Our walking skirt collection is growing and we are excited to introduce some new additions. Firstly we have the original walking skirt which has a new name ‘The Compass’ because which ever way you go you’ll stay dry.
With making room for our new show stock, the final few ex-demo walking and riding skirts have had a further reduction in price. We have also added our Woodland ear warmers to our sale, perfect for keeping you warm during this freezing weather!
Our 12 days of Christmas sale is drawing to a close but don’t worry the skirts will stay live for the whole of December.
All the sale skirts are ex-demo and make for a perfect opportunity for you to grab yourself an early christmas present or why not nudge your other half into getting you one.
Thank you to everyone that is being patient on waiting for orders and thank you to those that have recently placed new orders, it means the world to us here at Nouvelle Habit.
Every year I like to put a list together of some Christmas gift ideas. This list consists of a mix of gifts, ones that I’m secretly wishing for, some are from business I have met over the last year and loved their products and some I already own!
We our delighted to announce, that we will still be attending The Horsemanship Showcase Show in November. Come and see us at our last show of the year.
We will have our full trade show stand, with both our riding and walking skirts for you to try on and order at the show. Our full range of colours and sizes including the three new wax cotton colours will be on show.
Unfortunately, Odette our founder had to have an operation a couple of weeks ago which has meant she now needs to take some time off to recover.
We are working hard to maintain current expected delivery times but if there are any expected changes to an order you have already placed we will be in direct contact with you.
Any new orders cannot be guaranteed before Christmas. Please do email before placing an order if you are hoping for a Christmas delivery.
To make sure you don’t miss out if you really want a Christmas skirt we will be doing a Christmas sale- The 12 days of Christmas from the 1st to the 12th of December. We will be selling our ex-demo walking and riding skirts, there will be limited colours and sizes. We will be adding a few skirts each day for 12 days.

To celebrate Nouvelle Habit’s 1st birthday. I am launching a Limited edition Hoodie.
The ‘Madeline is a luxurious Navy and Gold Hoodie. Named after my super pony Maddie
These photo’s was taken at the shoot for my new product, Maddie just couldn’t resit being part of the team and followed us about so naturally ended up taking center stage. It was at this point that I decided to name the hoodie after her.
A huge thanks to The Gaitpost for featuring me as part of their “Meet the Maker’ series.

During the making of ‘The Moorland’ riding skirt, I had the idea that it would be great if you could get a wax cotton walking skirt.
Myself and my partner love to go camping and walking and are not put of by the weather. My partner has some water proof trousers but I don’t as I hate the idea of wrestling my muddy boots off to then peel off wet trousers. The idea of the skirt was much more appealing. The skirt would have a similar design and concept to ‘The Moorland’ a wrap around waxed cotton skirt that I could simply pop on and off over what ever Im wearing and hang it up easily to dry when I was finished.
Thank you to Rural Life magazine for this lovely feature of ‘The Moorland’ riding skirt. If you would like to view the online Spring issue click the link below
