For each of the twelve seasons I have selected ten colours that I think are key and put them into a small case that easily fits into a shopping bag or pocket.
This year I then added a selection of ten neutrals and base colours for each season. These are chosen to give you core colours in your wardrobe that will work with the colours in the palette - your foundations.
Each swatch is 7cms high by 4.5 cms wide. They are made by me from spare fabric that I buy when I buy fabric to make drapes for my colour analysis sessions. I currently have six hundred but am adding to the collection on a regular basis.
Each pack costs £24 plus postage. I post these small packs by 1st class Royal Mail.
Many clients buy both the Top Ten Colours and Top Ten Neutrals for their season. I have sourced leather wallets that have pockets inside to hold the swatches. Each pocket has a hole in which means that you can see the fabric and so the accurate colour of the swatch, whilst the swatch is still protected.
Again - the wallet is easy to carry for shopping.
The cost is £48 plus postage. I post these parcels tracked due to the higher price point.
Most seasons currently have around fifty swatches. I have found an A5 file that holds them all and lets the end of each swatch be visible so that the accurate colour of the swatch can be seen whilst the swatch is still protected. The pages of the file are designed to pull out so you can spread your palette out and work with your colours. Imagine being able to cut up a colour fan and make each colour six times larger and turn the paper into fabric. You can build new colour combinations. You can check colours against clothes in your wardrobe. You can create capsule palettes. You can shop easily.
The file is also perfect for inserting a postcard sized colour palette showing seventy colours. These are created by Prism xii. I also include Prism xii wallet cards which mean that you can literally carry your palette, top ten colours and lipstick guide around in your wallet. These are free when you purchase the file.
The cost of fifty swatches in the file is £112 plus postage.
You really can choose any swatch or swatches. You can buy one for £2. You can buy a few. You can buy from any season and mix them all up together. You can choose a case, a wallet, a file or you can choose to have no holder.
Each season has a listing to “Create your own Palette” with the names of swatches listed. You need to Email me the swatches that you would like to buy and I will send you back a price and set up a shop listing just for you. Some clients are buying a few and then, over time adding to their collection.
The cost is £2 per swatch, plus the holder if you want one and postage.
