• Product description

  “I designed this stole for someone who likes casual and playful design. Cuffs have been added to a knitted rectangle shawl. It sounds simple, but the rectangle’s balance is important.

  It looks like a cardigan when you put your hands through the cuffs. Then, you open your arms, and you look like a flying squirrel. You can also wear it around your neck as a big stole.”− Michiyo
