Granada
Designed by Claudia Q
Granada, the city of dreams, was a cherished memory for my grandmother, filled with its traditions, religious rites, foods, colours, flowers, dances and trees. Her parents had come from a small town nearby and visits to Granada was always a special occasion. This sweater cherishes the city’s soft terracotta colours while the wide sleeves evoke the customs and traditions that were so important in my childhood home. - Claudia
