Couloir is inspired by the beauty of Arizona.
Arizona has an incredible beauty all its own, breathtaking sunsets over desert landscapes, winding rivers that carve beautiful twists and turns along the landscape. This unique land of vast open space and intricacies created by nature itself inspired this shawl, which represents the never-ending horizon, surrounded by rivers and plateaus.
