When you think of Daniel Craig’s Bond, a fair percentage of you are going to have the mental image of 007 emerging from the sea in his blue speedo’s.
Right, I have your attention! It’s not the speedo’s that are of interest right now, but the fine wool suit Daniel Craig wore in Quantum of Solace.

It’s fair to say that there is a little more than “a nip in the air” right now. With such low temperatures, I thought it a great opportunity to showcase the wonderful luxury cashmere scarf brand , Ahilya.
Ahilya derives its name from an Indian Queen. Ahilya, the brand, is inspired by Kashmir traditions and culture. Bespoke, limited edition collections that become a staple piece for every wardrobe.
These scarves are a fusion of ancient artisan traditions with contemporary technical brilliance, using the craft of the world’s finest cashmere weavers to deliver a range of ultra fine textured cashmere with a fresh bold London aesthetic.
Ahilya won the Ethical Fashion Forum’s Innovation Award in 2010. All the scarves are hand made using the finest materials and using traditions which support the environment.
In addition to staple favourites in shades of neutral tones, Ahilya collaborates with different artists each season, most recently emerging artists Claire Fanjul and Lela Shields, to create beautiful and unique silk screen prints on luxurious, hand woven cashmere.
Ahilya has just launched the e-commerce website, so now you can browse and purchase the latest scarves from the comfort of your home and have them wrapped beautifully and delivered straight to your door.
Ahilya offers a bespoke service in some styles, so you can choose a colour of your choice to make that cashmire scarf extra special.
