The Effervescence set is a joyful riot of texture and color. Playful puff stitches make the shrug engaging to both make and wear. The voluminous sleeves bring the drama, while the cropped silhouette keeps it grounded in fun. Paired with the fitted cut of the tank top, this celebration of handcrafted charm and bold artistic energy will take you from brunch to a night out in a snap.
