    Introducing charcoal grey to our cashmere multi-way wrap range.

    Grey is the new black. It's so easy to wear and goes with lots of things in your wardrobe.

    Charcoal grey is just black without the edge, with a bit of softness.

     

    Grey outfit ideas for the cold weather:

    Wear our 2-ply cashmere charcoal grey wrap as a poncho for an instant easy cover up, as a chunky infinity snood/scarf or a reverse cardigan to keep you snuggly and warm.

    Grey chunky cable knit with black/grey/white stonewashed jeans/leggings.

    Grey knitted tunic dress with long black leather boots.

    Wear grey suede handbags and boots as accent accessories to your outfit, we have a chic dark grey pewter tassels Mimi & Thomas clutch bag that can be turned into a crossbody bag to finish your party look this winter.

     

    Grey outfits for the warm weather:

    Wear our Mimi & Thomas charcoal grey cashmere wrap as a pashmina shawl that hang over your shoulders or a button up vest to compliment your outfit.

    Colours that goes well with our charcoal grey cashmere poncho wrap are soft pink, lilac, coral, pastels, navy and neutrals like white, ivory and black.

    Dark grey featherweight silk blouse tucked in a crisp white pencil skirt or pair of neutral trousers for a smart office look.

    You might be suprised but charcoal grey also works brilliantly with fluorescent colours like neon yellow and pink for that little bit of pop and the grey helps to tone down the brightness.

    Black is starting to feel plain and out of touch.......

    and Im off to make myself a cup of hot chocolate. Speak soon.

    Love,

    Janet Carlisle

    Changra Pashmina Goats in Nepal

    Pashmina refers to a type of cashmere wool and textiles made from cashmere. The name comes from pashmineh, from the Persian meaning "made from wool". For hundreds of years, cashmere have been manufacturered in Kashmir and Nepal.

    Our cashmere are made with the finest grade of cashmere wool from the ultra soft undercoat of famous Changra goats in Nepal.

    The test for a quality pashmina is warmth and feel. Pashmina and Cashmere are derived from the "capra hircus" mountain goat. One distinct difference between Pashmina and generic Cashmere is the fibre diameter. Pashmina fibres are finer and thinner (11-14 microns) than generic cashmere fibre (15-19 microns),[8] and therefore, ideal for making light weight apparel like fine scarves. Today, however, the word "Pashmina" has been used too liberally and many scarves made from natural or synthetic fiber are sold as Pashmina creating confusion in the market.[citation needed]. The exorbitant price of a Pashmina shawl is due to the quantum of expert craftsmanship that goes into creating each shawl and the rarity of the Pashmina wool - the wool is used in an authentic Kashmiri Pashmina comes from the Changthangi breed of the capra hircus goat and this breed constitutes less than 0.1% of global Cashmere production.

    Cashmere Care

    Cashmere is a luxurious natural fibre made from the most delicate wool and with wear and care the softer it becomes.

    To maintain your garments the recommended care to keep your knitwear in the best condition is gentle hand wash in lukewarm water (30 degrees). Our cashmere is suitable for wool cycle machine wash at 30 degrees. Avoid harsh chemical and dry cleaning.

    Turn the knitwear inside out – squeezing the excess water gently, do not rub the garment. Dry flat.

    Always read the care label.

    Green Scallop Edge Tote Handbag

    I love a good classic bag, so I am excited to share with you the launch of our Mimi & Thomas tote bag.

    For everyday use, nothing beats a basic tote. You can use it for work or for play. A basic tote can literally take you anywhere. Now you may be thinking to yourself that basic totes are a little boring. Well, sometimes they can be. That is why I like it when they have some minor details that bring a little interest to the playing field. That is exactly what we add, a bit of girly fun with scallop edge and making it with the dual face contrasting cross hatched synthetic leather material that is both durable and waterproof. Introducing the Mimi & Thomas scalloped tote bag!

    What isn’t there to love about this tote? It is practical, elegant yet whimsy, comes in 4 great versatile colours and durable. It even has little feet to protect the bottom. It features a hooped hanging bag charm and also a detachable linked flat pouch large enough to store your Iphone 6 and small items.

    This large tote has a soft hand feel, it has got a main compartment with bridge magnetic closure. It comes with two flat shoulder handles and can be worn over the shoulder or in the nook of the arm, ideal for the grab and go lifestyle!

    This tote is perfect for just about any occasion. It is roomy enough for work, yet not too serious for more casual affairs or take it to the beach with you!

    Love,

    Janet Carlisle
