Rediscovering the Chelsea Boot

Like all good things in life, the Chelsea Boot in classic black, availabe now at A. Cheng for $115, only gets better with age. Made by MaraisUSA, it is the perfect transition footwear from summer to fall, and even into the winter.

Originally created for horseback riding, then developed into an all-purpose bootie for on-the-go, Victorian era women, and coming back en vogue during the 1960’s, the Chelsea Boot has been reinvented continuously to fit the times.

Today, the Chelsea Boot caters to an epoch where we cannot compromise function for style (or visa versa). The Chelsea is an elegant, ankle boot that can easily be dressed up or down. Stop into A.Cheng to try on a pair!

A Peek at More Cashmere:

"Fall" for Cashmere

This week marks the first official days of fall! We may be experiencing a bit of Indian summer, but the chilly nights insist that the change in season is truly upon us. It is time to fill our wardrobes with the woolen tights and cozy knits of autumn.

Although the age-old adage suggests that, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” I would have to argue that Cashmere, in fact, is what every woman genuinely needs. You’ll have to agree, this fall, our selection of buttery cashmere sweaters serve as the perfect cold-weather covering. Take a look:

This season, Alice Cheng brings back our popular Zip Hoodie, the "Stevie," updated this season to be even more essential, in 100% cashmere. The “Stevie” can be paired with a skirt and boots for a funky take on the fall cardigan, or with a fitted tee and jeans to add a touch of distinction to the everyday, on-the-go outfit. The “Stevie” is currently available at A.Cheng in a brilliant ‘eggplant,’ and soon to arrive in ‘moss’ and ‘charcoal.’

In addition, our collection of cashmere sweaters by Korean-born designer, Demy Lee, features a myriad different styles and shapes. However, the sizes are moving quickly! Made from all inner-Mongolian goats, these delicate sweaters in stripes and solids are too good to pass up. Visit the store to snag the last sizes in this fabulous cashmere line, or call to reserve!

Taking a spin on the traditional wool sweater, Julie Park has designed a sleek cashmere poncho for her label, JPark. With a dramatic boat-neck and button detailing down the back, this poncho is a beautiful piece that can be dressed up or down.

Stop into A.Cheng, today, to check out our stunning cashmere and other fall favorites. You don’t want to be left out in the cold when autumn finally hits!
