Sunny, yes: but is that any reason not to be wearing a cape? Clair The Cape Queen needs no downpour-induced excuse to get caped and on a bright sunny day her longer Rukka cape really looked the part as she swished through the streets of …

Looking back just a few weeks to that VERY wet day in Macclesfield it’s lucky Clair The Cape Queen was more than adequately prepared for the deluge to come. And rain it did, to paraphrase Sister Rosetta Tharpe. But the 1970s plastic cape did the …

Clair The Cape Queen’s been out on the roads of Mercia moving things and with the weather being uncertain was suitably caped (Rukka, no less) – just in case there was a downpour. We caught up with her between load-shifting and the results were, let’s …

What a contrast to that cape-right rainy day in Macclesfield, but while Congleton was bathed in sun that didn’t stop The Cape Queen getting, well, caped-up for some town-centre shopping. This time it was a short Rukka number that’s not been worn very much but …

That Macclesfield day more than summed up the usefulness of an old-school cape, whose rain shrugging-off prowess came to the fore as the skies opened up. And in the homely surrounds of Macclesfield, Clair The Cape Queen’s cape laughed off the rain as it fell …

A few days after The Cape Queen had the biblical-like dousing in Macclesfield she set off for Congleton, accompanied by much more friendly weather. The town’s filled with fine red-brick architecture and many buildings date back a few centuries – these made a top-class backdrop …

More Rukka goodness brought to you by The Cape Queen, who just can’t get enough of this 1970s cape she bought ages ago. It’s definitely a well-loved item but the Rukka quality shines through (no pun intended): it’s glossy dark brown colour is pleasingly different …
