Calla Lily is an elegant cabled wrap, inspired by Art Deco fashion, which flourished in the 1930s and earlier. In madcap comedies like Bringing Up Baby, elegant accessories reigned, whether the characters were larking it up on the golf course or traipsing around the countryside. Wear it draped over one shoulder Katharine Hepburn-style or clasped around the neck.
