Recently I went on a little research flurry, even going so far as to request help from Instagram in order to find the perfect crisp cotton shirting in a bitter chocolate brown. What can I say? Pinterest got me a bit obsessed with a combo which I think should be called choco-nana.
I didn’t do much research into the nana portion of this colour scheme inspo (maybe that’s soon), but I did find quite a few choco fabrics in Aus and NZ!
