For a good while now I've been into capes .

They're something I've allways liked personally and seem to have passed into the realm of fashion classic . Worn with jeans and boots for example they are the epitome of casual chic. 

I was spurred on to make some by the chance find of a couple of vintage beauts . A little cleaning and loving care was all that was needed to restore these gorgeous pieces to life.

.

The tartan one was so popular on face book it sold in 10 minutes and never made the website ! The classic 60s style black and white one is still available in store and on The website as we speak. 

I found a beautiful wool tartan blanket and recycled it into this cape which is my own design . I was particularly interested in creating a wearable hood . (I'm allways dissapointed with hoods that don't  function on a garment.  ) the design is very full and swingy , being almost a full circle . It doesn't need arm slits as it is roomy and stops just above the hands . This one also sold immediately ! 

I've also sourced the most adorable print cotton blend vintage style linings. When you move your arms , people get a glimpse of it. 

I've finished it with a lovely metal clasp. 

This seafoam coloured cape is made from vintage wool fabric that I dyed myself. 

There's going to be a lot more. . So keep your eyes peeled ❤
