Meet the Clothing Designer Whose Muse is an Island (And Shop Our Favorite Looks!)

By COASTAL LIVING

The incomparable allure of the Caribbean island of Mustique inspires Lotty Bunbury’s imaginative patterns for dresses, caftans, swimsuits, and more. Lotty Bunbury designs patterns for her Pink House Mustique and Lotty B clothing lines in an aptly named gingerbread cottage on the Caribbean island. We talked with Bunbury about the island that is her muse.

What brought you the 4,000 miles from London to Mustique? LB: We came out 24 years ago when my husband took a job as an island doctor. He thought it might be a bit of fun for a year, but we just stayed and stayed. It was the most idyllic lifestyle for bringing up a family; when my children were small, the island was their playground.
