At the threshold of autumn and winter, when the first snow falls into the cradle of the cold earth, the woods at the water’s edge blend into the lake. These mittens are inspired by the cold stillness of snowfall and vibrant leaves and the deep, dark, ever-changing waters of the lake. From above, the myriad habitats of woodland and lakeshore are transformed into colours bleeding into dark waters.

Designed in Icelandic wool to keep you warm in winter when the fullness of the night beckons you out to look over the water and see the world beyond — and within.

One size fits most.
