Meet with our Autumn campaign star Mary. She is 93 and still looking fabulous. We met Mary as our neighbour and have built a friendship in the past few years. When designing this campaign, we had her in mind as our model. We are so happy with her presence which brought such a great energy to our day.

Coastal Tales is the sister brand of Studio Sahil. Our designs carry everyday elegance and enthusiasm, qualities that Mary embodies effortlessly.

Mary begins each morning at seven with a refreshing swim, keeping both body and mind in balance. During our time together, she spoke fondly of learning to sail with her late husband and of weekends spent racing across the waters of Holland and France, all while pursuing her career in an architecture office and raising three children. Her stories are filled with adventure, from life in London to her travels around coastal cities.

Mary’s collaboration with Coastal Tales represents far more than a simple photoshoot. It is a celebration of vitality, confidence and timeless style. Every accessory featured was personally selected and styled by Mary. We are deeply grateful to her for guiding us through the secret gardens of Regent’s Park and transforming our photoshoot into a truly memorable day.
