Cape Me

Oh, how we’re crushing on Leslie Tessler‘s collection of luxuriously handcrafted capes. Made in Argentina, where the New York designer currently resides, each style is produced in extremely limited runs and made of Peruvian alpaca, Italian cashmere, and French woven silk. Between the orange herringbone, the bright teal, and classic ivory, it’s hard to pick just one of these classic staples to keep me caped throughout the season!

    Love capes- REALLY confused about the title of this article… If it’s a play off “Rape Me”- that’s definitely poor form. Again, love the capes!

    Love the capes. I went on to her site to buy one, but am slightly confused with the sizing… I only saw sizes 1 and 2 for the ones I liked… Is that Argentine sizing? Anyone know the conversion? Thanks!

  19. Wow – am so flattered to hear such fantastic feedback from ladies with such great style:) Honestly WTF has the best readers!! xx

    @Chocosoue – I live by my cross body bag, which fits perfectly under my cape. Another option is one of the amazing structured, ladylike handbags that are hot right now – would also work perfectly
    @Lily – I just emailed you back with sizing, let me know if you need anything else!
