The Cashmere Scarf

Woven from pure two-ply cashmere and gently brushed to a soft, airy hand, this scarf is cold-weather indulgence at its most understated. Generous in both length and width and finished with neat, hand-knotted fringes at each end, it wraps once or twice and drapes with quiet, effortless ease.

We kept it resolutely solid and tonal — no pattern to date it, no motif to tire of, only the remarkable depth, softness and warmth of genuinely good cashmere. It folds down to almost nothing in a coat pocket and opens into the warmest, lightest layer you are likely to own, equal to a grey winter morning or a cool evening that lingers.

Worn with a wool overcoat or thrown over the linen blazer as the temperature drops, it is the accessory that makes everything around it look more considered. Store it folded with a little cedar through the warmer months, and it will return each winter as good as the day it arrived.
