Laurel Garland

Have you achieved something amazing lately? Then show it off by wearing your own Laurel Garland scarf. The laurel crown or wreath is a symbol of victory, or as I like to see it, a sign of accomplishment. It represents hard work that pays off, dedication to a sport, or even growth in a craft or musical pursuit. The Laurel Garland scarf takes a bit of inspiration from Greek antiquity (see: Apollo and Daphne, the Olympic games, etc.), and loosely depicts the laurel branches and leaves through the use of simple and elegant texture. The scarf is also intended to be a unique, multi-season accessory with long, narrow strips of fabric at the end that can be tied and styled in a variety of ways. This is all about personal triumph – after all, we have each come a very long way!
