It’s the best of two countries for the best look of the season…Scottish Kiltie skirt in Aran Isles patternings of Rygja. Styled with no-waist, it wraps up a truly new concept in old world charm. To top it off, a vest that’s news. Knit with popcorn stitch accents, it doesn’t match the skirt designs exactly, yet lines up just right.
