The newest act of finery delivers in cashmere

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The latest offering from the Balmoral’s Scone & Crombie is a gift to the senses: a cashmere butler service where guests are treated to a shopping experience tailor-made to their delight. Cashmere, made from the goat’s natural fibres, possesses the gentle feeling of an embrace; its rarity and benefits make it one of the most luxurious materials in the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Presiding over Balmoral’s newest service is Hawico’s Derek Umpherston, who carried two decades of cashmere expertise under his belt. Guests are able to select their desired goods matched with the best colours of the season, thanks to Umpherston’s bespoke ‘paint box’ which highlights the most popular shades.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
