Nautical prints find their way in Scotch & Soda's winter collection

Premium fashion brand, Scotch & Soda have introduced their new Autumn/Winter 2017 collection and it is full of extraordinary characters. For Autumn/Winter we travel to four different places that inspired their latest collection: The Soulful Soul The colours of the North-Sea – artic, royal, viking blue, and off-whites – ignites the look and the collection.
