South Coast Cowl

Reynisfjara, located on the south coast, is by far one of the most famous beaches in all of Iceland. Not far from the town of Vik, you’ll find black volcanic sand, rock formations, dramatic waves, and striking basalt columns at this moody and atmospheric beach. The cowl is inspired by this very place and features ribbing that mimics the basalt columns of the Gardar cliff that overlooks the shore. Between the ribbing is a grainy stitch pattern that is reminiscent of the black sand and pebbles at the beach. It is generously sized and drapey, yet warm – perfect, in fact, for a trip to the south coast.
