REINDEER MOSS TAM
Designed by Hélène Magnússon
Field Guide no. 26: mOSS
Specs & Details
Reindeer lichen—atop this quick hat. You’ll also see clever interpretations of witches’ ring and crowberries, rendered in the heathered
shades of Icelandic wool. It’s uncanny how natural it all looks, a tribute to Hélène’s sharp eye and feel for color.
