| Occupation | Broadcaster/hotelier/cashmere collector |
|---|---|
| Location | Roujan, Languedoc, France |
| Introduction | Cashmere sweaters and cardigans for sale. All extremely high quality. Some new, some previously owned, some worn only once on the catwalk or on a photo shoot. The Scottish side of my family comes from centuries of border-country Ballantyne cashmere-makers - I'm so grateful I've inherited their touchy-feely, woolly genes. |
