Varde

The topic of the design is Danish North Sea coast. Harsh weather, sea salt air and sand beaches grown with grasses inspired me a lot. I wanted to create a shawl for some walks at the sea coast, that keeps you warm from the blowing North Sea wind. Or if you are not at the sea, reminds you of that beautiful and unique atmosphere.
