With two size options, small and large, Firefly captures the delicate charm of its namesake. Knit in soft and ariy Piper, the subtle sheen of the kerchief emulates how a real firefly illuminates the night with its gentle glow.

Both the kerchief and the insect are subtle yet captivating—small, lightweight, and perfect in their understated beauty.
