I was born for gray mornings and long winters.
My blues hold you steady.

My softness wraps you gently.
My bright bloom reminds you that warmth still exists,
Even when the world feels cold.

Tropical Winter is a soft, sculptural wool hat designed to invite warmth, color, and light into cold days. The blue background is created from hand-dyed wool blended with white angora, giving the surface a cozy, fuzzy texture that feels gentle and insulating. Rising from the crown is a vibrant, hand-dyed merino flower. It is bold, playful, and full of movement.
