Trick or Treat!

Are you dressing up for a Halloween party this weekend? The historical celebration is thought to have originated with the Celtic festival Samhain in which people would wear costumes and light bonfires to ward off ghosts and ghouls. Nowadays it is better recognised as a time when children (and big kids!) carve pumpkins, dress up in scary costumes and go trick-or-treating.

Stepping into the supermarket this morning, I couldn’t help but smile at the Halloween themed goodies on offer. I noticed ‘decorate-your-own’ gingerbread witches, ‘slime’ favoured cookies and chocolate ghosts (perhaps I was in an aisle I shouldn’t have been in!). It was clear to see that while it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, Halloween is a significant date in the UK calendar.

So in true spirit of the occasion, the theme for today’s blog post is Trick or Treat but with a Celtic Sheepskin twist.

First for the trick; Rather than being a cheeky surprise, the trick of the two products in the image below is that they can both be reversed to give you two different garments for the price of one…

On the left is the Button Back Jumper which looks as gorgeous worn as a V-neck with a button front as it does worn how its name suggests with the buttons on the back.

The Reversible Cowl Dress has a thoughtfully designed buttoned strap which is easily removed so that the dress can be worn with a slash neck or a cowl neck; this is a brilliant day-to-night look – a good option for a forthcoming Christmas party maybe?

Now for the ‘treat’; two of our most luxurious products which would make much-appreciated gifts for a very special person in your life or even the most wonderful treat for yourself…

If you have seen a copy of our new Winter catalogue, you can’t have failed to notice the beautiful shot on the front cover of Amelie in our Hooded Toscana Coat (above left). This unequivocally stunning coat is available in a new shade of Snow-tipped Brown for this season and is sure to draw attention wherever you wear it.

Our Sheepskin Wrap Skirt (pictured above right) is surely a gift for the lady who has everything. The double buckle and close-cropped sheepskin create a truly flattering silhouette and make it a really special and unique piece. While this skirt is – in my opinion - most definitely a ‘treat’ at £365 it will be a much-worn and much-loved piece in any wardrobe for many years to come.

Witch’s hat is optional!
