NEW LABEL YOU’LL LOVE
IF YOU haven’t yet been tempted to give wild swimming a go, new label Cape Cove’s stylish reinvention of the dry robe — the snug coat (£299) — might well convince you. It’s not just that it’s fleecelined, sustainable and roomy, it’s that it comes in fashionable shades such as blush pink and khaki and animal print. The approach is typical of the feelgood ‘shorewear’
brand, launched last month by former John Lewis head of buying Jo Bennett, John Lewis buyer Claire Surplice and retail specialist Suzannah Hatch. As well as post-swim wraps, check out the knitwear in super-soft Italian yarn that you don’t need to be anywhere near a beach to wear. Available at cape-cove.com and at johnlewis.com.
