Cheshire Cat Shawl

Discover the enchanting tale of the Cheshire Cat, which first made its appearance in Francis Grose's *A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue* (1788) before being immortalized as a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*. The phrase "he grins like a Cheshire cat," originally meant to describe someone who showcases a broad, toothy grin, perfectly captures the whimsical essence of this magical feline.

The Cheshire Cat Shawl beautifully interprets this playful character through its design. The body of the shawl features delightful stripes reminiscent of the cat’s iconic fur, while its overall shape cleverly reflects the mischievous grin that has captivated readers for generations.
