Clements Ribeiro at TK Maxx

I'm rarely brave TK Maxx, prefering a more laid-back charity shop or online hunt for bargains. But once in a while I brace myself, secure my blinkers in place and prepare to hone in on only the best designer bargains.


The trick is to focus until you find that first special item - a clue that there may be a collection of designer gems just waiting to be found. On this occasion, that initial hint was a pearl-detailed Clements Ribeiro grey cardigan, which lead me to many more cashmere pieces, including this tiger motif striped jumper and royal blue 1960s-style box cardigan.


At £64 and £50 respectively, it's this kind of designer bargain that affords TK Maxx its cult following.
