Enigma II

Enigma II returns to the world of wartime espionage with a richer, more sumptuous wardrobe. Silk jacquards woven in Suffolk at one of Britain’s few remaining silk mills sit alongside plush velvets and Harris Tweed tartan, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides. Hooded cashmere capes lend drama to silhouettes inspired by the thirties and forties.

Named after women involved in breaking the Enigma code, the pieces carry something of their resourcefulness and independent spirit. Coded linings, unexpected zips and concealed openings continue the collection’s playful intrigue. Hidden pockets keep a lover’s photograph or a private treasure close to the body, giving each garment a secret life of its own.
