Cashmere V-Neck – Grape Royale

Grape Royale is a purple cashmere jumper for people who usually stick to neutrals. The violet is deep enough to behave almost like a dark basic, and in fine cashmere it takes on a soft, velvety glow, so it looks dressed up with black trousers and relaxed with jeans.

We designed the shape ourselves and have it knitted in Kathmandu from 100% cashmere in a 28-count, 2-ply yarn: fine and smooth, with enough body to keep you warm. A small Tibetan design is knitted into the ribbing at the cuffs and hem. We add a couple of centimetres to the body and sleeves compared with most V-necks, which gives a longer line. Tuck the front into wide-leg trousers, or wear it loose over a long skirt.

Buyers of Grape Royale talk most about colour, fit and warmth. Lydia found “The colour and fit are just perfect!”, Sally called it “Very warm and snuggly”, and Kathryn wears her jumpers “throughout the winter and often in the spring and autumn”. Another buyer sent it as a present, and it went down well with the recipient. Check the size guide before ordering; you can return it within 30 days of delivery.
