Scottish Cashmere With A French Accent

I love the British fashion magazine Tatler –even if it is just for the titillation of the title.   I purchased a copy at the King’s Cross newsstand to peruse on the train to Edinburgh.

Inside, the editorial fashion layouts offered a lot of cheese for this mouse.   I was absolutely smitten with this knitted Chanel confection.  There is a revered mill in Scotland that produces cashmere sweaters for Chanel and Hermes.  Simply the best.  My guess is that the trim is made by Lesage, the venerable master french beading and embroidery house, and then married to the Scottish product.

I love the classic shape and the contrast trims of this cardigan.  The price? £2,770 or roughly $4,155 at today’s exchange rate.   How many will you snap up?
