With 42 breathtaking city scenes to bring to life, this is perfect for the travel junkie, the design nerd, the interior enthusiast, the fashionista, or just about anyone who thrives on a city buzzing with stories.

Think chic, uplifting, and overflowing with delightful little details that transform colouring from a task to an actual discovery.
