Claret cashmere

This lovely rich claret cashmere has been used to make several hats. Here is a simple pork pie hat with a turned back brim and a beret.I have also made several cloche hats.

Cashmere is so very soft, warm and luxurious which is why most people just love it.

The beret has a petersham ribbon trim and the hat a toggle button. I wanted the fabric to take all the glory so kept the trims simple.

The roomy shoulder bag is made from a wool tweed and has a linen lining.

Lots of colours can be teamed with claret, I think a pair of magenta leather gloves would look

great.What would you choose.?
