The Cashmere Cropped Cardigan Does It Again!

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Working at Brora head office you’ll often find that the usual topic of conversation revolves around what was on the telly the night before, as well as our favourite shows. One of which is the hard-hitting reality show “The Apprentice” on BBC1.

Lord Sugar

Last week on follow-on show “The Apprentice: You’re fired” a number of us at the office were delighted to see noted British interior designer Kelly Hoppen on the panel wearing our immensely popular cashmere cropped cardigan in Stone.

Cashmere Cropped Cardigan

Our cropped cardigan can be worn with anything and that is the very reason why women love to add the piece to their wardrobes. Its versatility is the very reason why fierce foodie Nigella Lawson has one in every colour.

The Apprentice is on tonight on BBC1 at 9pm where the budding contestants are set with the challenge producing an innovative fitness routine/technique to sell to the public. We can’t wait to see how they get on!

Spring Cashmere Cardigans

The new April edition of Covent Garden Journal pays homage to the decadent

1950′s era in Brora cashmere.

Spring Bright Pieces

Cashmere Fitted Round Neck Cardigan – £219

This is a signature Brora piece and an everlasting favourite with all our customers. We ‘ve responded to your demands with this fitted cardigan; an adaptation of our immensely popular classic v neck one, nipping in at the right places and flattering every figure. Apart from the fact that the item is genuinely soft-to-the-touch and so delicate against your skin, in this gorgeous lime green it’s also too irresistible not to get noticed; a notion that is clearly shared by the fashion industry.

Colour blocking fashion week trends
Colour on the catwalk bold colours for this season

Internationally, fashion week saw an abundance of colour cascading down the runway in neon shades of coral and yellow, blue and pink pops, along with the reds and oranges that also splashed across the catwalk. Colour-blocking is still a trend of the moment, but none more current than the deliciously retro palette of green; emerald, lime, jade and citrine were amongst the must colours to inject into your ensemble.

Cashmere Vintage Lace Knit Cardigan – £269 Cashmere Cropped V Neck Cardigan – £209

Whether you’re dressing for evening or day wear the simplest way to introduce a bit of intensity into you wardrobe is with a cardigan or jumper. Our unique blend of lime green isn’t too over-bearing or stark, it has been mixed to complement your most basic of colours like black, as well as to suit other brights like rhubarb in our Retro style story and not have you looking out of place.

Look lovely in lime the Brora way!

Mohair in the Press

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

The moment our funky super soft stripy mohair jersey hit the shelves this season it began to cause a stir. The tom boy look is big in the fashion magazines for winter, and both Grazia and Elle have been quick to jump on Brora’s brilliant affordable take on the look.

Stripy Jumper Mohair Sweater

In glossy London magazines The Grove and the Marylebone Journal, up pops our mohair jersey again, looking completely different and accentuating its versatility as well as its cute factor. We love the Parisian Left Bank take on our stripes.

Back at Brora HQ the debate rages over whether we love the cobalt or henna version most, but the easy answer is BOTH. Order yours fast and sink into stripy softness. Remember, the jersey is the most talked about fashion piece of the season, and mohair mania is riding high.
