  • These are some gorgeous pieces! I especially love that many of these items can also be transitioned into a spring, fall, or even summer wardrobe as well.

  • I love these pieces – but once again – my problem is being disabled and my age – 67. I am also a UK size 16 on the bottom and 18 on top. Please any advise you can give would be very much appreciated.

  • There are so many possible options with this collection and they are ageless and would suit all age groups with slight tweaks to the heel height etc. Warm, cosy but so stylish. Love these.
