Vesetto Wrap, English

43,00 DKK

The Vesetto Wrap is named after the tiniest little town, that we pass through going to our favorite pizzeria (Da’ Leo – you need to visit, if you’re ever in the Como region!). Clinging to a hilltop, overlooking the Lugano Lake, this small town has all the charm of Northern Italy, and none of the busy hustle.

 

The wrap is loose, simple and easy to wear. Use it over shorts and tops, with jeans and sneakers – or dress it up with a nice dress and high heels. This wrap will take you from day to night, from hiking and picnicking to dinner at a fancy restaurant.

 

It is inspired by the Japanese kimonos – a two-dimensional piece with a loose fit and relatively short, wide sleeves. The subtle textured stitch gives it interest and structure and is very easy to work.
