mYak Tibetan Fiber | Pattern Good Vibrations Cowl

Good Vibrations Cowl

The chevron pattern of this cowl evokes the high mountain peaks of the Tibetan Plateau. The bold and bright colors of our Tibetan Cashmere are reminiscent of the colors of the lungta – little prayer flags you can find anywhere on the Plateau. Once the piece is joined together, it almost looks like a mandala , the spiritual and geometric symbol that is utilized to help people focus in on meditation and achieve a sense of oneness with the universe.
