SS14 HAS LAUNCHED

Reflecting on a summer that never quite began, we begin our next story.

The new collection represents the true British summer, we bring you tried and tested pieces from our collections re-imagined in new colours and materials.

Protect yourself from the unruly elements with our Mazu Parka’s. Our classic satin finish nylon parka has a concealed Velcro hood and folds into an easy to pack away bag. This practical raincoat is available in earthy tones including Putty and Bark, with a variety of styles including a shorter jacket and long line reversible parka.

For the transitional season we bring you reversible gilets with faux fur on one side and a pattern on the other. With two styles available in Ikat shimmer and Aztec Stone you can get two styles for the same price!

To keep you comfortable on your adventures this summer we have created an exceptional range of sophisticated and easy to wear outdoor pumps. Different from the mass produced styles our canvas pumps include individual branding to each shoe, a toe suede cap and a durable rubber sole that will last.

There are many more treasures to be found on our website. To see the full collection visit www.rubyanded.co.uk

HOW WE WEAR RUBY+ED: SOPHIE

The days are becoming shorter and we are waking up to darker mornings, our drive to work is often clouded by the thick mist. We took these pictures really early in the morning, so we could give you a sneak peek into the surrounds of our office. Sophie, our Customer Service assistant is wearing the Reversible Aztec Stone gilet and Pewter Shimmer arm warmers. 

"The reversible gilet is my must have piece, because it is reversible there is no labels so you can actually wear both ways for two completely separate looks, so it is well worth the money! I wear a lot of gilets throughout Autumn and Winter, they are more practical and plain as I do a lot of eventing, so it is always nice to mix up my look with a bit of colour and faux fur.The arm warmers are practical and pretty, so what more could you ask for in a glove? " - Sophie

You can get Sophie's look now, the arm warmer collection is proving a popular choice with Christmas approaching. If you are looking to stay warm but still have full movement then we would recommend our arm warmers. 

If you haven't already, take a look at our Christmas Shop!

HOW WE WEAR RUBY+ED: LUCY

Despite the weather getting bitterly cold again, just days ago we were blessed with a beautifully sunny weekend. Not knowing weather to dress for warm or cold weather can always be tricky so a faux fur gilet is the perfect piece to complete your outfit whatever the weather. Our Product Development Assistant Lucy looked fab last Friday when she came into work wearing the Wolf Faux Fur Gilet teamed with a black dress and ankle boots. She told us 

“The gilet is my must have this season, the weather keeps changing so this keeps me nice and cosy whether I am out shopping or working hard in the office. The gilet is an investment piece for me, I will wear it again and again. I can dress it up or down, depending on the occasion."

Don’t forget to let us know what your favourite item is from our AW13 Collection. Keep showing us how you wear Ruby+Ed by using the hashtag #rubyanded on Instagram!

HOW WE WEAR RUBY+ED: LAURA

The time has come to hide away our sandals for another year and bring back the boots for Autumn. October is one of our favourite months, we love seeing the change that October brings. Earthy-tones, crunchy leaves and a cold chill means we can wrap up in our beanies and snoods.

We wanted to give you an insight into how the team wears Ruby+Ed for Autumn and Winter. We truly love the products that we create here at HQ. There is such a wide variety of different styles and looks here at the office. This feature is dedicated to our team, we are celebrating the way we dress and we would love to hear how you wear Ruby+Ed too, so please email tanya@rubyanded.co.uk with your outfit/slipper pictures.

Laura, our Product Manager, can be seen mixing up her outfit with the Jet Fur Gilet. Laura wears this gilet for a day to night look. The gilet is the ultimate transitional product that you will wear again and again. This statement gilet looks great over a tee and jeans for a casual look, or pair up with our Ebony Sheer Panels Dress for a traditional take on black.

“ The gilet is one of my top pieces from the collection, there are literally so many different ways to wear it. The other night I went out for dinner and I paired it up with my leather leggings and heels, it kept me warm and I still felt great!”

We hope you like the outfit post, don't forget to show us your style.

LONDON FASHION WEEK

This time last week we were in the middle of Somerset House rubbing shoulders with some of the top stylists and fashion bloggers at London Fashion Week. Tanya, our PR & Marketing Assistant centered her outfit around her Jet fur gilet (third picture along).

Tanya managed to meet up with the lovely girls from Your Coffee Break down in London to have a good catch up over a lovely cup of coffee! The girls have always been really supportive of the brand so we loved seeing Charlotte (bottom right) rock our Mink Cossack Hat at London Fashion Week, doesn't she look great! 

Whilst queueing for the KTZ Show we recognised a familiar face wearing Ruby+Ed. Spotted in Somerset house looking effortlessly cool and very on trend was music and fashion blogger Karis Jones from bettersungthansaid, sporting a tartan cropped jacket and monochrome jogging pants. Karis was wearing our Bzyantine Tee and Wolf fur snood. When she caught our eye we had to ask what she thought of the Ruby+Ed AW13 Collection. Karis told us that she has always been a huge fan of the brand after being given a pair of slippers as a gift. “The collection is beautifully versatile, I love my velvet ballerina slippers but I have to shout out about the embroidered tee shirt collection, the design and hand crafted workmanship is absolutely beautiful, I had to get this one and I have my eye on the Long Sleeve Tee in Jet and also the Jet Gilet.”

Our time at fashion week had us wishing it was Summer again, the pretty pastels were charged this season with an outstanding palette of duck egg blues, spearmint greens and soft violets seen on the catwalks of Burberry, Christopher Kane and David Koma. The schoolgirl pleats also had a comeback on the catwalks of Jonathan Saunders, the premium fabrics and foiled finishes were something that we were all lusting over for next season. For those who can’t wait until then our Illusions Skirt features a digital print and is loose fitting giving the illusion of flowing pleats. We are also in love with the floral prints and 3D blooms on the catwalks, seen on various runways including Matthew Williamson, J.W Anderson and Eudon Choi. We have always loved what a flowery flair can do to a garment so brace yourself for Ruby+Ed’s SS14 Collection.

COLDER DAYS

The days are becoming shorter and the chilly mornings are upon us so this can only mean one thing… winter is coming. But worry not, we have exactly what you want and need to get you through!

Let me introduce you to our wardrobe saviours.

BIG is beautiful this winter. Oversized coats have been reminding us how much we love the androgynous style and we are all shouting out about the tom boy look this season.  Previously seen on Sienna Miller, our Faux Fur coats come in styles including long coats, jackets and hooded coats. Choose either the Mink or Jet hooded coat for that oversized look that’s sure to keep you warm and cosy.

Textured coats were seen all over the AW13 Catwalks with Prada and Givenchy stealing the shows with their oversized furs. We have a new shorter version of our classic hooded coats available in our beautiful mahogany Mink and the wilder option of Snow Leopard. You can also match the jackets up with our winter accessories, a snow leopard headband or mink cossack hat is sure to finish off your outfit. Shop our selection of winter accessories.

We are bringing back the charm and sophistication of the 1920’s. Unveil your inner lady and drape yourself in our luxury long coats that remind us of the upper class heroines of the roaring twenties. The classic styles come in both a long coat and a shorter version jacket, in two different faux furs, Bear and Siberian Stone.  The vintage treasures all have a wide collar and hook fastenings. Team with the Bear or Stone clutch bag for a super sophisticated look.

For a modern take on the faux fur look, we would like to introduce the Mink Cropped Jacket. Whether you're shopping in the day or having a playful night on the town, the Mink cropped jacket is the perfect option to add that extra bit of chic to your outfit!

If you aren’t ready for winter just yet, then the gilet remains the perfect tran-seasonal piece. A great addition to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe, you can wear it whatever the weather and it will carry you right through until next summer! Team it with our Tribal Tee Ecru for a casual day look.

AW13 HAS LAUNCHED

Click here to see the Ruby+Ed YouTube Channel. 

Haunting, Majestic, Beautiful. 

Set amidst a vast country park, Lypiatt is home to the sublime imaginative sculptures of Lynn Chadwick and his son Daniel. 

For AW13 we selected this elaborate location as the backdrop for our collection, we were mesmerised by its endless hallways adorned in iconic art.

Gliding through the vaulted gallery, the art reflects a study of motion, kinetic energy, angular and organic structures forged anew by man. Old and new side by side,  the grounds natural and the sculpture unnatural forming a stark contrast, alien like and unreal.  Our iconic coats and gilets, crafted from luxury realistic looking animal fur, move through this setting, borrowing grandeur, depicting their rich dense pile and beautiful lustre. 

Enjoy.

A GLIMPSE INTO AW13

We are very excited to give you a sneak peek into our brand new AW13 Collection.

This year we are launching our fabulous faux fur gilets for the first time ever!

A faux fur gilet will be a classic staple for your winter wardrobe this year. If you are looking for a fashion investment then the faux fur gilet is the one for you. A perfectly transitional product that will take you from Autumn to Winter and back around to next Spring. The beauty of Ruby+Ed gilets is that the sleeveless style means there are a variety of ways to wear it. Go large with a bigger size and play around with silhouettes.

We have three key gilets for you this year, inspired by the catwalks of Malene Birger and Belfstaff. A simple, one colour gilet offers an incredibly chic and sophisticated look, as loved by fashionista Olivia Palermo. Get the look with our Jet fur gilet from September 2013.

Another addition to the Collection is the Wolf gilet. Rosie Huntington-Whitely is a key follower of the gilet trend and you can recreate her look at Ruby+Ed. The Wolf Gilet will look great over our Long Sleeve Jet Tee, add some knee high boots to create a loose and layered Bohemian style.  

The final addition to the Gilet family is the Reversible Aztec Stone gilet, made with a superior blend of Siberian Stone faux fur on one side and a woven cotton blue and white Aztec design on the other. The reversible style means you get two very different looks from one gilet.

To retain exclusivity the collection will be limited edition and there is now a pre order list open. For more information click here.  To secure your gilet today, call us on 01664 452906 to guarantee you will be one of the first to wear a Ruby+Ed faux fur gilet!
