Some wardrobes are built around the latest trends. Others look as if they’ve been discovered in a tiny antique shop, tucked between a stack of old storybooks and a mysterious box of forgotten treasures. For Fall/Winter 2026, MABLI invites us into the latter with The Curiosity Shop, a collection that celebrates ten years of dressing childhood with a generous dose of nostalgia, playful imagination and wonderfully unexpected details.
Marking its 10th anniversary, the brand looks back at a decade of design favourites while making room for new discoveries. Think of it as a birthday party where everyone brings a little something special: familiar patterns return, new pieces join the collection, and everything comes together in a deliciously eclectic mix.
The colour palette explores forest green, rusty red, warm mustard, deep blue and dusty pink meet in rich, earthy combinations, while intricate motifs and tactile textures give each piece its own personality. Natural fibres and soft knits make the collection feel as cosy as an afternoon spent exploring the attic at Grandma’s house.
And then there are the details. Berets, bonnets and knitted hats add a storybook charm to the looks, while oversized bows, patterned tights and playful proportions turn even the simplest outfit into a little fashion adventure. From knitted dresses and matching sets to tiny dungarees and ribbed separates, these are clothes made for mixing, matching and, most importantly, moving around.
