Wallace Sewell Scarf £115

All of the scarves and wraps here are from Wallace Sewell. No two things are the same, all are finely nuanced and there is not an item of clothing in the world that would argue with their spectrum of colours and the integrity of the yarn used. I couldn’t feel the scarf but I could feel the warmth they provided. Light and lovely, not neck scratchy itchy.
