Thank you so much to all my kind, smart and wonderful testers. I appreciate each and everyone of you.

I was inspired by a warm childhood memory from when I first read “Little Women” by Louisa May
Alcott. Josephine, “Jo” the main character and her sweet yet strong personality is a memory that
triggered this creation. I hope when you wear this shawl around you, it makes you feel confident,
strong and beautiful; ready to conquer the world.

Josephine is a rectangular shaped wrap that you can wear in many different ways. You can wear it as a wrap, a cowl, a poncho and even as a type of cardi (the last one would be great with a belt )
