The Golden Gate Bridge in San Franciso

The fog, the famous bridges, the never ending ebb and flow of the sea are all inspirations behind Kavulla's latest creation the Valtameri scarf. Valtameri is the Finnish word for Ocean. Kavulla used to live to in SF and would often visit the point where the ocean crashes against the rocky shoreline and the sea seemingly disappears into the great yonder.
