A Kapre scarf is worth handling before you believe the claims about it; the weight and softness genuinely speak for themselves. We stock Kapre luxury cashmere scarves at Shirley Allum in Shaftesbury, hand-embroidered and woven from Himalayan cashmere in rich, considered colourways.
The cashmere itself comes from Himalayan mountain goats grazing above 12,000 feet, hand-combed and sorted by length and colour before it is spun on traditional wheels and dyed. It is a slow process, and you can feel it in the finish.
Patterns run from Aztec and paisley to contemporary stripe and colour-block, in pure wool and wool-mix weights suited to everything from a light layer to a proper winter wrap.
A scarf like this earns its keep as the one accessory that lifts a plain coat or jumper instantly, and a good one lasts for years rather than one season.
Come and feel the difference at the Shaftesbury boutique, or browse the Kapre scarf collection online.
