The Montrealer was inspired by the city that has been my home for the last 7 years: Montreal. It reminds of a summer’s pink sunset in between the buildings and skyscrapers of the city. It is a simple top-down, hooded pullover that can be adapted in so many ways, so feel free to use your creativity to make it your own!
