Victorian Faux Fur Cape Elegant, and glamorous. This cape also works as a jacket and poncho. and is made in Jiri Kalfar’s Portugal studio with faux fur.

Check Cape Checked and bright. Also from Jiri Kalfar and handmade with cashmere.

Produced responsibly in the U.K without child labor or exploitation. These Bo Carter capes are also made of faux fur and the lining is roll end fabric that would have been thrown out. Both options are stunning.
