This summer, our collection was inspired by a visual journey through photographs from the seventies, when glamour felt more relaxed, more effortless. The Port jacket is a pure embodiment of this summer mood.

"I have always considered Connolly more of a tortoise than a hare; developing and establishing a brand and a strong network of skilled craftsmen and artisans takes considerable time.
So when I saw these beautiful tortoise bags in Florence, made by a family of skilled artisans in vegetable-tanned leather, each handcrafted by a single maker, I had to bring them to Connolly."

As London Craft Week dawns, we welcome the chance to celebrate craftsmanship. Indeed, the very essence of Connolly is informed by a love of and deep appreciation for craft, and this year we are lucky enough to have the most beautiful handmade Cosmos flowers by Alexandra Foulkes in store.
Some of Alexandra’s earliest and happiest memories are of sewing with her maternal and paternal grandmothers, both keen amateur seamstresses and crafters. Although trained as both a fashion designer and fashion journalist, the making of things has always been her abiding passion.
Alexandra's handmade Cosmos flowers are now available for purchase in our Clifford Street store.
London Craft Week runs from 11th-17th May 2026.
Meticulously handcrafted by Alexandra Foulkes, these beautiful handmade Cosmos Flowers have been made for us after Connolly Creative Director Isabel Ettedgui was gifted one of these wonderful flowers at Christmas.
"There is a transformative magic about the process of making that transmutes 2-D materials into a 3-D object”. As she says of her of her latest endeavour “I’m astonished that blank pieces of paper can be fashioned to look, at a glance, like real flowers”. Alexandra Foulkes, creator
Now available in store at Connolly, 4 Clifford Street 🌸.
In further celebration of our Spring Curation's floral theme are these beautiful handmade Cosmos Flowers by Alexandra Foulkes.
"The Cosmos flowers which I love because they are almost a ‘wild’ flower. Each single flower takes about 2 hrs - I’ve learnt to my cost that you shouldn’t rush the ‘sticking’ time between each stage! The magic ingredient is really the crepe paper which has been made in Italy since the 1930’s.."
These wonderful flowers have been made for us, now available in store at Connolly, 4 Clifford Street 🌼
In celebration of the Flower Moon, Connolly has curated a show in the gallery upstairs at Clifford Street with the artist Oisin Byrne.

Now on show at Connolly, 4 Clifford Street.
The perfect shirt demands simplicity, and clear attention to detail. Super fine and lightweight, the volume and shaped hem of the Marella Shirt create a modern silhouette, making the best of the fine weave.
@claudia_ferrier wears the Marella Shirt with our Moire Mariner Trousers, a classic Connolly trouser, now in a slightly longer length, still with the perfect amount of kick.

@claudia_ferrier wears the Moire Car Coat.
Every summer, we have been asked for a lightweight coat, a style that works as well for the evening as it does over your favourite pair of jeans.
The print has been developed in-house, a hand-painted watercolour artwork emulating the pattern of a classical moiré design, printed on sateen for a rich depth and lustre. The length is “just so”, with a neat raglan sleeve, and a concealed front closure with Connolly branded dark horn buttons.
