A stole is traditionally a lady's shawl, especially a formal shawl of expensive fabric used over a party dress or ballgown.

A stole is typically narrower than a shawl, and of simpler construction than a cape; being a length of a quality material, wrapped and carried about the shoulders or arms. Lighter materials such as silk and chiffon are simply finished, that is, cut, hemmed and bound; heavier materials such as fur and brocade are often lined as well.

1. By introducing new and exciting fabrics that reflect the wearers taste and style and

2. By delivering a sleeker version of the garment into its men's line.

Successfully reintroducing a classic garment with contemporary appeal.
