John Lewis creates ultimate autumn capsule collection
And it's donating 15% to Refuge for every item sold
By 
With autumn fast approaching, thoughts are turning to the items in our cold weather wardrobes that are in need of an update.
Luckily, John Lewis has done the hard work for us by curating an autumn capsule collection that's packed with hard-working, on-trend pieces that can be worn now and when the temperatures drop.
Its 'Style with Purpose' collection features autumn essentials, such as chunky knits, a sturdy but stylish backpack and a well-cut trench coat. Plus, the high street stalwart will donate 15% from every item sold to Refuge's vital domestic violence support work.
John Lewis says: "This is a celebration of individuality — a capsule collection hand-picked to inspire confidence and joy while supporting our philosophies: for quality over quantity, for less disposability, for clothes that give back.
"Fashion editor and author Erica Davies lends her years of experience in the fashion industry to edit and style this exclusive wardrobe of pieces to treasure now, and for years to come."
