Muted, yet cheerful, colors alternate in charming stripes, complemented by twisted fringe for an added touch of elegance. The wrap’s generous size allows for versatile styling — whether casually draped over the shoulders or tied in a knot, it exudes comfort and coziness, akin to a big, warm hug on the chilliest of winter days.
