SHE: I have been a migraine and asthma sufferer for many years and my doctor has advised me to wear a hat all year round to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. HE (and even his mum) thinks I'm a fashionista, not knowing that I'm abiding by the doc's words! And this begins my quest to find something that has to be simple, soft and chic - and Marianne Abelsson has the answers for me. I actually have the hat only but of course in different colors to match my overall outfit of the day but I'm showing the collection here!
Hailing from Sweden, Mariannes' Pleece Collection is made by a unique blend of 75% polyester and 25% viscose, that sets it apart from other fleece fabrics. Also, the pleating process gives the fleece extra volume and softness. The fabric retains its pleating after washing. Suitable for both men and women, for indoor and outdoor use alike, the Pleece Collection has turned into a modern classic. they have a scarf collection too! it is one of Design House Stockholm’s best selling products, sold in MoMA Store, New York, for 15 years. Prices vary depending on where/when you get it and the currency exchange but GBP50 and above. It's definitely worth the investment if you're going to wear it at least 50 times in winter months - in a year :)
