Johnstons of Elgin's autumn/winter 2019 collection
Johnstons of Elgin was founded in 1797 and is one of the last vertical mills in the UK still carrying out all the manufacturing processes – from raw cashmere and fine woollen fibres right through to the finished product. Yet, its designs are anything but dated.
Inspired by travel in the 1920s and 1930s, the autumn/winter 2019 collection gives timeless cashmere classics a revamp, with Scottish-made fabrics developed exclusively for the new range of tailored coats and separates.
Knitwear pieces such as chunky statement sweaters are made from the brand’s signature cashmere and new superfine merino, and scarves feature striking Art Deco-inspired patterns and bold colour block combinations.
