At Sugarhill Brighton, summer always begins with a story – and Beachside Café is our love letter to slow mornings, salty air and sun-washed escapes.
The joyful story celebrates the Italian philosophy of la dolce vita, featuring a palette of sun-bleached, vibrant colours inspired by picturesque ocean-front resorts. Prints include relaxing beachy waves, fruit and other playful lifestyle conversational motifs, capturing the essence of smaller, unspoilt destinations. This theme lends itself to a more hand-crafted, whimsical approach to embroideries and graphics.
Beachside Café is inspired by those quiet coastal towns where time stretches out lazily. Think striped parasols, clinking espresso cups and handwritten menus tucked into sun-faded windows. The prints are designed to feel collected rather than curated — reminiscent of postcards found in seaside cafés, market stalls overflowing with citrus, and mornings spent wandering barefoot along the shore.
The colour palette blends warm Mediterranean tones with breezy coastal hues: washed blues, zingy lemon, soft coral and mellow terracotta. Together, they evoke the relaxed elegance of seaside living, bringing a joyful but effortless energy to every piece.
Our playful conversational prints are balanced with delicate embroideries that feel intentionally imperfect, echoing a handcrafted spirit. There’s a light-hearted charm running throughout — designs that don’t take themselves too seriously, yet feel timeless and wearable. Each detail invites a sense of escapism, whether you’re dressing for a summer holiday or simply bringing a little sunshine into everyday life.
Beachside Café is about embracing slower moments and finding beauty in the small things — a fresh croissant, a gentle breeze, the colour of the sea at lunchtime. It’s summer, the Sugarhill Brighton way: optimistic, nostalgic and full of joy.

Spring-Summer 2026 - Bold prints, small details & fresh tones
Broderie Anglaise
Few things say summer quite like broderie anglaise, and the Nicola Midi Skirt does it beautifully. In a bold, cheerful pink, this full-skirted midi is covered in intricate circular broderie cutwork — delicate punched eyelets arranged in sunburst patterns across the fabric, finished with a pretty scalloped hem that adds a romantic, vintage-inspired flourish. Gathered from a neat elasticated waistband, the skirt falls in a full, swishy silhouette that's as comfortable as it is flattering. Side pockets make it as practical as it is pretty, while the lightweight cotton fabric keeps you cool and breezy on the warmest of days.
Whether it is worn casually, paired with denim pieces or dressed up, the print brings energy and individuality to an outfit.
