Lola V-Neck Cardigan
The Lola V-neck cardigan is a contemporary knit designed with understated elegance and effortless wearability in mind. Combining soft structure with a relaxed silhouette, this piece offers a refined interpretation of a classic V-neck cardigan.
From the front, the cardigan features a deep V neckline with a subtle crossover front, creating a flattering shape that naturally elongates the neckline. A delicate metal fastening detail sits discreetly at the centre, holding the overlapping panels together while adding a subtle design accent that distinguishes the garment from traditional cardigans.
The neckline itself is finished with a smooth knit edge that frames the collarbone beautifully while maintaining the clean minimal aesthetic that defines Ochre knitwear.
Looking from the profile view, the cardigan reveals its softly tailored construction. The set-in sleeves follow the natural shoulder line, creating a balanced silhouette that drapes comfortably through the arm. The sleeves taper gently towards the wrist and finish with ribbed cuffs, adding subtle structure while maintaining a relaxed feel.
The hemline is completed with a fine ribbed waistband, allowing the cardigan to sit neatly at the hip while preserving the garment’s shape. The ribbed finish also adds visual balance to the deep neckline and crossover front.
Knitted in a 7gg / 3ply construction, the Lola cardigan has a slightly fuller texture that offers warmth and durability while maintaining the softness expected from a cashmere blend knit. The blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool provides warmth, breathability and durability, making the Lola cardigan a versatile knitwear piece that can be worn throughout the seasons.
Elegant yet relaxed, the Lola V-neck cardigan pairs effortlessly with tailored trousers, denim or skirts, making it a refined wardrobe staple for everyday luxury dressing.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool
Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.
100% Cashmere:
Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.
100% Lambs Wool:
Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.
Mixture:
When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.
Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.
