We love our spring novelties, they always burst with life in the form of patterns and colors. They announce brighter and warmer times, while we still wrap ourselves in warm sweaters and shoot ourselves while we warm our fingers on the cardboard mug of the to-go coffee.
Although all our vintage style brands have lovely seasonal novelties, Palava is one of those brands which, with their whimsy and playfulness, welcome spring in their own beautiful way.
Palava's fine patterns and feminine vintage cuts are absolutely wonderful, and we know that you have to be quick at the keys to secure your favorite Palava, for example the tiger animals fly away that had wings instead of paws.
PALAVA - unique novelty prints
Here at Mondo Kaos, we love the unique novelty print, which you certainly won't see anywhere else. Palava manages again and again to create fine and beautiful embroideries with great love for their subjects, whether plants, animals or people are portrayed.
There is something for every style, both animals and flowers, and patterns for those who just want a little more pop of color.
Their knitwear is always eagerly awaited and triggers great excitement in both us and our customers, who cannot get enough of the wonderful quality and the fantastic colors and embroideries.
The knitwear is so versatile and can be worn with anything, whether it's a pair of jeans or a true vintage outfit.
Cardigans with large back embroidery
We get three different cardigans in the beautiful organic cotton with the most beautiful back embroideries. First there is the parrot shirt.
The cardigan is a beautiful clear, almost turquoise blue color with an off-white rib with a coral colored edge. The parrot has outspread wings and is in coral and light blue, with a bit of contrasting green. This one is perfect with your neutral bottoms where it really brightens it up.
Vintage style tiger cardigan
The tiger is with beige and navy, kept in more neutral colors. Down the sleeves there is a beautiful check pattern, and on the back the beautiful tiger which breaks the neutral with its orange and rust colored shades. This cardigan can be easily combined with both the beige and navy colors, as well as stronger colors.
Peacock embroidery
The last jersey has a very beautiful back embroidery of a peacock in full plumage. The fascinating peacock feathers contrast beautifully with the cardigan's base color in coral. The small bort in navy makes it ideal to combine this with, for example, a skirt in red or navy, or a pair of wide trousers .
Palava - family owned vintage design
Palava is a small family-owned business based in London, based on designer Bryony's beautiful, imaginative patterns and prints.
1950s novelty
Palava stands for vintage style with a dash of British playful charm, and the clothes are based on classic vintage cuts.
Inspired by vintage designs, Bryony also creates the characteristic and imaginative prints and embroideries that are characteristic of Palava .
For new ideas, Bryony likes to be inspired by1950s vintage novelty prints, and themes such as music and dance, as well as by flora and fauna in the form of beautiful animal and leaf prints.
Vintage style patterns from Palava
Scallop pattern and tie bow
This year we have received two really beautiful knitted blouses , with patterns that were widely used in the 1930s and 1940s knitwear . One has the famous 'scallop' pattern, in fine curves in dusty green and beige. The other has an angular 'chevron' style pattern.
Short sleeve vintage style knitwear
Likewise with the beautiful 'scallop'/bow pattern, but without the bow detail, the two short-sleeved blouses in coral colored and light blue. They are high-necked and thus have a classic vintage knit shape.
Both blouses have ¾ long sleeves, a rib in off-white and a beautiful tie detail, which you also find in vintage knitwear . The last short-sleeved blouse is in wavy stripes in coral, turquoise and beige.
Palava's sweaters in beautiful patterns are a big hit in the store, and with their wonderful color combinations, they can brighten up any vintage outfit. They are perfect styled with, for example, the Riviera trousers from , or a nice A-line skirt.
Sustainability and organic cotton at Palava
Palava's cotton, which is used for all their knitwear, is not only certified organic, it is also both grown and spun in Turkey. Finally, it is also in Turkey that cotton blouses and cardigans are made, so it is the specialists who take care of the beautiful cotton cardigans all the way from the field to the finished cardigan.
On the whole, Palava attaches great importance to sustainability, and has taken a number of precautions to produce as environmentally friendly as possible while at the same time having a strong focus on employee welfare. All dresses , skirts and trouser suits are sewn in a small factory on the outskirts of London. Also, Palava packs their clothes in biodegradable bags, rather than plastic; a small step towards a plastic-free future.
Spring dress from Palava
Palava is particularly known for their beautiful A-line and shirt dresses with beautiful novelty prints. These are dresses that are made in the most beautiful sustainable quality fabrics, and with lots of expression, we also guarantee that your Palava dress will make you smile every time you put it on.
The spring dress from Palava has a v-neck, wide waist and flattering A-shape. Comfortable and versatile, it has the most enchanting print of white apple blossoms and leaves scattered over a light pastel green background. A true spring gem.
More beautiful knitwear with animal embroidery
We have received a total of seven cardigans in the wonderful 'novelty' style with the fantastic colorful embroideries, where the embroideries are placed on the front of the cardigan.
Both beautiful and funny are, for example, those with lobsters or colorful insects or the orangutan swinging in a vine. There are the 2 bird embroideries; the pink flamingos or the peacocks. The beautiful flower vine on a beige background, and last but not least the famous Palava tiger which leaps elegantly across the collarbone of the cardigan's carrier.
Already have a Palava favourite? We think it is difficult to choose just one, but whichever Palava you choose, we are sure that it will give you great clothing pleasure and welcome spring sensations.
Best wishes
