When everything in the news is doom and gloom, there is the one person we can count on to bring us the happy, sunshine vibes – designer Rachel Castle! Castle’s latest collection, Our Australian Summer, embraces a much needed sense of hope and optimism for brighter times ahead.

Inspired by the unique joy of a long hot Aussie summer, Rachel describes Castle’s new range as ‘easygoing and no fuss, colourful simplicity with a little twinkle in its eye’. Take us to that place now! Think baby blue gingham, chalk spots, and a cute little sage-blue floral – best served layered up, in true Castle style.

These three designs are each available in adult, child and cot-sized bedding ranges, including bedspreads, throws, cushions. Part two of the collection includes beach towels, beach bags, sweaters and tees, and summer raincoats, arriving from October onwards.

To celebrate the hopeful future of a long Aussie summer, Castle have VERY generously offered a $1000 voucher giveaway applicable across the entire Castle online range to one lucky TDF reader, available to anyone in Australia! Check out our competition Insta post HERE for all the deets – entries are open from NOW until 10am next Friday August 27th, and winners will be announced on the TDF Insta stories at 5pm the same day!
