The prettiest shorts for summer, these are cool and pretty – and would perfect with a breezy Breton top, or a lightweight summer knit thrown over for the cooler evenings. Buy it here.
Alice Palmer
6” Cream Scallop Scrunchie, £95
When Alice Palmer could not find the kind of lampshades she loved enough to drop a couple of hundred pounds on one, she took matters into her own hands and began designing them herself. And thank the style gods that she did. We love her whole collection – but we’re particularly taken with this sweet scalloped scrunchie number. Simple and joyful. Buy it here.
Pentreath & Hall
Cream Swirl Earthenware – Scalloped Dinner Plate, £135
Friends Ben Pentreath and Bridie Hall came to open their seductive Aladdin’s cave with the most perfect of shop fronts quite by accident. When he took over the building on Rugby Street it was to expand his interior design and architecture office. Together, they transformed part of the front room into tiny shop as an experiment, and from there, it grew and grew both in size and reputation. There are a few beautiful scalloped pieces in the collection, but our very favourite is this summery Cream Swirl Earthenware – Scalloped Dinner Plate. Buy it here.
Marysia
Mexico Cap-Sleeve Scoop-Neck Scalloped Swimsuit, £330
Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves is a former ballet dancer and surfer and has thus spent more of her life in a leotard or swimsuit than most. She launched swimwear label MARYSIA in 2009 after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. We love her flattering shapes and the excellent signature basketweave-textured jersey, which is sourced in Italy. Scallops run throughout her collection, but it is this Mexico Cap-Sleeve Scoop-Neck Scalloped Swimsuit that has stolen our hearts. Buy it here.
Lack Of Colour
Scalloped Dolce Hat, £119
Aussie brand, Lack of Colour, was founded in 2011 by creative duo, Rob and Tess. We can’t get enough of their style, which blends nostalgia with the contemporary. But our favourite one of all must surely be the dreamy Scalloped Dolce Hat, which transports us straight to the Italian Riviera. Buy it here.

Sophie Conran
Navy Scalloped King Size Duvet Cover and Oxford Pillowcases Set, £215
You don’t get to hail from the great Conran design dynasty without developing a knack for designing a good set of bed linen along the way. This one, with its pretty scalloped edges, is crisp and perfect. Buy it here.
Rowen & Wren
Eden Terracotta Pot, £18
Everything that Rowen and Wren does, it does in style. These pretty wavy-edged terracotta pots are no exception (in fact, founder Lucy has a particular thing for terracotta, so it stands to reason she would do it this especially well). The prospect of the summer patio adorned with a cluster of these beauties makes us very happy indeed. Buy it here.
