Arctic Air

Arctic Air is the second of the three Arctic Aura haps that I designed in 2015. It is the loftiest of all the pieces, and its colours are meant to bring Arctic breeze to your everyday life and make you feel refreshed every time you wrap yourself with this hap.

Other haps in the Arctic Aura set are Arctic Water and Arctic Land.
