Carnish Hat

The soft greys of winter beaches are reflected in this snuggly hat, with bands of simple lace and texture in two colours suggesting lines of foam along the shore. Both hat and the matching cowl are reversible, making them the easiest accessories to pull on for a quick walk on a wintery day. The blend of lambswool and alpaca is dreamily soft and packs a lot of warmth into fine fabric. No matter how wild the weather, Carnish will offer comfort.
