Spotlight on the Islay Jacket

A new one in store and online, the Islay Jacket is designed to be worn over a striking tunic or dress. It’s a short bodied cardigan shape, with loose fitting sleeves and a very subtle Celtic feature down each shoulder and arm. We included a 3 banded knot work design or cable which runs from your shoulder down to each cuff, its a very delicate design hard to capture online.

Dariana Purple Islay Jacket

Knitted in soft merino wool, its has bags of character and texture. It’s not too heavy so you’ll easily be able to wear it in the Spring and Autumn. The bat wing arm shaping is flattering and comfortable for all sizes. We particularly love it over our beautiful lightweight Sally linen dresses or paired with one of our Islay Snoods.
