Humphrey
Let’s just pretend that this shawl is called Humphrey after Bogart because harks back to the glamour of the early Hollywood era, which it certainly does, not because of a stupid joke about camels with three humps that has stuck, okay?
Made in a simplified but traditional Faroese construction, this beautiful shawl has a simple lace border that continues into the middle panel. The design helps the shawl to sit better and slip less than a traditional triangular shape.
