wHAT makes S’HUG® so special?

S’HUG® is our new exclusive accessory that takes inspiration from three wardrobe essentials—a cardigan, wrap and scarf and transforms them into an easy-to-wear, one-piece wonder that is timeless and versatile. We’ve added a touch of cashmere for unbelievable softness. What makes S’HUG® so unique is it designed with patented tunnel sleeves that prevent the wrap from slipping while keep you warm and stylish. S’HUG® comes in various fabrics, patterns and colors and is exclusively available at adriannapapell.com. We believe the S’HUG® is the versatile cardigan wrap you never knew you needed
