The Calville shawl is a timeless shawl inspired by fruit laden apple trees hidden in forgotten castle ruins. A shawl to be worn as you collect baskets full of blossoms, sit to rest on a mossy stone, or bake cakes while dawn shines in your frosted kitchen window.

Calville Blanc d’Hiver apples are French dessert apples. They are said to have been grown in the gardens of Versailles by King Louis XIII as well as at Monticello by the American President Thomas Jefferson.
