The Yésica Collection is a full Fall / Winter handmade wardrobe, exploring the different weights and fibers of Manos del Uruguay yarns! Intended to be mixed and matched, they can be worn together to create different looks and play with the stunning color palette from Manos.

\\///////

Things that we love: reversible accessories! After all, those pieces are made to be casually thrown on to add that special detail. Wear it in many different ways, including sideways, over the shoulders, draped entirely at the front, or in any way that your imagination drives you! For the beautiful drape and durability, the Yésica Cowl is knitted with the beautiful and soft worsted weight Alegria Grande
