Discover the "La Mer Collection," featuring the beautifully handwoven stolas, Mitzi-Rose and Clara-Mar, designed and crafted in Lisbon, Portugal, by Artist and Fashion Designer Irina Kaldewey. These stolas are "twin sisters," each reflecting the duality of the sea—calm yet powerful, gentle yet vast.
 
Choose Your Variant: Mitzi-Rose or Clara-Mar
 
Mitzi-Rose Stola: Symbolizing the warm, rosy sunsets, this stola has rose wool yarn (Cobertor) woven in, traditionally used in Portuguese papa blankets, and the delicate textures of natural linen grown and spun in Sertã, Portugal. The white Brushed Baby Alpaca, sourced from a limited eco collection by Michell Alpaca in Peru, adds a soft and luxurious touch. The blue yarn, from Portuguese company Rosários 4, is a natural blend of 50% linen, 36% cotton, and 14% silk, enhancing the stola with a subtle sheen and cool tones. One part of the stola features the handspun linen, while the other showcases the Baby Brushed Alpaca. This design when worn, displays half in linen and half in Baby Brushed Alpaca at the back.
 
Clara-Mar Stola: Representing the serene, sandy beaches, Clara-Mar features the same luxurious Brushed Baby Alpaca, providing a soft and gentle texture reminiscent of tranquil shores. The stola is woven with the natural fiber blend from Rosários 4, combining linen, cotton, and silk for a refined, breezy feel. The earthy tones of linen complement the blue hues, making this stola a perfect embodiment of the calm and depth of the sea.
