The Story Behind The Find: It was a perfect September day. My husband, kids and I had
the pleasure of attending the Blenheim Palace Horse trials near Oxford,
England. I was so excited to see the animal athletes as they traveled over the
cross country course set on the grounds of Winston Churchill’s family home.
But, lets be honest, I was equally as excited for the “shopping village” they
had advertised. As usual, things don't always go as perfect as the
picture in my mind. One twin hurled in the cab on the way there, there
were hills to climb as we walked the course which caused the 5 year old to
whine, and it seemed to take forever for me to make it to the shopping village.
Once I finally made it there, dragging the twins along with me, I was horribly
disappointed. I didn’t need any more riding breeches (since I rarely ride
English anymore) and my horses sure didn’t need any more splint boots. THEN, I
came upon the most amazing booth with the most amazing designer…..who was also
serving champagne. The day was perfect after all!!!!
The Find: Lucy made a few capes for some friends and family for
Christmas 2012 and then BOOM, it exploded, everyone wanted one! Each cape is
hand made with the finest fabrics and fur (I only believe in real fur but if
you don’t, we have a few without fur), each buttonhole is hand stitched and each cape is completed using vintage buttons. EACH CAPE IS UNIQUE!!! They are so versatile, they can be worn with the buttons down the side, front, back, or unbuttoned and used as a wrap. The fur collar detaches so it can be worn with or without the collar making it perfect for almost every season. Every time I wear my cape, I have tons of compliments so I decided it was time to bring them across the pond….you will not find them anywhere else in the United States! I have seven available, all unique and
all equally as FAB. Happy Shopping!
