Inspired by the Cape Alava Loop trail in the Olympic National Park, which is two hikes in one, a stroll through the forest and a walk on the beach, this cozy capelet starts with a soft ring of cables nestled on your shoulders and then cascades to a soft open cape reminiscent of the moss that the Pacific Northwest is so famous for, with just a hint of sparkles, like the sun peeking through the branches of the forest.
