My name is Nayna McIntosh, and I’ve worked in the fashion industry for over 40 years.

When I reached my 50’s I knew I still wanted to be in it but wanted to do it differently. Today, at the age of 63 I feel that even more strongly.

Hope, Curated by Nayna is a passion project of mine because I believe every woman deserves to be the best version of themselves regardless of age or life stage.

I curate a contemporary collection with my lovely friend Lynda, four times a year, all manufactured exclusively in Italy, to make women feel on-trend, relevant and confident.

We are also building a community of like-minded women, women who refuse to sit in the corner and be invisible.  A movement which is empowering women and challenging societal expectations of the so called ‘older woman’.

Yes, we sell fabulous clothes BUT this is about more than just clothes.

Colour
If in doubt, buy it in Chocolate, wear it with Cherry Liqueur, which sounds so delicious, you could drink it or eat it, Winter White and or Mocha. If you try really hard, you could wear all these colours at the same time. Bluebell worn with Mocha is very Italian or keep it simple, with Navy. Monochrome Black & White is striking and confident. And finally, Dark Olive, the winter neutral which looks very modern worn with Black. 

Trends
There were several we felt were spot on for us starting with Faux Fur, except our Faux happens to be in a gorgeous animal print, made up as The Reversible Faux Fur Jacket means it is functional as well as fashionable.

Neutral Animal is back, not sure it ever went away to be honest, see our fabulous Animal Print Cigarette Pant. 

For the Lace trend, see The Chenille Lace Coat or The Chenille Lace Overshirt, both spot on trend and just gorgeous. .

In a fabulous Cool Wool fabric, we have three styles: The Jacket, The Riding Skirt and The Wide Leg Trouser, worn in any combination, you will certainly tick the ‘Suited & Booted’ trend.

As for Cosy Knits, Cashmere, Extrafine Merino, Cable, Pique, Cropped, Longline, Gilets, Pants, you name it, we’ve got it. Our most comprehensive range of knitwear in an array of colours, Chocolate, Mocha, Winter White, Dark Olive, Bluebell, Orange, in addition to the obvious Black and Navy.
