Celtic Sheepskin on the new trends… and up first is Shearling!

I’ve already hinted that shearling is big this Autumn Winter and the glossy magazines have been out in force singing the praises of the glorious fabric that is sheepskin. This is of course GREAT news for Celtic Sheepskin fans because you can shop with the knowledge that no matter what sheepskin coat, hat, scarf etc you fall in love with, you’ll be bang on trend this season for wearing it!

The biggest named brand to encourage the use of sheepskin was Burberry Prorsum on the AW10 catwalks last February. The range encompassed many different styles of the Classic Flying Jacket, and there are few magazines that don’t feature an advertisement for their coats. Our Classic Flying Jacket hits the trend right on the head, and coming a close second is the Sheepskin Biker Jacket, both of which are available on our website.

The fashion week’s catwalks in February also saw a super collection from Marc Jacobs featuring sheepskin and fur trim coats, jackets and capes boasting big fluffy colours and cuffs. Putting this style against our own Celtic Sheepskin’s range, you’d be hard pushed to find the difference next to our Toscana Coats. The top two contenders I think are the Three-quarter Toscana Trim Coat and the Short Quilted Biker Jacket.

Chanel was one of the biggest designers to bring Faux Fur into the trends of Autumn Winter 2010. Of course at Celtic Sheepskin we do not work with fur instead we use sheepskin, which is the eco-friendly alternative as all sheepskins are a by-product of the meat industry. Chanel’s collection featured big fur boots and our sheepskin Mongolian and Toscana tipped alternatives make a great statement to rival these.

Alongside Chanel, Oscar De La Renta, John Galliano and Antonio Berardi also had big furry coats, gilets and jackets on the catwalks dubbed the “Shaggy” trend by Grazia in their magazine last week. Celtic’s examples of this style sit with the fabulous Reversible Gilet and Long Himalayan Gilet. These two designs are wonderfully adaptable and make great statement pieces without the cost of a full coat.
