Pronounced “moll-ay,” this lovely cowl highlights the unexpected architectural beauty of Madelinetosh Vintage. With clean, raised rows of eyelets, this pattern mimics the French parterre gardens designed by Claude Mollet in the 17th century. Unblocked, the cowl is reminiscent of garden hedges. With blocking, drape is increased and the “hedges” become flatter, worn garden paths, instead. Either way, you have a beautiful, wearable accessory that pairs well with jeans or, really, anything.

The smaller size is meant to be worn without doubling. The larger size can be worn long or doubled.
