Tico

An elegant shawl for chic geeks
Resilient yet vulnerable, witty but warm, kick-ass and compassionate, Rose Tico embodies all the traits that make her one of my heroes in the Star Wars universe and the inspiration for this shawl.

Knit sideways from end-to-end in luxurious soft cashmere, with many hidden references to Tico and her universe, this beautiful shawl is perfect for any chic geek!
