A camouflage-print jacket is the ultimate trend-setting piece this season! Casual, comfy and cozy, it’s the perfect piece to throw on to offset the winter chill, whether you’re spending the day running errands or heading out to a fun weekend brunch.

This toasty-warm and undeniably comfortable camo jacket by Rich & Royal features a figure-flattering wrap-around belt and a plunging neckline for an alluring, feminine touch.

We love to team this jacket with a classic pair of jeans — think the Haikure Los Angeles Jeans, with edgy fringe detailing around the ankles — and a sweet pair of ballets in a matching shade of khaki to tie the look together with sophistication.

 

Autumn is finally settling in! As the weather cools down, it’s time to put away the shorts and sandals and slip into something a little more weatherproof.

Early autumn weather has a habit of being unpredictable at times, however. Those chilly mornings often melt into warmer afternoons, which can cause some indecision in regards to planning one’s outfit for the day: you want to be equipped for all possible weather outcomes, after all! What’s a girl-on-the-go to do?

The solution: layering. Far more nuanced than just throwing a jacket over your outfit, the art of excellent layering involves matching just the right pieces to ensure a flattering silhouette and a perfectly put-together outfit.

Our favourite layered look this season is the classically preppy combination of a smart white button down and a cozy knit. This irresistible jumper by Rich & Royal features a subtle star motif, adding a whimsical touch to your outfit — and the Rich & Royal white shirt’s structured fit and shining silver cufflinks add elegance to this timeless wardrobe staple.

The Autumn chill is setting in! As the cooler months swiftly approach, it’s time to stock up on comfy, cozy sweaters to snuggle up in.

This season, we have an array of stylish and unique knits available. From stunning star patterns to ravishing ruffle detailing, these soft yet durable knits are your key to a stylish transition into winter. Keep it simple with a pair of jeans, or pair these stylish sweaters with a flowing, pleated skirt for a more feminine take.

These lovely knits are available in-store and online — grab your favourites today before they sell out!

If we had to choose just one word to describe our new apparel collection, featuring unique and gorgeous items from Rich & Royal, we’d pick: enchanting. That’s why we wandered into the spellbinding pine forest of Centennial Parklands to shoot these captivating pieces. Australian figs, evergreen oaks, exotic pines, eucalypts and paperbarks fill the forest, making it the perfect autumnal setting (despite the scorching summer heat!) Model Riahn Griffiths brought the simple-yet-classic collection to life.

From ultra-cool, laid back sweaters to flowing pleated skirts, this is one collection that is as versatile as it is fashionable. Slip into the easy-to-wear Riley mule or one of our sweet signature ballet flats, and you’ll be stylishly equipped for the cooler weather ahead.

Artist, modern calligrapher and content creator, Anastasia Tanuputri is the talent behind Design By Was.

 Through creating stunning personalised gift tags, prints and stationery, Anastasia’s signature style has made a mark in the creative industry and her work is definitely something to keep an eye out for!  

 As modern calligraphy is such a beautiful form of artistic expression, here at Sambag we just had to share Anastasia’s talent with you and find out more about the woman behind the work.  

Can you tell us a little bit about what you do? 

 I create lettering & modern calligraphy for marketing campaigns, small businesses and personal projects.

What is the inspiration behind your work? 

 Minimal art, people on the street & fashion.

What memorable responses have you had from your work? 

 The latest one was from a customer who postponed her camping trip, just so she could get some gift tags personalised by me.

What has been your favourite projects to work on? 

 The wall art on the sides of the escalator in Westfield Penrith. This is definitely at the top of the list, as I am afraid of height! Creating art whilst conquering my fears was very challenging.

Which pens, paper & tools are your favourite? 

 Brushes (synthetic & sable, depending on the look I want to achieve) and black indian ink. I also like canson paper for creating original artwork.

How has your style developed over the years? 

 When I first started, I didn’t have many different variations or styles. Now though, that I have been doing this for awhile, I have found my own style. I work each day on strengthening this unique style.

 When did your passion for letter writing, calligraphy begin? 

 After my second daughter started going to day-care, I found that I had more time to myself. I saw modern calligraphy on Instagram accounts I followed, and I fell in love straightaway. 

Come visit Anastasia at Sambag Woollahra, between 10-12pm, Friday the 15th of December personalising Christmas gift tags for that someone special as part of the Edgecliff rd, Christmas party.
