This wrap calls to mind luxury and decadence: the shine of silk and mohair are reminiscent of precious stones sparkling in a jewellery box. With two strands of lace-weight mohair–silk held together throughout, the Jewel Box Wrap has a lovely balance of loftiness and weight. Wear it draped around your shoulders or wrapped around your neck to keep you warm on the chilliest of days.
