“This understated design was inspired by seaside walks, and combines the hypnotic effect of calm waters with the relaxed Brooklyn Tweed aesthetic. It’s named after Sandycove, a historic area south of Dublin with a beach, a tower, and views of the bay. It is perfect as a light shawl on summer evenings or large luxurious scarf in cooler weather.” − Kieran Foley
