Pride and Prejudice (Wordsworth Luxe Collection)
Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners.

With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Lambswool Scarf in Stewart Natural Dress Tartan
Weight: 136.08 g (4.8 oz) Dimensions: 200.7 x 30.5 cm (79 x 12 in)
Lambswool is the highest quality sheep’s wool. It’s gathered from a lamb’s first shearing, meaning the fibres are smoother, stronger and hold more elasticity than any other wool. The unique crimps in the individual strands generate air pockets that retain heat while repelling moisture, keeping you warm when you’re cool and cool when you’re warm. Along with being a naturally insulating, breathable and hypoallergenic textile, it’s beautifully soft. Doesn’t get much better than that. Designed in our Edinburgh Studio.
Fibre | Pure Lambswool
