Modern is embracing vintage in this elegant and classy triangular shawl! Midnight Glam offers a contemporary take on Shetland lace, a beautiful union of timeless lace and simple garter, merging into an exquisite reversible piece.

Suitable for casual wear or evening galas, Midnight Glam is the best of the both worlds! The shawl is reversible, there is no patterning on the WS. In combination of generous size and buttery soft lightweight fabric, you will be able to style this piece in many ways, spread up or bunched together.

Designed in loving memory of my dear friend Elena Nodel.
