Collection: Capes & Cloaks

A cloak is mostly seen from behind. It spends the evening as a silhouette — hood up or down, hem at the calf or dragging on the floor — so hood shape, length and how it closes at the neck decide more than colour does.

This collection spans short shoulder capelets through to floor-length hooded cloaks. Black is the deepest range, with red, forest green and burgundy close behind; construction varies from plain gothic hoods to faux-fur collars and lace-up medieval fronts.

Three guides break the choice down along different lines: medieval and Renaissance cloaks by hood and closure, gothic cloaks by texture and hardware, and carnival cloaks by colour.
