About Cashmere Collection

Dear E M M A J A N E K N I G H T customers,

It is a great pleasure to bring to you the 2021 women’s finest cashmere collection. During this time I found myself looking for inspiration through nature, laughter and love.

As a result I have streamlined the elegant, relaxed, stylish look by offering multi-functional, innovative designs in classic and rich seasonal colours. All the cashmere and unique trims are carefully sourced from top quality, sustainably certified, Italian and Mongolian suppliers.

An exciting addition to the collection is the stunning, sustainably sourced, SCARF-SARONG Collection made in Lake Como. I recently collaborated with Rose Corcoran, the talented wildlife artist, to digitally print her exquisite drawings of tigers, leopards and cheetahs on to 20% cashmere & biodegradable 80% modal fabric. The lustrous finish and lightweight drape of these 6 designs may be worn as beautiful scarves and eye-catching sarongs. A donation of £10 for each scarf-sarong sale is being given to The Whitley Fund for Nature to support wildlife conservation.

I am delighted to note how more and more customers are confidently buying online.

Keep safe and well. I hope you enjoy wearing the new collection as much as I do.

Best wishes,

EmmaJane
