NorSari Has You Covered: Gwen Daniels
Minnesotans have always been masters at innovating around our environment. When winter hits hard, we don't just survive - we get creative. We gave the world the walk behind snowblower, invented the first indoor shopping mall, and created miles of skyways to keep our cities connected when temperatures plummet.
Today, we are adding another chapter to Minnesota's legacy of winter innovation by welcoming Gwen Daniels, creator of the NorSari. Like many great Minnesota inventions, the NorSari was born from that classic combination of necessity and creativity - her innovation helps people embrace outdoor living.
NorSari was designed as 'The Wearable Blanket', but it works just as well as a fashionable and functional blanket or throw. Stay warm, stay dry, stay cozy and be stylish. Indoors or outdoors. NorSari has you covered.
Whether you're walking the dog, sitting in the bleachers watching an event, working at your desk, kicking back at the campfire, or lounging at home, NorSari will keep you warm and cozy. We here at We Do This For Fun call NorSari “hygge-wear”- comfort, cozy, contentment.
