Struttura

A few things you should know about me that will, I think, help you understand why Struttura exists:

* In my day job, I'm a travel writer and editor.

* I live in Portland, Oregon, where the summers are pretty damned perfect. So I travel elsewhere in our winters.

* I have anxiety issues.

So, when I imagined the perfect wrap for winter travel, it needed a few specific characteristics:

* Extreme coziness: I run cold, and there’s nothing like bundling up in the garment equivalent of a hug to keep the chill at bay.

* Durability: I take care of my stuff, but I ask a lot of my travel gear and clothing. I don’t have time for delicate doodads when I’m traveling.

* Texture: Even when a trip is going smoothly, my anxiety is usually just itching for an excuse to rear its head. I find that having a great, squishy texture to fiddle with is super helpful for my brain. (The name “Struttura” is the Italian word for “texture,” though I also call this wrap a wearable “Fidget Spinner.”)
