St Bridget Hat and Cowl Set

The St Bridget hat and cowl set is inspired by the motif of a Brigid’s Cross. Traditionally woven from rushes, the cross has religious and folkloric connections with Irish and Celtic culture, with Brigid celebrated as a patron saint and goddess at Imbolc. Across belief systems, she is connected with safety and protection of the home, as well as agriculture and harvest. It seems suitable , then, that a St Bridget hat and cowl can keep you warm during a cold early spring, a blowy autumn, and a turn into winter.
