Like a multi-vitamin for your soul, turquoise holds a mystical reputation for amplifying the wearer’s power. Known in Native American tribes as a sacred gemstone for healing and protection, it has been said to shield from negative vibes and comfort stress. Modern-life might not be the wild wild west but we certainly have our share of eye-raising moments. Whether just seeking a daily pick-me-up or an exotic island escape from the winter reality, be uplifted by the subtlest splash of blue into your everyday regime.

Blue Walker
When we saw Vogue’s Irina Linovich at Paris Fashion Week in a pleated moss dress, camel trench and turquoise boots - we were besotted with the idea of adding the ideal balance of zing to what could be a dull colour scheme without feeling too ‘look at me’. Even more sneaky is when you swap out the boots for blue-tinged sneakers.
