March’s vest honors the very first harvest of the season - maple sap runs through the veins of our sugar maples while snow still blankets the ground. This pattern is paired with a recipe for mini maple pavlovas.

The name Saccharum is derived from the latin name for the sugar maple tree. This is a fitted vest meant to be worn with as close to zero ease as possible. The ribbing at the back grows into maple trees at the shoulders and provides a touch of added shaping. Leaf trim borders the front and is used for the buttonholes as well.
