Says Savoy “I am excited about our fall lineup. The silhouette we are excited about is volume driven with innovative draping and cuts. I have some cool menswear inspired pieces coming like the vest jacket. This is a key look for fall. Our focus is as always on lots of natural materials – cottons and wools will be strong players, as will silks.”

About Much & Little
Much&Little opened its doors in October 2011. It grew from a desire to create a personal shopping experience that offers timeless, beautiful, well-made goods for everyday use. Each item has been hand picked not just for aesthetics and function, but also for the story behind it that creates lasting value. Where was it made, how and by whom? As much as possible, we seek out products that have been created with love and care, with attention to detail and craft.
Though the shop is modest in size, the selection is wide and encompasses everything from housewares, to personal accessories, to women’s clothing. Our goods come from all over – including local, independent designers, heritage brands and fair trade artisans.
For you, we hope this translates into something of value. Where items are of heirloom quality and timeless appeal. Where a seemingly humble object will be something you love to pick up and use each day, and the patina of use just makes it better.
