The dilemma for the colder months is a tricky one.

Should I wear gloves, therefore keeping my hands toasty....   or

Should I forgo the gloves so I can use my iPhone, iPad, iParachute or iPineapple?

Well, now some clever cookes at Etre have come up with the perfect compromise:  Etre Touchy and Etre Fivepoint.   Available in pure new wool or cashmere.

Etre Touchy are gloves with "phone fingers" so you can tap, scroll, slide and type away without freezing your fingies!

Etre Touchy - for taking piccies of fish on pebbles!

Index and thumb are left free so you be functional and warm at the same time.



Etre Fivepoint are gloves fitted with contactwoven® fingertips, so you don't need to take them off to use your mobile, tablet and so forth.




The special fingertips allow your touch to be registered on the most up-to-date devices.  So you can Tweet: "...waiting at station.  8 degrees and falling but hands staying toasty"

Kate Middleton wore a rather appropriate outdoorsy outfit while attending the 'Expanding Horizons' ARK charity event in Kent.

For some reason the Australian press decided to dub the outfit a 'faux pas'.  It even somehow managed to make the evening news - perhaps the commercial stations had run out of AFL football stories.

The idea that it is somehow inappropriate to wear a pair of Le Chameau wellies in the great outdoors is a bit silly.  If they are waterproof and lined with leather and extraordinarily well made, chances are you won't get your feet wet.  And if the Duchess of Cambridge can't wear designer camping gear, I don't know who can.  Anyway, I'm sure the kids didn't know or care what kind of brands she was wearing.

All in all, an effortless look.  All class.


How to get Kate Middleton's look:


  • Zara skinny jeans
  • Burberry shirt
  • Really Wild vest
  • Le Chameau wellingtons
