The new Autumn '11 catalogue will soon be in your hands...

While most of you are probably thinking of summer sun, warm light evenings and more barbeques than you can possibly squeeze in, here at Celtic HQ we are in the throes of Winter! The monthly glossies are already writing about Christmas and we had our press day back in the middle of May so I for one am almost ready to don my dressing gown and slippers and curl up in front of a log fire (and with the ‘summer’ weather that we have had lately, I don’t think I would look much out of place.

With just under a month to go before the launch of our Autumn 2011 catalogue, I was very lucky to have the opportunity to sneak a peek at the finished product earlier this week and dare I say I think this could be our best yet! We are producing three different catalogues for the coming season with one being released as we head into the depths of winter and another strategically timed for Christmas!

As you can imagine, the contents of the Autumn catalogue are still very much a close-guarded secret and I wouldn’t wish to spoil the surprise for you of seeing the gorgeous garments on offer. With our clothing collection expanding year-upon-year, we will be offering our largest range of knitwear yet with over 40 gorgeous knits, many coming in various colours and new clothing sections as well. All will be revealed in due course! And to top it all off, the new products will be going live on our website even before the catalogue is launched so you really don’t have much longer to wait at all!

As an exclusive taster of what’s to come, just for you, our avid blog readers, for the first time I can reveal our front cover (drum roll please)…

So what do you think?

I must stress that apart from the Shortie Boots, the items featured in the image above are not available to buy just yet but rest assured that we will let you know the moment they are available! The beautiful knit pictured is our Slouchy Sunday Roll Neck made from a fine mix of merino and angora to make it unbelievably soft jumper. The Small Postman’s Bag is made from 100% sheepskin and I think it is likely to be as popular as our other across-the-body bags as it is the perfect accessory for any occasion. What a cosy looking-outfit!

With pieces like these just for starters, I’m sure you’ll agree that this catalogue is worth the wait. In the meantime, just to whet your appetite, here are some of the Cornish vistas captured during the photo-shoot…
