The artistry of fine English Cashmere

I find my inspiration where I find it, as I believe most artist do. It can be in a sight, a site, a taste, a texture, a whispered promise, a booming note, or ….

Admittedly, mostly for my own entertainment, I have decided to begin a series of entries based on my window shopping experiences, which are often a great source of inspiration, as I am inundated with color, style, promise of texture, and allowed to dream of refurbishing, redecorating, enhancing a wardrobe, using a tool, spreading a new paint onto new canvas …

Recently, I visited a site called Pure Collection, a collective of English cashmere experts, which is purely beautiful. Their site is geared toward customers, who enjoy classic clothing, but, also, a hint of the exotic; in that, what they sell is not going to be found at just any shop; who seek quality and value; who have their own sense of style; who understand fashion but are not necessarily led to it.

They suggest themselves as hosting products which are particularly attractive to the 35-55 year old female range, who consider quality clothing a must.

“Our product ethos is all about offering beautifully styled apparel in the finest fabrics and at a sensible price. Although we don’t pretend to be the cheapest, hand on heart we do think we offer the best value. All our cashmere is sourced direct, cutting out the middle man so we can offer the finest cashmere for less.”, they tell me.

I cannot tell you how fine the cashmere feels, or how long it took to get from inner Mongolia to England, but, I can tell you something of the beauty of this site.Oh, and, incidentally, I can also tell you that they are offering discounts on many winter apparels and free shipping, as of my last look. With winter apparel at up to 60 percent off, this might be the time to find yourself that special coat to take you through the rest of this winter and give you a head start on looking fabulous for many winters to come!Take a look at this beautiful pashmina shawl:

So soft looking, so promising of warmth, so colorful and bright against the white of winter, the gray of city life.Or, perhaps this beautiful cashmere-blend double-breasted coat would inspire you, with its classic cut, eye catching buttons, and promise of ultimate comfort.

Paired with a pair of cashmere-lined leather gloves? Which, yes, do come in a lovely dark color to go better with the coat. But, mmm .. look at the lovely, yummy, almost butterscotch flavor .. err .. color …

Imagine, gentleman, taking into your arms a dashing woman of elegant refinement, ensconced in a pure cashmere bell sleeved dress, so temptingly, silky soft to the touch. A classic look, with a sexy touch.

And, what could be more inspiring to the ladies, than a handsome man in a soft, snuggly v-neck sweater, drawing closer, proffering sweet warmth and sweeter latte?

But, cashmere is not all you will find in this shop. Just take a look at this classic, elegant silk dress:

Or, this long, luxurious, shearling coat.

More than enough to inspire dreams, ideas, paintings and drawings of snuggly couples on long, romantic winter walks through the woods, eh?

Enjoy!
