Ralph Lauren Collection Pre-Fall ‘17 Winsor Burgundy Wool-Cashmere Lambskin Cape

The air is crisp, the golden glow of autumn settles over the city like a well-aged Bordeaux. You step onto Fifth Avenue, a study in timeless elegance, draped in the Winsor Cape, an exquisite symphony of Italian wool, cashmere, and supple lambskin leather. Not just a cape. A statement, a legacy, an heirloom in the making. A deep burgundy hue, rich as a glass of Grand Cru, flows effortlessly over you, enveloping you in a warmth that whispers of fireside soirées in the English countryside and equestrian weekends in the Berkshires. The buttery cashmere-wool blend offers indulgent softness, while the lambskin-trimmed edges and equestrian-inspired buckle closure add an air of aristocratic refinement. A discreet right besom pocket—designed for essentials, perhaps a vintage lighter or the handwritten address of an intimate gathering—rests within its flawless drape. Minimalism, with a whisper of intrigue. No fuss—just the sheer power of exceptional tailoring. The way it moves, catching a gentle gust, reminds one of an Edwardian heroine stepping onto the Orient Express—a woman who writes her own stories rather than waiting for them to be written. Unlined for effortless draping, the cape exudes European craftsmanship, made in Italy with precision. Intended to brush just past the hip, it is equal parts mystery and authority—perfect for layering over silk blouses, structured trousers, or a form-fitting dress. Paris at dusk? Manhattan at dawn? Perfectly at home in both. Gently worn.
