Lali AW18

Kinnari McDevit Lali AW18

The collection was inspired by the concept of Hygge, or winter coziness. The joys of indoor play. Snow capped mountains in the distance, and woodland animals that seem to come out of the woods and into our imagination. Feeling that the forest is just a bit more magical with the sound of rustling leaves under foot and dusting of snow on top. Our AW2018 collection is filled with texture and warmth–from alpaca woolies to warm double layered cotton, and even a bit of faux fluff in the mix.
