It's that time of year again when we must finally succumb and cover up our summer tans. I have to admit, as a fan of layering, it's a time of year I really look forward to. Especially ever since Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience, those talented Scottish designers behind the award winning label Bebaroque, launched their elaboratly beautiful hosiery two years ago.
their new collection is full of wonderfully thick and silky soft tights illustrated with intricate patterns from the gold snakes of the Olga design to the tattooed, Russian lace of Gretel and the ethereal feathers of the Tawney design. I think it's possible to transform an entire wardrobe with a single pair of these tights. You could wear them with a simple dress, tailored shorts, flat brogues or skyscraper heels and I guarantee you will be stopped and asked 'where did you get those amazing tights?'
Another Scottish designer, Hilary Laing (a favourite of ours, see the Scarf Department for more of her designs) has launched a collection of hand printed tights.
The Scribble Collection is full of energy and expressive patterns that make for truly striking pins. As with Bebaroque's tights, Hilary's wares come in lovely packaging that is great to give as a gift as well as a treat for yourself.
