Insect-Inspired Scarves

'Wiggle Warmers' Feature Unique Designs Inspired by Caterpillars

— October 11, 2016 — Fashion
Called 'Wiggle Warmers,' these scarves feature vibrant and dynamic designs that,
despite their vivid colors and symmetrical patterns, are actually inspired by real insects.

The brand was launched after its designers noticed the eclectic patterns that can be seen on most caterpillars. As a result, Wiggle Warmers were designed to replicate those patterns in a way that is stylish and eye-catching. Each individual scarf is modeled after a caterpillar that can be seen in nature and the symmetry and bold patterns that are revealed translate well into clothing items.

The playful aesthetic of these scarves coupled with their natural inspiration make them stand out in a market that is overrun by inspirations that have remained relatively standard.
