What to know about Boteh
Prints carry the collections
Named after the Persian word for paisley, the range leans on artisan-style prints, hand-craft textile techniques and warm earth tones rather than plain solids.
Built by a swimwear specialist
Founder Amelia Mather spent roughly 14 years designing at Tigerlily before starting Boteh in 2019, and the range is anchored in one-piece and bikini swimwear.
Resort pieces beyond the swim
Off-shoulder and frill tops, plus mini and floor-length dresses, are cut in breathable fabrics from Oeko-Tex 100 certified mills and stocked by Moda Operandi, Browns and Fivestory.
