Competition | Win a Colourful Shopping Spree at Gudrun Sjödén

Iona Bower November 16, 2022

Two lucky readers have the chance to win a £200 Gudrun Sjödén voucher to update both their wardrobe and their home

This season, immerse yourself in Gudrun Sjödén’s latest collection – a gorgeous love letter to the brand´s heritage of Nordic folklore and textile arts. A rich range bursting with pattern joy, swirling botanical motifs and bold stripes, all in a palette of frosty white, tomato red, aubergine and golden citrus, be creative with winter layering and play with combining warming, tactile materials, contrasting block colours and patterns. If all this inspires you, enter our competition to win one of two vouchers – each worth £200 – to spend online or in store.

FRUITFUL FASHION
Included in the collection is the cosy Apelsin sweater with its lustrous citrus print, which is sure to inject some vitamin C into your wardrobe, while the Orsa dress makes the ideal Christmas outfit and comes in a luxurious velour, printed with a folky rose pattern. Gudrun Sjödén’s jewel-coloured treats aren’t just limited to your wardrobe, either; adorn your home with beautiful handmade pieces that have a story to tell. Frame your festive gatherings with invigorating homeware printed with winter blossoms and citrus fruits in warming colour combinations. While tea towels, tablecloths ceramic mugs and hand-painted baubles, all with striking motifs, make for lovely Christmas gifts, either to yourself or for a loved one.

Competition | Win a £200 shopping spree at Gudrun Sjödén

Iona Bower February 18, 2021

Beautiful, thoughtfully produced pieces to bring colour to your wardrobe

With the new season comes new hope and energy – and that’s precisely what Gudrun Sjödén has captured in her Spring 2021 collection. Described as a love letter to nature, it features the rich palette that Gudrun encounters on her outings into the Swedish countryside, including jewel-like blues and greens complemented by spicy reds and yellows, all with her striking patterns and embroidered details, themselves inspired by traditional folk art.

As well as pouring her heart into each collection, creating clothes that will be cherished by several generations for many years to come, Gudrun is mindful to produce pieces that are kind to the planet, too. The company works hard to minimise its carbon footprint in all areas from design to production and freight and it supports its manufacturers to help them become as eco-friendly as possible – such as helping to create an organically certified production line and establishing water recycling systems. In fact, this season’s collection features digital printing, which uses a minimum of water, while still producing beautifully vivid colours. For more information, visit gudrunsjoden.com

We have two prizes of £200 to spend at the online store…

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
