Happy birthday to the Gudrun Sjoden Stripy Top
It has been 35 years since Scandinavian design legend Gudrun Sjoden first produced her classic striped top. That first order consisted of an order for just 30 tops in 3 different colour ways, a test to see how well received the garment would be. Since then, the design has become a total classic, with over 300,000 tops being sold around the world. It is an integral part of the Gudrun Sjoden story, whatever the season, and shows how true, good design is able to stand the test of time. As a huge fan of Gudrun Sjoden for quite some time, I was recently asked if I would like to review…

I reviewed some pieces from the Autumn/Winter collection in November (you can read that review here), and was very pleased when Rachel from Varg asked if I would…

Introducing Gudrun Sjoden…
The title is a little bit naughty to be honest, because if you live in Sweden, where Gudrun Sjoden was born, or in much of Europe, where the brand is well established, Gudrun has been a well-known name for many years, opening her first boutique in Stockholm as early as 1976. The label is not so well-known in the UK, but I think this is all set to change. The first UK boutique has opened in London and is just so pretty that you must pay a visit, whilst the latest ranges are sure to appeal to anyone with a love of labels like Boden and White Stuff.
