Step inside the serene new storefront of Fanny Bolen Interiors and you’ll discover a space where beauty lingers in every detail. Known for their intuitive approach to elegant living, Fanny Bolen and Bebe MacKellar have created a shop that feels less like retail and more like an invitation to dwell. Amidst curated books, sculptural vessels, and artisanal accents, one standout piece speaks directly to the senses: the Alicia Adams reversible alpaca throw.

Prized for its whisper-soft texture and refined palette, this luxurious throw is as practical as it is poetic, whether draped over a linen settee or wrapped around your shoulders. It captures the essence of comfort without sacrificing sophistication. With its rich craftsmanship and timeless appeal, the Alicia Adams alpaca throw elevates not only the room, but the moment itself. Perfectly suited to the Bolen aesthetic, it reminds us that great design begins with how a space makes us feel.In a moment of quiet diplomacy dressed in refinement, First Lady Michelle Obama honored Sophie Grégoire Trudeau with a custom alpaca cape by Alicia Adams Alpaca. The gift, tender in gesture and impeccable in craftsmanship, was embroidered with Sophie’s initials and wrapped in the warmth of rare Suri alpaca fiber.

This exchange, though rooted in protocol, echoed the intimacy of a shared aesthetic between two modern women who understand the power of elegance. Alicia Adams Alpaca, known for its ethically sourced and exquisitely woven textiles, delivers a softness likened to cashmere yet set apart by its subtle sheen and remarkable durability. The brand has long held its place in the closets of style icons, Blake Lively among them, with its Multi Band Throw Cape becoming a collector’s favorite. Here, the alpaca cape becomes more than a garment. It is an emblem of grace, of considered living, and of a friendship clothed in luxury.
