Cold Snap
Designed by Afifa Sayeed

Cold Snap pairs crisp diagonal ribbing with the cloud-soft luxury of baby alpaca and merino for a cowl that feels as cozy as it looks. Knit in Rico Design Madly in Love, this effortlessly wearable accessory drapes beautifully while adding rich texture and warmth to cold-weather layering. Equal parts polished and comforting, it’s the kind of knit you’ll reach for the moment the temperature drops.
