Kapital’s Birds Eye Boa Scarf Blends Fleece With Japanese Tradition

You don’t have to be a monk to wear one of these Kapital Birds-Eye Boa Fleece KESA Scarves, you just gotta need a little extra warmth draped around your neck when it’s cold outside, unless you’re a practitioner of the Wimhof method. If being out in the cold without some warming accessories feels good, more power to you, this scarf is for the rest of us.

Taking inspiration from traditional Japanese robes, or Kesa, Kapital stays true to their roots with this intricately designed accessory. Made in Japan, inspired by traditional Japanese design, and probably mainly worn by Japanese people… it’s almost a show of restraint by Kapital not to draw upon the many other culture’s garment design that they are sometimes known for.

Well, the scarf design itself is very Kapital, so there is a bit of weirdness involved. But it wouldn’t be a Kapital piece without a little injection of the weird.

Available for $167 at Blue in Green.
