The coastal collection

The UK is awash with images of snow and winter weather. If you find yourself somewhere cold, this collection is designed to make you feel warmer and evoke memories of the summer and seaside, bathed by sunshine.

There is something invigorating about a trip to the coast, whether it’s exotic Oman, beautiful Mauritius, Australia’s majestic Pacific Coast – or even the homegrown seaside resort of Margate. Morocco, Mersea Island in Essex, Brighton and the Maldives also feature.
