cottongrass
Modelled photos: I’m wearing size small (oversized) and theo is wearing size medium (fitting).
The cottongrass jumper is named after the beautiful and resilient arctic plant. In our arctic home where vegetation is limited, the arctic cotton grass stands out, and is easily the tallest plant.
In summer, we run through the arctic cotton grass fields, handpicking them while basking in the midnight sun. This jumper is a collection of our summer memories in north of 60°, and a reminder of the inevitable change of season.
This top-down jumper features a colourwork yoke and comes in seventeen inclusive sizes to fit all body types and shapes.
