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 …

Just how wet could it be as The Cape Queen headed into Macclesfield for a shoot? With the sky grey as possible – and dark too – it was as if the town had engineered a welcome custom-made for The Cape Queen. Macclesfield is great …

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 …
