Cape-ability Black


My uncunningly punning mind went first to 'Cape Crusader' and then thought better of it. Next up, 'Cape of Good Goat' and shortly after I hit rock bottom.

So I went about doing something else (we're currently working on a bespoke print for a scarf for a famous London charity) so I did a bit of that and sent stuff off and got stuff back etc. Business.

And then, BOOM. Capability Brown. Capability Black. Cape-ability Black. Perhaps the last permutation is step too far. Perhaps not. Who knows? Who cares?

Vogue cares. Vogue cares about capes right now. (apologies for tattered edge of image. Was overwhelmed):

And that is something I am pleased about for I care for capes. They have been the mainstay of our Autumn/Winter collections for a number of years now. Last year, we introduced the black/bright contrast with this Black and Magenta Double-Sided Cape in Cashmere and Silk (£195) selling up a storm:

This year, we're backing the black/camel as the dead-cert, given that camel seems to be the colour and you really cannot go wrong with this combo. As indeed the black/ivory. Both are currently sold out but we expect new stock by the end of August.

For Bright meanwhile we have been a little more experimental with a navy/ballerina pink version winging its way in and a coco/terracotta to boot.

Terracotta. Brown. Cape-ability brown. Capability Brown.
