Marine Cape in Shetland Wool

Sometimes the simplest pieces make the biggest impact. The Marine Cape from Edinburgh's Bill Baber is exactly that, a beautifully considered piece that has a quiet way of transforming whatever you're wearing underneath it.

Crafted from 100% Scottish Shetland wool with its characteristic handle and natural bounce, this compact cape sits elegantly across the shoulders with an ease that feels effortless. At 65cm x 70cm (25.6" x 27.6") it's the most versatile piece in the Bill Baber collection, small enough to tuck into a bag, stylish enough to wear over almost anything.

Drape it over a simple top, layer it over a dress, or wear it over a coat for an unexpected touch of Scottish elegance. 

Think of it as the Scottish answer to the pashmina, and then some.

Handmade in Edinburgh by one of Scotland's most celebrated independent designers — this is a piece that will quietly become one of your favorites.

A wonderful gift for any woman who appreciates understated Scottish style.
