The new Mini Boden X Wind in the Willows collection

I love nothing better than a good fashion collaboration. That can be a designer/high street, a celebrity and label or in the case of mini Boden here – with a much loved and classic story.

The Mini Boden x Wind in the Willows autumn collection see boys, girls and babies clothing getting a dose of nostalgia with prints, appliqués and designs inspired by iconic illustrations by E. H Shepherd from the original Wind in the Willows stories by author Kenneth Grahame.

Modern shapes and vibrant bursts of colour as you would expect from Boden are inspired by the open roads, riverbanks and the wild wood – and featuring some charming creatures yes, think Mr Toad, mole, badger and co.

With sporty stripes straight out of the boathouse, the much-loved Boden florals are inspired by the wildflowers and berries that line the riverbanks and all things automotive – as motorcars are a passion for Toad – are on everything from tops, shirts, skirts and accessories. For babies a softer approach is shown with crochet ducks, delicate prints and embroidered creatures.

With a sense of adventure evident in the collection maybe its time to get the kids out on the open road, in the wild woods to fully explore the English countryside – wearing mini Boden X Wind in the Willows of course!
