A Scarf Inspired by Nana's Hugs:

My Nana was the warmest, most loving person I knew. Going to Nana's house was always a special occasion. I remember sinking into her hugs, feeling completely safe and loved. I could have stayed in those hugs forever! This scarf is my attempt to capture that feeling – the warmth, the comfort, the love – and share it with you. I hope that when you wear it, you feel a little bit of Nana's hug wrapped around you.
