YORKSHIRE POST - 25 May 2005

'Sheer Elegance - Sophia, Countess of Aboyne, has ridden the Silk Route on horseback, worked with street children in India and has now set up business selling one-off sari fabrics made into Western-style clothing'

'The latest is an internet-based business selling a collection of clothes in Western designs but made from silk or polysilk sari fabrics found at markets across India. They are stunning garments in jewel colours, embellished with gold or silver embroidery, with the odd splash of beading detail in other shades'

'The simple, elegant wraparound skirts layer gauzy, heavily embroidered chiffon over a more robust lining layer, and can travel easily from a more casual outing with polo-neck and boots to little top, strappy sandals and lots of baubles for a more dressy occasion'
