Few things are sweeter than a soft, cozy sweater that is effortless to wear. It’s exactly what we love about Galentine. The oversized fit and slouchy sleeves are perfect for cozying up on the sofa with your current WIP and a box of chocolates. Knit in Dona, it’s deliciously soft and squishy, and there are a variety of amazing, saturated colors to choose from. To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, we opted for the happy pink shade, Camellia. Which color will you choose?
