Letter from Isabel: Back to School September
As we step into September, and the end of the summer feelings take hold, I wanted to share the exciting things happening this month at Connolly. Firstly, it's the final week to experience Norman Hyams' stunning "Islands" show. This series of works has been such a beautiful addition to our space, and as the paintings prepare to go to their new homes, I encourage anyone who hasn't yet seen them to take this last chance to do so.
With Goodwood Revival upon us, we're gearing up for the launch of Macchina, the ultimate car racing book. Jon Nicholson's photography has brilliantly captured the essence of speed and style, and I believe this book will resonate with anyone who shares our passion for automobiles.
September also begins the unveiling of our new Romantic collection, with the most beautiful clothes and images photographed by Will Waterworth. These pieces have a certain magic to them, and will be arriving in two drops the first to make a seamless transition into Autumn and then a second drop next month for the colder winter months.
At the shop, we're opening the season with a focus on all things navy blue. The store will be filled with our classic favourites like perfect navy cashmere coats, tailored separates, sports jackets and knitwear all centred around sophisticated yet easy-to-wear navy… my answer to easing those post-holiday blues.
Mid-month, we’re hosting our much-anticipated Connolly sample sale, which many of you have been eagerly waiting for, held over three days and by invitation only. It's a unique opportunity to discover exclusive pieces at exceptional prices—an event not to be missed. It's always a pleasure to share these moments with you and look forward to seeing you all very soon.
