Designed by Claudia Q

This sweater is inspired by the orange trees on my grandfather’s coffee farm. The trees, with their fragrant white blossoms and vibrant oranges, evoke memories of evenings spent with my grandfather, sharing stories under the tropical sky. The subtle sparkle of the beads represents the glowing oranges in the moonlight, making this piece a tribute to those cherished moments. - Claudia Q
