To find out why, look no further than its Tropical Treat range, which brings the bright colours, lush foliage and exotic shapes of a trip to a jungle paradise. SIL was the first with the flamingo trend, so it’s no surprise to see they’re back here in all sorts of forms, from fun inflatables to table decorations and drinking glasses. Joining them this season are more birds of paradise, in the shape of parrots and toucans. You’ll find them as lavish, life-like hanging ornaments, prints on cushions, gift bags and boxes and as a wonderful toucan doorstop that’s certain to become a treasured household friend. Other keynotes of the collection are sunset colours and tropical leaves. For colours, see glowing pinks, flashing reds, rich blues and lush greens, spread over a selection of homewares, glassware, candles and gifting sets. For tropical leaves, look to the beautiful cushions, floral garlands, and patterned bags and boxes. And as always with SIL, there’s a clever combination of fun and style. Particular favourites for trend-watchers will be the exceptional coloured glassware, with multi-hued ombré lanterns, bottles, drinking jars, tap barrels and a standout green leaf-patterned cut- glass vase. The Tropical Treat range can also party with the best of them. Providing the full holiday sundowner effect are cocktail sets with all the hardware you need to serve up a perfect Tequila Sunrise or Strawberry Daiquiri.
