Star adds kudos to designer’s €2 cape

The sale of a charity shop cape made for Florence and the Machine by a young West Cork designer is set to attract further international interest.

The singer fell in love with the transformed tablecloth — which is going up for auction — and sported it at shows in LA and Australia.

Designer Alice Halliday took a punt on the plucky flame-haired star when she fashioned the crystal-encrusted cape from a €2 lace tablecloth.
