“October is the month of Painted Leaves. Their rich glow now flashes round the world.” - Henry David Thoreau

Every autumn, the world is treated to the incredible palette of the changing leaves. This shawl was inspired by the bursts of color surrounding us during this brief couple of weeks each year. Lacy leaves are paired with unique shaping to create a colorful asymmetric accessory that will last much longer than the falling leaves. Choose your colors based on any season you’d like… autumn is just the beginning.
