Wrap yourself in the opulence of feathers and flair with Leonardo, a brioche knit shawl inspired by the regal beauty of a peacock’s display. Each medallion bursts forth like the open eye of a plume, rich with depth, texture, and color. The fluidity of brioche knitting breathes life into the design, creating a luxurious fabric that’s as warm as it is elegant.

Designed for knitters who crave rhythm, movement, and a touch of the exotic, this wrap is a statement piece—bold, intricate, and timeless. Whether draped over your shoulders at twilight or paired with your favorite coat, it invites admiration and tells a story of craft, grace, and wild inspiration.
