Rundholz Spring Summer 2012 Mainline
The Corniche Winter Sale started on Christmas Eve and I have been delighted by the wonderful response from our wonderful customers from around the World. The biggest sellers have been Nigel Cabourn for men and Rundholz for women. Selling out very quickly. I have been asked why CDG Play and the Perfume are not in the sale, I can confirm that Comme des Garcons do not allow their permanent collections to be discounted. The Gail Berry Collection is also not in the sale as it was delivered late in the year. In the sales we have, Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Masnada, High, Nigel Cabourn, Comme des Garcons and many more! go to sale
We are delighted to now have the wonderful Archie Foal of London socks on the Corniche Website. At the moment we have the ladies and we hope to have the mens on in the next few days.
Archie Foal socks are just wonderful, made in the UK by master knitters with over over 150 years of experience the quality and styling have to be seen to be appreciated. Most of the sock styles are woven from Lamora, a beautiful, durable and balanced high twist mix of Italian Angora and Australian Super Fine Merino wool. The Angora is selected to be even finer than Cashmere, giving it a fantastic soft handle. This is supported by the strength and durability of the Merino wool. The softness of these socks will develop with wear and age.
Archie Foal socks are perfect for both the country and town, being wonderfully comfortable, stylish and fashionable. If you are looking for the ideal present, Archie Foal elevates giving socks as a gift to a different level, they arrive beautifully presented wrapped and tied in the Archie Foal Gift Box, and they are sure to be appreciated and treasured by any recipient.

The Comme des Garcons and Artek collaboration Standard Eau de Toilette
Phew! at last we received deliveries of the Comme des Garcons perfumes. We were starting to panic as we were fast running out of just about all of them. However, no problem now. A bit of bad news, the wonderful Garage fragrance from the Synthetic range Series 6 has been discontinued, I think we received the last supplies in our last order. This is a real shame as we sell it well and it is very popular with customers throughout the World. Supplies of No 3 have been delayed and will not be available now until sometime in 2012. Supplies of Play have also run out, but may be available in December, but do not hold your breath, at least we have some in stock at the moment.
We have introduced into our collection the collaboration with Artek, the cult Finnish design company founded by Alvar Aalto, The scent named Standard, an Eau de Toilette 100ml natural spray, is wonderful and whilst it has many of the Comme des Garcons Anti-Perfume characteristics, it is a wonderfully complex scent, fresh with distinctive edges and depths. Extremely wearable, highly recommended and is presented in a stylish, sharp lines, light grey rectangular bottle. To visit the Corniche Comme des Garcons Perfume Shop click here
The Autumn Winter collections from Carsten and Lenka Rundholz, Mainline, Dip and Black have proved once again to be creative, stylish and hugely wearable. The Mainline coats are a joy, many coming with Stieff Teddy Bear fur, using fantastic fabrics of the very finest quality. The Dip collection in kangaroo and coriander coloured fabrics also has examples of Stieff Teddy Bear fur and the coats are equally brilliant especially the heavy drills in cottons and wools. – go to Rundholz shop

Rundholz Autumn Winter 2011
We set out early to visit Nigel Cabourn to view the Spring Summer 2012 collection, travelling through the Scottish Borders and Northumberland, Nina, Zak the dog and me, heading for Nigel’s wonderful studio. This is one of the few trips that Nina and I do together to view collections, it is always such a nice day and Nigel always treats us to lunch, which is like icing on the cake.

We never feel like it is a chore visiting Nigel, rather the opposite, it is something we relish and this trip proved to be no different. The immediate impression, such an important one, ‘fantastic he’s done it again’ and at closer examination this proved to be more than true. The Spring Summer collection for 2012 is excellent and moves away to a certain degree from outerwear. Nigel and his team as always proved very welcoming and totally committed to the excellence of the clothing. We must offer our thanks to Drew for his undivided attention and assistance in choosing our clothing.
I completed a short video giving an impression of the studio and the collection and I hope you like it. As we headed back up to the frozen North we had nothing but good thoughts and memories of another wonderful visit to Nigel Cabourn. – go to shop
Once again Nigel Cabourn has excelled in his latest Autumn Winter Collection with some awesome additions to some of his classic Winter pieces. Once again the Everest Parka has by popular demand been included, it is more expensive this Winter than last Winter, but if it is any consolation (and I know it won’t be) it should have been this years price last year, it was just that everyone kept their prices down. New additions include the Coastal Commander Jacket a beautiful sheepskin and leather creation based on the USA naval commander jackets from the late 1940′s and 50′s when they patrolled the the Bering Straits, between Russia and Alaska. Made by the incomparable Aero leather for Nigel, this jacket is perfect!

Another introduction to the Nigel Cabourn Autumn Winter collection 2011 is the garments from the Cabourn/Eddie Bauer collaboration. We are stocking the Skyliner Jacket, which has to be the very best we have ever seen in terms of style and quality. The original Skyliner Jacket was developed by Eddie Bauer in the 1930′s (Eddie is now in his 90′s) and was the first padded jacket to be patented in the USA, a fantastic piece made in Canada for NIgel to the very highest standards. We are also doing the Canadian Vest in Tartan fabric. Again this item is superb and has to be seen to be truly appreciated.

A wonderful fake fur collared bomber style jacket and a soft, styled black leather jacket. Add to all that the renaissance style printed dresses and the Autumn Winter 2011 collection is on of the best. – go to shop
