Scottish heritage cashmere and knitwear company Johnstons of Elgin is creating its first women’s loungewear collection for AW16.

The range, made using luxury cashmere, includes wardrobe essentials such as leggings, hoody and jumpers, as well as a cashmere eye mask and cosy cashmere cable knit socks. Many of the pieces are knitted in one piece utilising Johnston of Elgin’s expertise in whole garment technology.

The loungewear collection will also mark the first Johnstons of Elgin range to be in 12 gauge. This means the pieces will showcase a finer knit than previous collections, which are in 8 gauge.

With prices ranging from £199 - £349, the luxury capsule will be available to buy from July at the label’s store on New Bond Street and online.

Johnstons of Elgin was established in 1797 as a mill on the banks of the River Lossie in Elgin, Scotland. As one of the UK’s top cashmere and woollen manufacturer, the 219-year old company employs over 1,000 people, including highly skilled textile craftsmen and women.
