This stunning shawl is part of the exclusive collection Coast: A Celebration of Sea and Sky.

Introducing Wingu | meaning cloud in Swahili

On those enchanting days when clouds gracefully roll in from the sea, bringing cooler, damper air, you’ll find yourself reaching for Wingu—a beautifully designed shallow crescent shawl that envelops you in warmth and comfort. Crafted from the perfect blend of soft, warm wool and cozy cotton, Wingu showcases the best features of Mabel and Ivy’s Coast collection, promising to be your go-to accessory for early autumn.

With its easy-to-wear style and incredible versatility, this shallow, elongated crescent-shaped shawl is ideal for layering over your favorite outfits. Whether you're heading out for a brisk walk by the coast or enjoying a casual gathering with friends, Wingu is sure to slot seamlessly into your wardrobe, adding both style and warmth.

This shawl is a proud member of my Coast series, which also includes the lovely Pwani, a name that means coast in Swahili. Both designs are inspired by my deep-seated love for the coastal landscapes and the calming environment they provide.

The inspiration behind these shawls hails from a time when the ocean’s peaceful embrace called to my soul. The soothing sounds of gentle waves crashing against the shore and the wide expanse of sky overhead create a tranquil backdrop that invites contemplation and relaxation.

To me, the coast is a mesmerizing sanctuary—where the winds carry the invigorating scent of salty air, clearing the mind of clutter, while expansive vistas encourage your thoughts to drift freely. There's an unparalleled sense of comfort to be found in the beautiful intersection of land, sea, and sky, and Wingu captures that essence perfectly.
