Abrazo Shawl
Abrazo (ah-brah-soh) is the word in Spanish for embrace or hug.
I wanted to design something that feels like a hug when you wear it, so I decided to name the shawl “Abrazo.” – My inspiration came from the warmth of the people from Latin America. We always hug to say hello and goodbye, and it is something that I believe we miss the most when we leave our countries.
