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 where I found myself looking for inspiration through nature, laughter and love whilst staying stylishly warm inside and outside the home.

All the smart-casual cashmere tops, skirts, sweatpants and accessories are carefully sourced from top quality, sustainably certified, Italian, Scottish and Mongolian manufacturers.

The look is streamlined, elegant and relaxed with multi-functional, innovative yet timeless designs in classic and rich seasonal colours. The outfits take you from day to evening to travelling in effortless style abroad.

This year I have added exquisitely soft, reversible Travel/Yoga Stoles and Scarves made by a B Corp Scottish cashmere manufacturer.

Discover also the endangered Wild Cat Scarf-Sarong Collection made in Como, Italy, using the wood-based specialty fibre, modal (@LenzingGroup) with cashmere yarn. £10 for each sale is donated to the Whitley Fund for Nature to support wildlife conservation.

Furthermore, I am delighted to announce that London clients may opt for a "Try Before You Buy at the basket level" service. By requesting this service at check-out, a dedicated Toshi assistant will arrive at a convenient time at your London address so you can check the designs fit before purchasing them. The pieces you wish to keep, you pay for before the assistant leaves. Please note, there is no charge for this service, even if you decide not to buy anything.

Keep safe and well.

I hope you enjoy wearing the new collections as much as I do.

Best wishes,

EmmaJane
