Mayday 2025 collection.
Just over 20 pieces of unique, one off pieces made from the most beautiful vintage French linen and dyed by me, here in Provence with natural dyes. Creating this collection has been wild, we have put our all into every detail and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed creating it. We have even filmed a music video/short film in collaboration with Sainte Anouk featuring her single Ring. You can check it out here on my website.
Not only that, I have teamed up with my bestie Charlotte at Saash to create the ultimate Billynou sterling silver, flower inspired accessories. These jewellery pieces are totally exclusive and just ( insert swear word ) INCREDIBLE. In true keeping with the Billynou aesthetic, they are big statement pieces with a floral fairy inspired elegance. I get a lot of comments asking where I get my lovely jewellery, so here you go, now you can enjoy your own. I have also included the next piece from my ready to wear collection. A super boxy, oversized camp shirt with lots and lots of buttons. It’s such a cool shirt. This is available on pre-order so only order now if you don’t mind a little wait.
Enjoy Ceilidh

Creative Floral Retreat, Le Poët Laval, May 29 - June 1 2025.
It’s back! Our Creative Floral Retreat of last year was such a success we absolutely knew we had to do it again. This time we have added an extra day to the agenda with extra creative floral inspired activities and some surprises, to get your creative juices flowing from a place of connection and calm. We can proudly say we are experts at curating the perfect environment and experiences to help you unwind and immerse yourself in the glow of floral inspired creation. Three and a half days and three nights to enjoy the perfect combo of doing and not doing, plenty of activities and plenty of time to chill. Our secluded location has an indoor swimming pool with a view and a huge window that opens to the elements, an exercise room (optional of course) and the most beautiful forest walks just on it’s door step. These three days of creativity will be punctuated with floral banquets, snacks and beverages, flavours of fresh local delicacies, including in season fruits and veggies, exquisite French cheese and crunchy bread. Our goal is to pleasure all of the senses. If you are one of the many who have been waiting for us to host another retreat and would like to treat yourself ( or a loved one) to an exquisite experience in the French countryside alongside us then this is your chance, we are so excited for you to join us.
Latest in the series of Billynou patterns is this very adaptable peasant gather top/dress. I love sewing and creating garments for you all but I also want to offer you the option to create your own Billynou garments at home and I think this is the perfect easy sewing project for home sewing. Depending on the size of fabric you use, this garment will usually fit a wide range of sizes and I personally think it is incredibly flattering for all body types. It is a comfortable statement piece for you and your children.
