Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with Johnstons of Elgin to create a line of fine cashmere goods. If you don’t know Johnstons, you should. They are one of the choice partners for Dame Westwood; manufacturing in Elgin, Scotland since 1797 (with a Royal Warrant to The Prince of Wales) as the only mill in Scotland to take cashmere from fibre to fabric. Johnstons of Elgin are experts in knitwear. This capsule collection features “styles which marry the designer’s singular vision with the quality and craftsmanship which only decades, and in some cases centuries, of history can bring to a product.” The collection includes the typical: scarves. But also an amazing pair of jogging bottoms and a sweet cardigan. The combo would make the perfect high end ‘tracksuit’ for home. All are handmade.
