The Rivers Reign Collection is inspired by myths, legends, and lore of female water deities whose stories taught generations to respect the water.

The Rán’s Net sweater is based on Rán, an ancient Norse goddess of the sea who was known to cast out her net, ensnaring seafarers and dragging them to her realm on the ocean floor. The mother of nine daughters--including sea foam and waves--she has been portrayed as both a keeper of the dead and a personification of the dark and dangerous side of the sea.

This crop-top sweater features a dropped stitch pattern that opens like a net on the waves. Its boat neck, open stitchwork, and short sleeves make it the perfect sweater for spring and summer weather.
