Among vistas of the clear blue water of Lake Superior in northern Michigan, the ruins of copper mines still stand as a reminder of the natural copper deposits in the area. Copper Cove is an expression of home and history.

In the summer, I’m always craving an easy cardigan to keep off the chill of overzealous air conditioning. Copper Cove is an easy and beautiful layer for transitioning seasons and environments.
