Whether your burrowing down home or braving a brusque walk, the Hamlin Shop’s winter fashion range will keep you comfortable, warm and cosy. We asked the Hamlin Team to share their favourite Hamlin Shop products for when the mercury plummets.
Brave and Beautiful Wrap
The Brave and Beautiful Wraps are a testament to the strength and determination of the incredible fistula patients at Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia.

Use it as a throw to snuggle for nights in front of the fireplace or as a wrap to rug up in on chilly days. Purchase your Brave and Beautiful Wrap here.
