Wingu

This shawl is from the collection Coast: A Celebration of Sea and Sky.

Wingu | cloud in Swahili

For days when the clouds roll in from the sea, bringing with them cooler, damper air and the need for something warmer to envelop yourself in. Wingu is a shallow crescent shawl that brings out the best in Mabel and Ivy Coast: the magical combination of soft warm wool and a delightful softness from the cotton.

Easy to wear and incredibly versatile, this shallow, elongated crescent shape will slot right into your early autumn wardrobe.

This shawl is part of my Coast series, also includes  Pwani (meaning coast in Swahili).

These shawls come from a time when I craved the peace of the ocean, the soothing sounds of the waves and the wide expanse of sky that reaches out to embrace you as you gaze out to sea.

I find the coast a mesmerising place. With winds blowing the scent of salty air clearing the mind and vistas wide enough to let your thoughts wander, there is a sense of comfort in the meeting of land, sea and sky.
