The «Hooded Plaid»
It all began when I was still a child. From an early age I had a special fondness for woollen blankets of all kinds. We always took some along to our family picnics on Sundays, and I had a wonderful time using them to make tents and little houses. Then, when I grew sleepy, I could crawl into a protective woollen nest for a nap.
Then I grew up, and travelled a lot during my student days. I often caught a cold during my long train journeys to Vienna, and plane trips were just as bad. Over and over again I ended up in situations where I found myself longing for a multifunctional plaid. Something lightweight and warm. At my Yoga classes, messing about in boats, curled up on the sofa with a book, and on business trips, something was always missing. And then one day I was attending a Qi Gong workshop and had a brainwave, and the Hooded Plaid was born. Today the plaid is available in various styles, colours, materials, and sizes. It has become my constant companion. I never leave home without it. And who knows – perhaps, very soon, neither will you.
