During a breezy walk through the Peak District with the Mind Over Mountains charity, Princess Kate donned a stylish yet practical outfit perfectly suited for the blustery Storm Chandra. Central to her look was a cosy cashmere snood from renowned Scottish brand Brora—an accessory that has also become a signature piece for TV presenter Claudia Winkleman on the hit show The Traitors.
Though their fashion styles differ, Kate Middleton and Claudia Winkleman share a taste for the exceptional warmth and elegance of Brora’s cashmere craftsmanship. The Princess of Wales wore a 2018 Cashmere Cable Snood design, a timeless piece that remains in production and is currently available in fresh colours such as conker brown and teal blue—now reduced from £159 to a more accessible £115.
Crafted from 100% Scottish cashmere, the snood offers unbeatable softness, breathability, and warmth without causing overheating. Its delicate cable knit pattern adds a classic touch emblematic of Kate’s refined style, marrying functionality with high-end fashion.

Fans of Claudia Winkleman will appreciate that Brora also supplies her with the Cashmere Fingerless Gloves, another staple seen throughout The Traitors series.
For shoppers seeking a quality snood without the premium price tag, brands like Jigsaw offer alternatives such as the Wool Cashmere Blend Rib Snood, currently discounted by 40% from £49 to £29. Loop’s Ribbed Cashmere Snood, marked down from £300 to £99, is a versatile layering option featuring a high neckline and wide panel for extra warmth. Meanwhile, LilySilk’s Cashmere Balaclava at £89 provides full coverage from crown to collar, ideal for extreme cold.
However, with endorsements from both the Princess of Wales and a beloved TV presenter, Brora’s Cashmere Cable Snood stands out as a chic and practical accessory worthy of your winter wardrobe.
