its simplicity, becomes the natural companion for days spent wandering cobbled streets, coastal promenades, or open-air markets. 

The Buttercup Leather Sandal, with its lightweight, cushioned sole and timeless design, is the perfect companion for sun-filled holidays. Offering both comfort and understated style, these quietly reliable sandals support your every step, season after season, and remain one of our best-selling styles.

There are days on holiday when you move with intention, through captivating museum halls, along sunlit courtyards, and up winding streets where every doorway invites pause. A well-made espadrille lets you do so in comfort, with the quiet confidence that mirrors the care you've taken in dressing. Lighter than a trainer but full of presence, our Flora Broderie Espadrilles bring a touch of charm, pairing effortlessly with floaty dresses and soft denims.

Evenings on holiday invite a different rhythm slower, softer, more considered. After sun-soaked hours and unhurried afternoons, there's pleasure in dressing with quiet intention. Wedge espadrilles strike the balance: structured enough to elevate a wide-leg trouser, yet relaxed enough for dining alfresco or a slow walk through town.

Whether your plans include open roads, inland escpaes, or even music-led itineraries, a pair of Cowboy Boots bring both purpose and versatility. Designed to complement long skirts or minimal silhouettes, they come into their own in transitional weather, where sandals fall short and sneakers feel misplaced.

Some trips require a bag that does more than hold – it must protect, organise, and retain it's shape. The Wilderness Waxed Cotton Holdall is a sturdy option, excellent for weekend getaways. For an everyday option, the Wilderness Waxed Cotton Canvas Tote is the perfect accompaniment from beach to bookshop without losing form or function. 

Your wardrobe should travel with purpose, never competing with your destination, only complementing it. Discover timeless footwear and accessories, crafted to last a lifetime of adventures.
