On the way back from last Saturday’s impromtu shopping trip, I stopped at Bluebird – there was a posh mini-market just outside the restaurant. I came across a stall with lots of beautiful (and expensive) cashmere, which does deserve a mention. Having acquired a fair amount of cashmere in New York on my last trip (the full extent of the cashmere extravaganza is between me and Jackie!), I could appreciate the quality, if not the price. It was Emma Jane Knight’s (ejk) cashmere and she was ‘manning’ the stall herself. As she explained there is so much competition in cashmere these days, she went for the top end of the market. Fair enough. I particularly like the BAST style (£260).
AFRODITE also looks wonderful, I am still looking for that ultimate wrap top.
So it seems that what I need to do now is to blog about all the cashemere I got in New York last week.
I'm Jackie, 29, an American in London: Lover of pretty things, cute things, and good bargains. Here, I catalogue my finds, all the art I covet, and the one trillion crafts I wish I could make.
That second wrap top looks fantastic – but then I suspect anything would on a body like that!
I want some cashmere socks, if you ever see any on your expeditions, Adriana.
Here are some cashmere socks. Black, white, grey; knitted in Scotland.
