Real clothes for real women: a client testimonial by Susannah Perry

Susannah Perry was introduced to Anna Ruohonen Paris around three years ago. Here she is wearing the Tabaco silk coat and Silk jogging trousers.

Could you introduce yourself?

A Londoner blessed with two fabulous children, an amazing partner and many great friends, who is passionate about life, music, the arts, food, the natural world and makes her living as a lawyer.

How did you discover Anna Ruohonen Paris? 

It’s a tale of dogs, music and cross-channel friendship. Three years ago my son sang a concert in London with a girl called Miranda, after which I met Miranda’s mother, Joanna, who lives in Paris, and we became friends. About a decade previously, Joanna’s dog had made friends with Anna, and Joanna was introduced to Anna’s clothes. When my partner and I went to visit Joanna in Paris, we visited Anna’s shop, and he bought me some gorgeous clothes, and the rest is history. Once you have worn Anna’s clothes, you really don’t want to buy anyone else’s.

Susannah makes her living as a lawyer. Here she is catching up with work in our Rosebud top made from acetate silk as well as the Essential blazer and Basic trousers made from wool crepe.
Susannah is passionate about many things, one of them being music. Here she is playing piano in our Wave dress in wool crepe.

Why do you buy Anna’s clothing? 

Anna’s designs are uplifting, joyous and a celebration of life. They make me feel fantastic. Real clothes for real women. 

What’s your favourite thing about the label and Anna’s designs? 

The colours and the fabrics are gorgeous. 

Susannah wears our Hollywood coat made from wool and angora to keep her warm.

Which one is your favourite piece? 

You know that’s the hardest question. Each time I put a piece on, I think “this is my favourite.” Perhaps the chartreuse rosebud tunic because the colour is unbelievable – stops traffic in the road – and the cut is effortlessly elegant. 

Once you have worn Anna’s clothes, you really don’t want to buy anyone else’s.
