As summer approaches, so do the convertibles that have been kept under lock and key in the garage up till now.
Us ladies might be wary of them for one reason only, they give us a bad hair day, but that could all change thanks to the ‘Chlamys’ - the ultimate convertible-driving scarf created exclusively for premium Swedish car maker Saab by Osman Yousefzada, women everywhere can set off in their sexy convertibles, confident that they will arrive more Audrey Hepburn and less Bridget Jones.
Made from luxurious, fine gauge cashmere, the Chlamys has been created around an ancient Greek cloak design, used by soldiers for travelling and riding.
Updated by Osman Yousefzada for the 21st Century, the Chlamys provides the ultimate warmth and style for women travelling in convertible cars and can be worn in lots of different ways, a scarf, shawl or cardigan.. Two colour ways have been created for the Chlamys in a fusion blue and silver metallic.
Well the kind people at Saab sent me one as we embark upon the season of reviewing convertibles and whilst I do not quite look as glamorous as the picture,
I can honesty say how snug it is, how it keeps the chill away, as well as protecting my hair - nearly.
The Chlamys will be available from the Saab GB website: Saab
