Herringbone, The Weave Avatar

5 Notes

The first of our Autumn/Winter 12 collection takes inspiration from one of the most charismatic cities in the world: San Francisco. With its Golden Gate Bridge and architectural style embedded in the landscape, the beauty of a San Francisco sunset is unrivalled.

Featuring coral, deep blue and natural palettes, our AW12 collection begins with warm hues and classic lines. The fabrics in this wardrobe are designed to be layered; ideal for cities by the bay where climate is often subject to change.

Earthy tones rich in chocolates, camel and stone create an understated look that easily compliments brighter pieces, such as our linen check scarf, striking silk ties and ladies’ coral cashmere coat (all featured above).

Take a trip to San Fran and explore our new collection in store and online now.

I'm about to start a career in the corporate world and would love some tips from your stylish team on ideas to wear to work. Thanks.

Asked by Anonymous

We would be delighted! 

Gentlemen:

To start your corporate wardrobe, begin by collecting the essentials: a crisp white shirt & charcoal suit (our Finlay is a perennial favourite).

To create different looks day to day, we recommend accessorising with pieces that compliment & add interest to your outfit —for example, silk ties, warm knits, cufflinks & chic pocket squares.

Ladies:

Pair a classic shift dress in neutral tones with jackets in a striking colour. That way, you can wear the dress a few times a week & the pop of colour from the jacket will add a point of difference.

Currently in store are our beautiful black wool Anja & beige contrast Colette dresses. These can easily be paired with our winter corals or striking cobalt blue coats. 

— An & Stephanie, Herringbone QVB, Sydney


A black shift dress is a great wardrobe staple that works trans-seasonally. During winter it can be worn with black opaque tights & boots instead of pumps if you desire.

To freshen up your outfit is easy: try different coloured blazers, cardigans worn with a belt over the top, or style your dress with different winter scarves.

This Tuesday is the one day per year the world collectively indulges in a little romance. The one day that “Yes dear” is the correct response to any question posed by your partner. Indeed, the only response.

Spoil the leading lady or man in your life with a little luxury from Herringbone this year.

Gents, we love these transeasonal scarves in a range of colours and designs for your beloved. And judging from the response since their arrival on Wednesday, our ladies love them too!

Luxuriously soft and versatile enough to wear from the office to Opera Bar, these scarves are perfect to pair with our beautiful silk Sacramento Dress, San Fran Skirt or San Fran Coat (all featured above).

Visit us in store this weekend and pick up a gift to remember.

A very Happy Valentine’s Day from the team at Herringbone!

The details …

We have a pretty special team here at Herringbone, and we think it’s only polite that we introduce them!

Over the next few months our staff will share their individual Herringbone style, and provide an insight into the world of sartorial dressing.

Feel free to ask them questions, too.

Sometimes work doesn’t necessitate a french-cuffed shirt, 7-fold tie and sterling silver cufflinks. Sometimes, you can get a little more creative.

Our Winter 12 collection features luxurious item jackets in chocolates, charcoals and navy, perfect for pairing with tailored corduroy trousers and no-fuss knitwear.

A button-cuffed shirt teamed with a warm cashmere knit and chinos keeps the elements at bay without having to forego style.

Coming to stores this week is cashmere knitwear, Egyptian cotton shirting and —for the ladies— new dress styles and silk blouses. Visit us in store or online.

We were very proud to be asked to shoot our parent company, Van Laack’s, Summer 2012 campaign at Darling Point in Sydney last week. Van Laack were impressed with the work our team has been doing on Herringbone’s campaigns and asked us to shoot their summer campaign. The results were amazing – some behind the scenes shots (which also include some of the looks).
