The story behind the design
Ginger Bread Brown is inspired by the warm colours of autumn, the smell of freshly baked gingerbread and quiet days by the fire. The natural brown tones meet a soft plum pink shade that gives the design life and depth without taking attention away from the classic silhouette.
