This generous wrap evokes a sense of elegance and luxury. Knit using two strands of lace-weight silk mohair that shimmers like jewels, it makes for a bold accessory that offers the perfect mix of lightness and cozy warmth. Whether you wear it loosely over your shoulders or snug around your neck, it’s ideal for staying comfortable on cooler days.
