I've known Holly Pressdee and her love of tweed for a while. But until very recently she'd kept quite about a new venture, Check Me Out, designing and selling luxury cashmere and merino scarves, made in Scotland. If you're looking for a present that will really attract interest, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than buy one of her beautiful scarves.

| The cashmere London check £430 |
 |
| The merino London check £210 |
The designs take inspiration from a special place or memory, here London, with colours of the London Underground being used.
As Holly pointed out to me, although she had women in mind when designing them, these scarves would suit anyone. Woven by one of my favourite manufacturers, Johnstons of Elgin, whose design , knitting and weaving skills are used by international household name fashion houses, this is knitwear of the highest pedigree. I'd love to give one this Christmas!
See Check Me Out. The scarves are also stocked at Dashing Tweeds, 26, Sackville Street, London, W1S 3HE (telephone +44 (0)20 7439 8633) where Holly is Studio Manager.
