"In an effort to be strategic about my fall buys so I don’t end up with a bursting closet and emaciated bank account, I like to visit the fall collections at Barneys a few times before making any big investments. Amidst a strong season of bold colors, techno fabrics and gorgeous patterns, it’s the muted yet lush corner of Pas de Calais knits that has given me pause since the line hit the Madison Avenue store a few weeks ago; specifically the cocoon coat. This wool blend boucle knit topper is designed in Northern France, produced in Japan, yet feels like a piece of heaven. Nothing fancy, but completely luxurious. Once the chill sets in, I don’t plan on taking it off. Until then, I highly suggest visiting Barneys, making a pile of Pas de Calais and giving it the ol’ cat jumping into a bean bag test. You’ll see why this collection is a must for anyone in cooler climates come October."
