Capes

capes are so gorgeous

...but i hope they don't become too mainstream. part of the reason i like them so much is because you don't see them everyday. it gives them a certain allure...

I know I love the cream one too Lena!

 

[pucci_mama]

ADORE the cream one!! That's exactly what I am looking for, only in black... why can't I find the 'perfect one' anywhere!??

 

[maraschin0]

THE CREAM one is absolutely gorgeous!! Is mint a Japanese designer?

 

[runner]

you're welcome Lena

maraschin0, I don't know well, sorry
but maybe it's not a Japanese label?
I'll check that later and report back.

I have a gorgeous black LV cape from FW05! It looks great with black trousers or jeans!

The longer built in cape (Softgrey came up with the term and I'm sticking with it) is on my wishlist, and the one by Mint, but that's the exception.

^^^ot, that Veronique B dress on the right will be sooood ifficult to wear....

 

[softgrey]

some very cute examples posted in this thread...
...
i'd pretty much wear all of them......
the belt detail is a nice variation...

i have one that i have been wearing for years...
so i don't think i will be buying one now that it is a trend...
just stick with what i've got...


would love to see a pic of the lv one diorella...

 

[ollsrayk]

Will post pics tomorrow softgrey! You'll love it! It is so versatile and can bring together the worst of outfits.

i have a long brown tweedy cape with a hood. it's lovely. i never wear it but i adore it. does that count? then i have one in black leather from the 70s. it is incredible with a hood, and a big chunky brass zipper. a bit of poncho to it. i adore it too. but hard to wear.

Love BOTH of the Veronique B outfits posted here... Gorgeous capes.....

 

[runner]

maraschin0, so it seems that mint was launched by the designer, Jodi Arnold in 1999.
maybe an American label

Where can I find a cape with ruffles or layers? I saw one tonight on a girl and it was so cute...and I didn't take a picture. :argh:
