The Kira Slipover is thoughtfully crafted to be worn with either 4 inches or 10 cm of positive ease, ensuring comfort and style with every wear.

The design of the Kira Slipover is inspired by a cherished Christmas ornament that was gifted to me during a festive holiday dinner. As a child, I was captivated by an antique Christmas ornament that evoked images of Eastern Europe, leading me to imagine it was sourced from Russia. The name "Kira" is of Russian origin and translates to "queen," reflecting the garment's regal charm. This slipover captures the essence of that Christmas ornament, showcasing intricate colorwork and a festive spirit reminiscent of a joyful Christmas feast with family and friends.

Perfect for cozy winter gatherings or simply lounging at home, the Kira Slipover combines traditional motifs with contemporary style.
