Introducing the Shawligan! What is a shawligan you ask? It is a simple wrap with sleeves and shawl style fronts – think cardigan in the back, but shawl in the front. The simple side-to-side construction is an easy fit and looks great on all sorts of body types. Combine two strands of four colors to create your own color transition or stay in a single color family for a striking monochromatic look.
