I get most of my clothes second hand. For the same price (or less) as hiring a skirt from you I’ll get a fine cotton top from Agnes B or Soeur or Vince or Margaret Howell. There is no link for the Plantation range by Issey Miyake, it is no longer in production. It’s a different way of reducing your carbon footprint and I love and care for my treasured finds.

My daughter exclusively wears striped “Breton” tops. Again, I get them second hand from brands such as Le Minor, Orcival, Armor Lux, Petit Bateau, Saint James, APC. They are awesome, never had a stain I couldn’t get out and they just get more and more comfortable with each wash (no uniform at her school so she literally wears them every day). For her legs; no jeans, no buttons, no zips, so black joggers only with variable thickness according to the season.

Here’s the thing, all the clothes we have and love allow unfettered freedom of movement. I saw Zara in your catalogue. You should try a Zara blouse and jacket on one day and try putting a bag in an overhead compartment or hold on to ceiling strap in a crowded train (carrying a child on your shoulders is probably too difficult to arrange). Awful!

As for Uniqlo’s Heattech range:
