Autumn Spice is a unisex slouchy hat, with a vintage inspired chevron panel. Reminiscent of those magical fall trips to Grandma’s house. Apple sauce bubbling on the stove, butter tarts oozing in the oven, and pumpkin pies cooling on the counter. A nearby fire crackles cozily, offering promises of treats, knitting, cuddles and stories.
