The Joatinga Wrap was inspired by rugged cliffs and sandy beaches, where the ocean ends abruptly in high, rocky mountains. Beaches, sea, and friendships go hand in hand, from the crew’s synergy necessary to sail a boat, to sitting around a bonfire on a summer night, the moments shared close to the ocean make us remember we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.

In this design, the delicate lace changing organically into cables references the water, and the sudden ending with garter stripes, references the land.
