Text of press release: "EXCLUSIVE TO YOU IN YOUR CITYThe Highland Fling will never be the same . ... A cosmopolite by instinct and inclination, Bonnie Cashin, in collaboration with Philip Sills & Company has given Scotch tweed a Spanish accent for the American lassie.The black and brown Scotch plaid is of brushed mohair -- a truly luxuriant texture for the full-circled cape and long-sleeved bolero jacket. Both are completely traced with black leather. Blustery winds are no hazard to the cape, since even the inside seams are similarly taped with black leather, while the tiny stand-up collar is anchored with spaghetti-thin ties.The fully-rounded black leather skirt -- another Cashin signature -- may be worn with or without a matching waist-cincher, topped by a turtle-neck black cashmere pullover.No. 3501 - Cape- $185.No. 5483- Bolero $ 85.No. 2478- Leather Skirt $llO.No. 469 - Waist Cincher $ 30.No. 403 - Cashmere Sweater $ 35.
