Rock Cress combines elegance with a touch of whimsy, worked in a lace-and-eyelet motif that creates an intricate, almost botanical texture. Its triangular shape begins from a single point and expands outward, letting the pattern unfold with graceful repetition. Draped loosely or wrapped snugly, it lends an air of sophistication while remaining easy to wear.
