This effortlessly chic jacket can be paired together with our classic trousers and contemporary striped blouse for a perfect day outfit. For stylish holiday dressing, you can combine the jacket with casual coloured trousers and a plain jersey top”.
“For a comfortable relaxed look, our superbly soft jersey jacket with luxurious fleece lining is my ideal choice for spring layering. This elegant jacket works wonderfully when paired with our chic striped top and tones perfectly with our trousers and skirt”.
“I enjoyed working on the colour layout of this patterned stitch on our tonal knit jumper. This top truly reminded me of 1940’s knitwear/Land girls. The two fresh shades of eau de nil are highlighted through the Ivory and it has a soft mélange dove grey added into tone. It looks fabulous paired with our matching bottoms for a wonderful casual outfit or wear head to toe with our soft jacket”.
“Working with our Italian hat factory on an extremely hot day, we came up with a wider brimmed hat based on our usual small summer woven hat. This new style offers a little more protection from the sun. It also has a wonderful soft stiffened edge to the brim which you can style in many flattering ways. The gorgeous hat is made from concentric woven braid, becoming a packable design to put in your handbag for travel”.

“Pastel shades are still enjoying a spike in popularity. One shade that is on-trend now is lilac, which will bring a soft side to spring and summer looks. My favourite head to toe outfit in this very flattering and popular hue is our cotton textured stripe jumper paired with our classic lilac trousers”.

Our Mail Order and Customer Services Manager, Paula, started with Cotswold Collections 15 years ago as a part-time customer services operator when she had two young sons at home. Today, she oversees the operations of the department and says that “no two days are ever the same! They are as individual and unique as the customers that call”.
Supporting her in the day-to-day running is her Assistant Mail Order Manager, Natalie and Assistant Customer Service Manager, Sharman as well as a loyal, helpful and diligent team of 18. First thing in the morning, after grabbing a cup of coffee, Paula ensures that all the team members of the day have arrived and are organised for the expected days calls.
Once everyone is happy and settled, Paula then begins her days tasks, including responding to any emails as well as reviewing the previous days sales to see if we have reached the daily target. Although each day is never the same as the last, Paula has a variety of tasks to undertake; from creating and managing ever changing rota’s, overseeing department operations, reviewing timesheets, liaising with all other departments, training on new system procedures, responding to enquiries and queries, and of course, answering incoming calls.
Each member of the team also has their own individual tasks along with answering calls and these can include: responding to customer emails, requesting catalogues and arranging postage of them, processing returns and exchanges including the paperwork as well as requesting alterations and organising shipments of customer orders.
Paula says “within each role here you have to be adaptable and versatile as each day brings new challenges and you can have requests of any sort arise at any moment. Every phone call can bring a different challenge to an operator, they need to have the ability to respond and adapt effectively and efficiently. Having good, reliable product knowledge and being up-to-date on product availability is vital to the smooth running of the department”.
In customer services, as the first point of contact for many of our customers, the philosophy is ‘a smile within a voice’. This means providing friendly and welcoming first-class customer service to every individual. Whether they’ve been purchasing from Cotswold Collections for many years, or if they’re a first-time customer. Paula says “we want everyone to feel happy, confident and assured during every call. It’s important to us to identify with customers to provide a personal service and we pride ourselves on our fast response time, so our valued customers aren’t kept waiting even on our busy sale days! I’m very lucky to have such a brilliant team that are lovely, diligent and believe in our ethos”.
The department has recently experienced exciting new challenges as Cotswold Collections has launched in America. Changes have included the growth of the team to include staff who work remotely in order to accommodate the time difference. “This has posed lively challenges for us as a whole and it’s incredibly exciting to be part of a new venture” says Paula.
When asked what the best part of her role here is at Cotswold Collections, Paula responded “simply, it’s the customer. They are at the heart of what we do in every department. I love being one of the first points of contact for our lovely ladies and speaking to the vast range of customers we have. I always enjoy being able to sort out any concern for them efficiently and promptly too”.

New Year, New Season, New Patterns!
Look forward to the New Year and revamp your wardrobe with the bright contemporary prints in our Early Spring 2020 collection!
Patterns have been a staple part of fashion history, in East Asia the earliest surviving example of Woodblock printing dates back to 220AD. Then in 1860 William Jennings Demorest and Ellen Louise Demorest revolutionised the industry by introducing sewing patterns. Over the years there have been many revivals of the ‘classic’ prints and they have certainly sustained their popularity throughout each decade.
This year is no exception to the trend, and we’re looking forward to bringing you key pieces, thoughtfully created by our designers in the heart of the Cotswold’s and styled to suit you…
Showcasing a fabulously modern geometric floral print, these gorgeous jersey separates look beautiful paired together and can be effortlessly coordinated with pieces from your existing wardrobe.
The classic polka dot motif has been refashioned on this intriguing French soft blouse, perfect for all occasion wear as well as a layering piece over a t-shirt. It also looks stunning with the complementing silk and cotton scarf, printed for us in England.
Florals are always wonderfully feminine, and we have a lovely selection in our latest collection. For a lighter piece to wear throughout the season into summer and beyond, take a look at our soft, warm blouse featuring a charming French botanical print. Add a stylish layer to your ensembles with our luxuriously warm jacquard cardigan which showcases an eye-catching floral design in a bright spring hue.
Chic and luxurious, our fully fashioned mélange jumper has a feature front panel of jacquard knit in three lovely colours creating a wonderful stripe effect pattern.

Our lightweight insulating layers, natural fibres and attractive textures are all designed in easy, comfortable wear-me-now styles, perfect for easing the process of transitioning through the season change.
Keep warm on those chiller days of the season in cosy, warming pieces like our pure lambswool cardigan, knitted in the softest machine washable yarn in a glorious blue shade and styled with a lovely chevon stitch fashioning.
Be prepared for unpredictable weather changes in our practical and stylish coats, perfect for protecting you against the elements while being light enough to carry or pack if needed. Our reversible insulated down coat is brilliantly versatile with the two options for wear and is quilted for excellent warmth.
Glorious, bright, spring inspired tones feature throughout the collection in a range of styles and will instantly transcend your look into Spring. Made in pure wool woven in a British heritage fabric, our gorgeous lovat hue tweed jacket has a subtle check weave and is a lovely, uplifting finishing layer.
Beautiful feminine florals have been a staple in spring/summer fashion for a while now and this year we have refashioned these favourites. Our delightful Italian print chiffon skirt showcases a stunning hydrangea design in eye-catching tones of green and blue. The unique, almost geometric pattern of our floral jersey separates is a lovely alternative to the classic design and can be worn together for a pretty ensemble or paired with plains from your existing wardrobe.
