HAMPTONS

Sea, sun and sand – Henry Cotton chooses a slim fit look, in shades of milky white and royal blue, alternating in the shirts to a wide range of imaginative play in pastel colors.

SO BRITISH

Inspired by the life of the British businessman who divides his time between his offices in the city and his estate, the look is a mix of informal blazers, trench in technical fabric and stretch gabardine pants.

The jacket, declined in shades from lilac to blue and patterns ranging from classic striped micro check, produced exclusively for Henry Cotton’s. The tricot knitting is very light.

With khaki as the main color palette, the color theme is inspired by two stories.

The first, characterized by a spirit “authentic” and the extreme care for detail, is inspired by the seafaring world of taste vaguely vintage, dissolved in the raids from rugby.

With strong reference to the military bomber jackets are proposed together with leather garments in soft nappa which also has very strong military overtures.

The second part of the story is the history of explorers to Africa with the collection suited to a life in a relaxed resort and going on to a photo safari.

AUSTRALIA

Wild and untouched land where nature reigns, it is a journey about exploration and discovery. In this sense, the theme of travel is reflected in the essential clothing, almost of uniforms, made with natural fabrics and proposed in the classic beige and khaki.

AFRICA

Dominated by dark tones, in which the classic safari is reinterpreted in a typical African lodge. Blue, indigo, purple, dark brown, beige and pink clay are available in plain or combined with bluette and plum in the prints.

The jackets are made of cotton, in a short sleeve option and thus become an alternative for t-shirts or just to be worn on top of it.

HAMPTON BAY

A visit to the sophisticated American coast, wearing white which is cheered by orange, cyclamen and strawberry is the order of the day.

The classic polo is divided into original solutions: colorful, united and stripes, embroidery with large numbers, a nod to the world of sport, and enriched white jersey fabric shirt.
