Pink and purple have arrived 💜💗

Original by design, this new drop blends monochrome prints with bold colours to create a wardrobe that feels effortlessly street style ready and endlessly wearable.

It’s all about modern layering, where oversized knits, elevated ponte basics, statement stripe tees and easy viscose jerseys come together in a fluid mix of textures, trims and graphic prints.

Look out for the Stripe Barrel Jean and the Shower Resistant Jacket - just a glimpse of the pieces defining this wear-anywhere collection.

One dress. So many directions.

Wear it solo and let the print do the talking - easy, airy, full of movement. Add a teal utility jacket for a tonal moment that feels considered but effortless. Or layer with warm tan and a matching bag for that rich, textural contrast we love.

It’s the kind of midi that shifts with your mood. Boots for everyday polish, a jacket for structure, bare arms when you want it relaxed.

How would you style yours - bold and tonal, or warm and layered? ✨

Look closer. 👀

At first glance, it’s colour. Texture. A beautiful mix of tones.

But the longer you linger, the more you notice - intricate details, layered motifs, unexpected contrasts woven through every panel. Prints within prints. Stories within stories.

These are the kind of pieces that reveal themselves slowly. Designed in-house, made to feel uniquely TS, and created for those who love something a little different.

Because the best prints aren’t loud for the sake of it - they’re thoughtful. Expressive. Full of personality.

Denim that really is made for everyone. 🤍

We’re all about creating denim that actually fits real bodies. Not stiff. Not restrictive. Just good, comfortable, confidence-boosting denim that can move, and hold its shape.

We’ve created a range of fits, cuts and styles so you can find the pair that feels like YOU. The one you build outfits around. The one you reach for on repeat.

Because great denim isn’t about trends or rules.
It’s about feeling good, standing tall, and wearing it your way. 💙
