Description

This adorable cape is made from cuddle fleece – it’s like wearing a cuddle blanket! With the soft hood that has the option of adding bear ears, cat ears or horns, this cape is so cute on little ones. The design of the cape also works well with car seats, allowing restrains to sit beneath the cape, keeping the bulk out of the way for child’s comfort.

    For the kids? I kinda want one for me! The fabric is great, and the simple robe-like shape really shows it off. I think it’d be a great spring/fall jacket with an extra 2 or 3 buttons. But then again, I’m kinda strange :P
