The Indira Mitts shine beautifully when either worn as a standalone set or as the perfect complement to the Indira shawl or cowl. Featuring lateral braids and the same unique double‑braided cable, simple lace, and fisherman’s rib as the shawl and cowl, these mitts are just as classy as they are warm and functional.
