Saoirse (Sair-shuh), an Irish word meaning “freedom,” is the essence of this bordered rectangle that can be styled in myriad ways. A cord threaded through the center of the rectangle transforms the stole to a cardigan that can be worn with a draped lapel or a long hem. Create your own way of wearing this garment!
