Cavells hosted their very first Macmillan Coffee Morning, and we were proud to be part of it. The team baked an impressive line-up - caramel apple cake, Sicilian lemon loaf, Victoria sponge and triple-chocolate brownies - all filling the store with the kind of warmth that only good cake can.

Throughout the morning, we introduced the 1981 collection, talking through each scent and sharing how layering can shape something uniquely yours. It was a relaxed, curious crowd, and seeing people respond to the fragrances in real time is always a highlight.

Fran, Cavells’ resident Denim Queen, was there too - guiding guests to their perfect jean fit with the ease of someone who truly knows her craft.

Most importantly, the event raised generous donations for Macmillan Cancer Support. A simple, meaningful reminder of what community can do.

A huge thank you to Cavells and to everyone who joined.

With love, 
John (and Patsy, who maintains she supervised the whole thing) 🐾
