I’ve seen, bought (and sold) a good number of Tootal scarves in my time, but these diamond pattern Tootal scarves are new to me. Presumably from the most recent range, the scarves are the new type of Tootal, which means a much thinner silk for construction (compared to the old […]

Armadillo scooterwear new range
We've just been sent this video featuring some of the new Armadillo scooterwear for autumn/winter 2011, which you might want to check out. It's not everything that's new (just a couple of items in truth) – there's some mod-friendly gear that's not in the video, we'll feature that as soon […]

Pretty Green tweed pea coat
