Lipscombe has explored the role of the cagoule in situations of protest and activity. Its quiet appeal highlighting the duality of feminism and femininity. This cagoule is lightweight and rainproof. It protects you against the elements, strengthening any wearer’s resolve against the wilds of nature or the conflicts of man. The cagoule also plays on the designer’s name, Lipscombe, and comes with a folding mirror and comb toolkit to keep the wearer’s appearance in check.
