Apolina's much-loved Bette blouse returns for AW24. Bette has a swingy smock silhouette with pinch smocking and pleats at the chest. Crafted in soft pink cotton with folk-inspired fawn and chocolate toned embroidery, the blouse has a button-through front. It has a sweet contrasting sailor collar in almond, which is decorated front and back, and trimmed with hand crochet stitch. We love Bette paired with the Molly trousers or leggings.

Apolina is a modern embroidered children's clothing brand: exciting yet nostalgic, with longevity and a sense of craft. Designed in England, but inspired by travel, traditional handicrafts and the natural world, the collection's beautiful dresses and blouses have relaxed silhouettes so children are comfortable and can play freely, as well as ensuring an increased wear-time. Apolina hope each piece will be passed down to younger siblings, then kept by mothers as a reminder of cherished childhood memories, and passed to grandchildren as a future heirloom.
The AW24 collection was inspired by a trip to California and a fascination with 1950s Westerns. Apolina's romanticised vision of prairie homestead life features an earthy, autumnal palette, highlighted by vintage blue. Patchwork and quilting reference the homemade cottage crafts of simpler times, while folk and vintage cinema-inspired floral prints meet a Welsh blanket-influenced jacquard, weaving together a sense of nostalgic comfort.
