For almost 25 years, Lee Mathews has been making functional and beautiful garments designed to resonate with people’s lives. And the latest Autumn/Winter 2024 collection is no exception.

Constructed to carry you through the cooler months, the new collection features fluid tailoring in waxed linen, sheer organdie dresses and crushed satin separates.

As with all Lee Mathews inventory, the latest designs are centred around high-quality, natural woven textiles sourced from experts in their craft. The best part about natural fibres? They’re soft, lightweight and remain breathable in winter through to summer.

The range is made up of a tonal colour palette with hints of verdant green, honeycomb and violet that are balanced by easy-wearing neutrals. It’s all about trans-seasonal pieces that slot seamlessly into your wardrobe and promise ultimate comfort.
