Community Threads | Marlow

In our series Community Threads, we bring together the creative individuals who make up our TOAST shop teams and explore the ways in which they thoughtfully style pieces from our new collections.

For this instalment, we visit our Marlow shop, located in the heart of the characterful market town. Between browsing our latest collections – and meeting our team in person – wander through the historic Buckinghamshire streets and enjoy a bite to eat along the scenic riverside.

Claire

Claire has been a TOAST team member for close to four years. Her interests include hosting mending circles with friends, volunteering in the local community, and reading. “At the moment, I’m enjoying Neneh Cherry’s autobiography. It’s taking me right back to the nineties – happy memories!”

Claire is a UK size 12 and wears the Ollie Binding Check Cotton Seersucker Shirt and Skirt. “I’ve paired the set with my Solovair loafers from last season.”

Bee

Bee has also been working at our TOAST Marlow shop for almost four years. In her free time, she enjoys sewing and experimenting with natural dyeing. A budding baker, Bee favours pastry galettes filled with plums, peaches and figs. “I really enjoy the process of layering all the delicious elements into the base and making it look beautiful.”

Flo is a UK size 10/12 and wears the Cotton Wool Herringbone Jacket and Trousers. “I love the masculine look of the whole outfit. The jacket is a great fit, and I like wearing the trousers oversized.”

Sandi

Sandi has been welcoming visitors to our Marlow location since its opening in 2021. “I love being at home with my family and dog, Milo, or going for runs with my friends.” When it comes to her wardrobe, she is drawn to simple and comfortable pieces that match her slow-paced lifestyle.

Sandi is a UK size 6/8 and wears the Seersucker Cotton Shirt and Cotton Wool Herringbone Pleat Front Trousers. “At 5'1", I feel great in these beautiful trousers. They work really well for my height.”

Louisa

Louisa, who joined TOAST Marlow a year and a half ago, spends her time between shifts walking in her local woods or reading with her cat by her side. “My current read is Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. It’s deep and thought-provoking, making me reflect for hours after reading just a few pages.”

Louisa is a UK size 8 and wears the Botanical Shadow Print Dress. “It’s a beautiful shape and so easy to wear.”
