On the launch of Sapphire Lawn Vol 1, Creative Director of Sapphire Khadijah Shah said “Our first edition of Sapphire Lawn is a journey of self-discovery for the free spirited Sapphire woman. The versatile and multi-faceted prints draw upon influences from across time and geographical borders resulting in a vibrant color palette and indigenous, novelty prints and patterns. With this collection I invite all women to discover themselves in our vintage French florals, bold block prints, exotic orientals and whimsical spring blooms. For each print my team and I drew on our shared passion for colour and pattern and experimented with new techniques of bringing them to life on sapphire’s luxurious premium quality fabric. Wear our labor of love with panache and hope to see all you beautiful women looking gorgeous in Sapphire this summer.”
