For those that don’t know, Cottagecore is a concept that romanticises the rustic charm of an idealised English countryside - focusing primarily on the wholesome aesthetics and activities surrounding this simpler and serene fantasy of living. The subculture saw a massive surge in popularity during the start of the pandemic, when the world was thrust into the mandatory domesticity of quarantine. If you’ve ever found yourself experimenting with sourdough starter kits and spending hours scrolling through various antique furniture accounts on Instagram, you’ve already dipped your toe in the sepiatoned serenity of Cottagecore.
