Sarah's Silks Cape - Circus

The Circus Cape is a limited edition collaboration between Sarah's Silks and illustrator Phoebe Wahl. Her circus print covers the heavyweight silk, giving the cape a distinctive artwork that sets it apart from plain colour capes in a dress-up collection.

The Circus Cape measures 32 inches long, with an elastic band that stretches comfortably from 18 to 28 inches around the neck. It fits most children aged roughly 3 to 8, so it suits preschoolers through to the early primary years.

It is made with 100% heavyweight silk, listed at 8 momme, which gives it a soft feel with more body than a lightweight silk. The heavier weight helps the cape hang well and stand up to plenty of energetic dress-up play.

An elastic neckband pulls over the head and a shell button fastens it at the front. This keeps things simple for little ones, letting them robe up as a ringmaster or performer and take the cape off again by themselves.

The Circus print is a limited edition design featuring Phoebe Wahl's illustrations, so it is produced in a special run rather than as a permanent everyday colour. If the circus theme appeals to your child, it is worth grabbing while stock lasts.

Dress-up and dramatic play are the heart of it. The circus artwork invites ringmaster acts, acrobat shows and travelling performer stories, while the open-ended silk still lets children reinvent the cape as anything their imagination calls for that day.
