Its been a cold couple of weeks but the little Gilinix shop is warm and cosy...having to keep the door closed isn't good but we do need to keep the warmth in! Simply Love it when friends come in for coffee....or just a chat, everyone is either on herbal tea or black coffee, promise I'll put a little fridge in soon! ...and lovely customers its a real treat meeting so many new people

We are bucking the trend slightly, not putting out a summer collection yet..brrr bit cold. There are wonderfully warm Harris Tweed coats,long jackets and apple green neat little jackets, all with matching skirts in stock, alongside our own bespoke collection....I am loving our new creations..working with each customer to produce their own individual combinations and colours... redcurrant tweed with bright pink and orange paisley, navy tweed with pale blue stirrup lining for the races and a new pale lilac dogtooth tweed.. lace, buttons and trim, my little office is looking like a design studio...I'm in heaven!!!

some new cashmere wrap colours have been delivered this week and gorgeous Stephanie is working on some new leather accessories with some super stylish tweed handbags

...and as the weather starts to improve, our fitted gilets will be perfect, new soft green, classic navy , rich browns with some new fabrics on the way
