Lola V-Neck Cardigan – Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Lola V-neck cardigan is a refined knitwear piece designed with understated elegance, softness and everyday wearability in mind. Crafted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cardigan combines warmth, breathability and structure in a timeless silhouette.

With its deep V neckline, relaxed shape and distinctive crossover front, Lola offers a modern interpretation of the classic V-neck cardigan. Soft enough for comfort, structured enough for regular wear, and elegant enough for both casual and polished styling, it is designed to become a versatile wardrobe staple.

Why This V-Neck Cardigan Stands Out

  • Soft and warm 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • 7gg / 3ply knit construction for warmth and structure
  • Elegant deep V neckline for a flattering shape
  • Distinctive crossover front with subtle metal fastening
  • Relaxed silhouette for comfortable everyday wear
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a refined finish
  • Designed as a versatile luxury layering piece

The Lola V-neck cardigan is designed with a deep neckline that naturally elongates the upper body and frames the collarbone. The crossover front gives the cardigan its modern character, creating a soft overlapping shape that feels elegant without looking formal.

A delicate metal fastening detail sits discreetly at the centre, holding the front panels together while adding a subtle design accent. The set-in sleeves follow the natural shoulder line, giving the cardigan a balanced fit through the upper body, while the relaxed shape allows it to drape comfortably.

Finished with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, Lola sits neatly at the hip and keeps its shape beautifully. The overall effect is relaxed, refined and easy to style.

Knitted in a 7gg / 3ply construction, Lola has a slightly fuller texture than a fine lightweight knit. This gives the cardigan warmth, softness and gentle structure while keeping it comfortable for layering.

The 30% cashmere content gives the knit a soft and luxurious hand feel, while the 70% lambswool adds durability, insulation and shape retention. This makes Lola a practical choice for those who want a V-neck cardigan that feels premium but can still be worn often.

A 100% cashmere cardigan is exceptionally soft, but it can be more delicate for everyday wear. A cashmere and lambswool blend offers a more balanced option, combining softness with strength and structure.

The cashmere adds comfort and warmth, while the lambswool helps the cardigan retain its shape over time. This makes the Lola V-neck cardigan ideal for regular styling across the seasons.

This V-neck cardigan is designed for those who appreciate relaxed luxury, clean lines and timeless knitwear. It is ideal if you want a cardigan that feels soft and comfortable but still looks polished.

Lola works beautifully over a camisole, layered with a fine roll neck, or styled with a simple T-shirt. Wear it with tailored trousers for a refined look, with denim for everyday ease, or over a dress or skirt for softer styling.

To keep your cashmere blend jumper looking beautiful, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve shape

Is the Lola cardigan a relaxed fit?

Yes. The Lola V-neck cardigan is designed with a relaxed yet refined silhouette. It drapes comfortably through the body while keeping a neat shape at the hem.

What is the Lola V-neck cardigan made from?

Lola is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This gives the cardigan warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this V-neck cardigan suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Lola soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

What makes this V-neck cardigan different from a classic cardigan?

Lola features a crossover front and subtle metal fastening detail, giving it a more modern and distinctive look than a traditional button-front cardigan.

Is the Lola V-neck cardigan warm?

Yes. The 7gg / 3ply knit construction gives the cardigan a fuller texture, making it warm while still comfortable for layering.

How should I style a V-neck cardigan?

A V-neck cardigan can be styled over a camisole, fine roll neck or simple T-shirt. Lola pairs beautifully with denim, tailored trousers, dresses and skirts.

Will the cardigan keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the cardigan retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Is this cardigan good for layering?

Yes. The relaxed fit, deep V neckline and hip-length shape make Lola an excellent layering piece across the seasons.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Wrap Tie Knit Top – Cashmere Blend Wrap Knitwear

The wrap tie knit top is made for days when you want knitwear to feel soft, feminine and quietly polished. With its crossover front, adjustable side tie and flattering V neckline, it brings shape and movement to a classic cashmere blend knit.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere wrap knit top feels warm, breathable and beautifully soft without being heavy. The short sleeves give it a modern, easy silhouette, while the tie detail lets you wear it closer to the body or slightly relaxed.

This is a piece that works beautifully with high-waisted trousers, denim, skirts or a simple vest underneath. It has the comfort of knitwear, but the wrap shape gives it a more styled and elegant finish.

Why This Wrap Tie Knit Top Stands Out

The wrap tie knit top is special because it gives softness and shape at the same time. Unlike a plain jumper, the crossover front creates a more feminine line, while the tie detail allows you to adjust the fit depending on how you want to wear it.

It is light enough to layer, warm enough for cooler days and polished enough to wear beyond casual dressing. The short sleeves keep the piece fresh and modern, making it a useful knit for spring, autumn and indoor winter layering.

This tie knit top is designed with a wrap front that crosses softly through the body, creating a natural V neckline. The side tie can be fastened neatly for a more defined shape or left a little looser for a relaxed drape.

The sleeves are short and easy, giving the top a lighter feel than a traditional jumper. The length sits around the hip, which makes it easy to pair with high-rise trousers, jeans or skirts without adding bulk.

The overall shape is simple but expressive. It feels feminine without being fussy, and elegant without looking too dressed up.

This cashmere blend wrap knit is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives softness and a luxurious hand feel, while the lambswool helps the garment keep its shape and adds natural warmth.

The 8gg / 2ply knit construction gives the top a light, flexible feel. It is not chunky or heavy, but it still has enough warmth to feel cosy. This makes it an easy piece to wear indoors, under coats or as a soft top layer in milder weather.

A cashmere wrap knit top is a lovely alternative to both a jumper and a cardigan. It gives you the comfort of soft knitwear, but the wrap shape makes the outfit feel more considered.

The V neckline opens the upper body, the tie detail shapes the waist, and the soft knit keeps the piece comfortable. It is ideal when you want something easy to wear but more interesting than a plain knit.

This wrap knit top is perfect for someone who loves natural fibres but wants a more shaped silhouette. It suits relaxed, elegant wardrobes and works well for both everyday wear and smarter styling.

Wear it with denim for a soft weekend look, with tailored trousers for a polished daytime outfit, or with a skirt when you want something feminine and comfortable. It is also a good choice if you like knitwear that feels light, flattering and easy to layer.

To keep your wrap tie knit top soft and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Untie the side tie before washing.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Reshape gently while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the neckline, shoulders and wrap shape.

Is the wrap tie knit top adjustable?

Yes. The side tie allows you to adjust the fit, so you can wear it closer to the body or slightly looser for a softer drape.

What is the wrap tie knit top made from?

It is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving the top warmth, comfort, structure and durability.

Is this wrap knit top suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes it soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

Does the top have a V neckline?

Yes. The crossover wrap front creates a flattering V neckline that gives the piece a clean and elegant shape.

Is the wrap tie knit top good for layering?

Yes. The lightweight 8gg / 2ply knit makes it easy to layer over a fine vest, camisole or base layer without feeling bulky.

How should I style a wrap tie knit top?

Style it with high-rise trousers for a polished look, with denim for relaxed everyday wear, or with a skirt for a softer, more feminine outfit.

Will the knit top keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the garment retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Is this a good alternative to a cardigan?

Yes. The wrap-front shape makes it a refined alternative to a cardigan, offering the ease of a layering piece with a more shaped silhouette.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Zen Contrast Trim Cardigan – Cashmere Blend Cardigan with Statement Edging

The Zen contrast trim cardigan brings a crisp, modern detail to soft luxury knitwear. Designed with a clean button-through front, delicate mother-of-pearl buttons and striking contrast edging, Zen has a quietly graphic look while still feeling soft, wearable and elegant.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere blend cardigan has warmth, comfort and natural breathability. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply construction gives the cardigan a beautifully substantial feel without making it bulky, making it ideal for layering through changing seasons.

The contrast trim frames the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem, giving the cardigan a polished finish from every angle. Wear it closed as a neat knitted top, open over a camisole, or layered under a coat for a refined everyday look.

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction
  • 15 small mother-of-pearl buttons
  • Contrast trim at neckline, placket, cuffs and hem

Why This Contrast Trim Cardigan Stands Out:

Zen stands out because of its edging. The contrast trim gives the cardigan a strong visual line without making it feel loud or over-designed. It frames the garment beautifully, drawing attention to the neckline, front opening, cuffs and hem.

The mother-of-pearl buttons add a softer detail against the clean trim. They catch the light gently and give the cardigan a more premium finish than ordinary buttons. Together, the buttons and contrast edging create a cardigan that feels thoughtful, polished and quietly distinctive.

This is a women’s luxury cardigan for someone who likes simple shapes with a design twist. It has the comfort of premium knitwear, but the contrast finish makes it feel sharper and more styled than a plain cardigan.

The Zen cardigan has a neat, relaxed shape that sits comfortably on the body without clinging. The button-through front gives you styling flexibility, so you can wear it fully fastened, half buttoned, or open as a soft layer.

The rounded neckline keeps the look clean and easy to wear. It sits neatly under coats and jackets, but also looks beautiful on its own because the contrast trim creates a natural frame around the face and collarbone.

The hemline is short enough to work well with high-waisted trousers, skirts and dresses. It gives the cardigan a fresh, balanced proportion rather than a heavy or oversized look.

Zen is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere gives softness and a luxurious feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and everyday durability.

The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit gives the cardigan a more substantial feel than a very fine knit. It feels cosy and reliable, but still smooth enough to wear indoors or layer comfortably.

This is premium knitwear designed for real wardrobes: soft enough to feel special, practical enough to wear often, and detailed enough to make simple outfits look finished.

A contrast trim cardigan is perfect when you want knitwear that feels classic but not plain. The clean edging adds definition, helping the cardigan stand out without relying on bold prints or heavy decoration.

Zen works especially well because the contrast detail is placed with purpose. It outlines the cardigan, highlights the buttons and gives the whole piece a boutique finish.

It is a strong choice if you want a cashmere blend cardigan that can move between casual, smart and creative styling. With jeans, it feels fresh and relaxed. With tailored trousers, it looks polished. Over a dress, it adds softness with a little edge.

Zen is for someone who loves soft knitwear but wants a little personality in the detail. It suits women who prefer elegant everyday pieces with a modern finish.

It is ideal if you like cardigans that can be styled in more than one way. Wear it as a buttoned knit top for a neat look, open over a vest for easy layering, or tucked slightly into high-waisted trousers for a more styled silhouette.

This cardigan is especially good for anyone building a wardrobe around pieces that feel timeless, but not boring.

To keep your Zen contrast trim cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Fasten the buttons before washing to help protect the shape.
Do not wring or twist the garment.
Reshape the neckline, cuffs, hem and button placket while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the shoulders and trim.

What is a contrast trim cardigan?

A contrast trim cardigan features edging in a different colour from the main body. On Zen, the contrast trim appears at the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem for a clean, defined finish.

What is the Zen contrast trim cardigan made from?

Zen is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this contrast trim cardigan suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Zen soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

Does the cardigan have buttons?

Yes. Zen features 15 small mother-of-pearl buttons down the front, creating a neat button-through silhouette.

Is the Zen cardigan warm?

Yes. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction gives the cardigan warmth and structure while still allowing comfortable layering.

How should I style a contrast trim cardigan?

Style it buttoned as a knit top with tailored trousers, wear it open over a camisole, or layer it over dresses and skirts for a refined everyday look.

Will the cardigan keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the cardigan retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Nano Short Sleeve Cardigan – Cropped Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Nano short sleeve cardigan is small in shape but full of character. Designed with a cropped body, deep V neckline and three simple buttons, it brings a fresh, feminine feel to luxury knitwear.

This is the cardigan you reach for when a full-length layer feels too much, but your outfit still needs softness, warmth and a finished look. The short sleeves make Nano feel light and modern, while the cropped length works beautifully with high-waisted trousers, skirts, denim and dresses.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere cardigan feels soft, breathable and gently warm. It can be worn buttoned as a neat knitted top or left open as a light layer over a vest, camisole or summer dress.

Why This Short Sleeve Cardigan Stands Out:

Nano stands out because it changes how a cardigan can be worn. It is not a heavy layer or a traditional long-sleeve knit. It feels lighter, shorter and more styling-led.

The cropped shape gives it a youthful, easy proportion, while the deep V neckline creates a clean open line through the front. The three-button fastening keeps the design simple and neat, allowing the cardigan to work as both a top and a layer.

This short sleeve cardigan is especially useful when you want warmth without covering the whole outfit. It adds softness over a dress, shape with high-waisted trousers and a relaxed luxury feel with denim.

The Nano cardigan has a cropped, relaxed fit that sits neatly around the waist. This makes it ideal for balancing fuller skirts, wide-leg trousers and high-rise denim.

The deep V neckline gives the cardigan a more open, flattering shape. When worn buttoned, it becomes a soft knitted top with a clean front. When worn open, it works as a light cardigan over sleeveless pieces.

The short sleeves are designed with a gentle drape rather than a tight fit. This gives the cardigan softness around the arms and keeps the whole shape easy, airy and comfortable.

Nano is knitted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan softness and a smooth hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural durability.

The 9gg / 2ply knit construction gives Nano a lighter feel than chunkier knitwear. It is soft and cosy, but never heavy. This makes it perfect for transitional weather, indoor layering, travel outfits and cooler summer evenings.

It is luxury knitwear with an easy attitude — delicate in appearance, but practical enough to wear often.

A cropped cardigan is a clever piece because it changes the proportion of an outfit. Instead of covering everything, it sits higher on the body and gives shape to the waist.

Nano works beautifully with high-waisted pieces because it does not create extra bulk around the hips. It also layers well over dresses, where a longer cardigan might feel too heavy or hide the shape of the outfit.

This makes Nano a perfect choice if you want button cardigan knitwear that feels modern, feminine and easy to style.

Nano is for someone who likes knitwear that feels light, pretty and practical. It is ideal if you want the softness of a cashmere cardigan, but in a shorter and more modern shape.

It suits women who enjoy versatile pieces. Wear it buttoned with trousers for a clean daytime look, open over a dress for soft layering, or with denim for an easy weekend outfit.

This cardigan is especially good for spring, early autumn, holidays, indoor warmth and days when you want a gentle layer without feeling wrapped up.

To keep your Nano short sleeve cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Fasten the buttons before washing.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Gently reshape the neckline, sleeves and cropped hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to protect the cropped shape and shoulder line.

Can the Nano cardigan be worn as a top?

Yes. The cropped shape and three-button front make Nano easy to wear buttoned as a soft knitted top, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts.

Why choose a short sleeve cardigan instead of a classic long sleeve cardigan?

A short sleeve cardigan gives lighter coverage and more styling flexibility. It works well in transitional weather, indoors, or layered over dresses and camisoles without feeling too warm.

Does the cropped length work with high-waisted trousers?

Yes. Nano is designed to sit neatly at the waist, which makes it especially flattering with high-rise denim, tailored trousers and skirts.

Is the deep V neckline easy to wear?

The deep V neckline creates a flattering open shape. It can be worn alone as a knit top or layered over a fine vest or camisole for extra coverage.

What does 9gg / 2ply mean for this cardigan?

The 9gg / 2ply construction gives Nano a finer, lighter knit than a chunky cardigan. It feels breathable, smooth and easy to layer.

Are the short sleeves fitted or loose?

The short sleeves have a soft relaxed drape, giving ease through the arm rather than a tight fitted feel.

Is Nano a good cardigan for spring and summer evenings?

Yes. Its lightweight knit and short sleeves make it ideal for adding gentle warmth over dresses, camisoles or sleeveless tops when temperatures cool.

How should I store a cropped cashmere blend cardigan?

Store it folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the cropped shape, shoulder line and soft knitted structure over time.

Is this jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The blend of cashmere and lambswool gives the jumper a luxurious feel while making it practical for regular wear.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Hooded Cardigan Feels Special

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Striped knit pattern for a fresh, casual-luxury look
  • Soft hood for relaxed layering without sweatshirt heaviness
  • Six-button front for flexible styling
  • Drop shoulders for an easy, modern fit
  • Straight hem for a clean, balanced outline
  • Long sleeves for gentle warmth
  • One size design made for effortless layering
  • Available in two distinctive stripe combinations

Elsi is shaped around a relaxed hood, giving the cardigan a casual ease that feels different from a classic round-neck or V-neck knit. The hood adds softness around the neckline and makes the piece feel instantly more laid-back, but the button front keeps it polished enough for everyday outfits.

The horizontal stripes give Elsi its cheerful, recognisable character. They add rhythm and movement to the design without making the cardigan feel busy. The straight hem keeps the look neat, so the stripes still feel clean and wearable.

The drop shoulders create a gentle slouch through the upper body, making the cardigan comfortable over T-shirts, fine layers and simple base pieces. It is relaxed, but not careless — the proportions are easy, balanced and made for layering.

Elsi is knitted from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan a smooth, gentle feel, while the lambswool brings natural warmth, bounce and everyday strength.

The result is a hooded button cardigan women can wear often: cosy enough for cool days, breathable enough for indoor layering, and soft enough to feel special every time it goes on.

Unlike a standard hoodie, Elsi has a more refined knitted surface and a natural-fibre handle. It gives you comfort, but with the quieter luxury of premium knitwear.

A striped knit cardigan is a beautiful way to bring colour and personality into a wardrobe without relying on loud prints. The stripe gives the piece life, while the cashmere blend keeps the feeling soft and elevated.

Elsi is especially useful because it combines three wardrobe favourites in one piece: the ease of a hoodie, the flexibility of a button cardigan and the warmth of luxury knitwear. It can be worn open, buttoned, layered or packed for weekends away.

It is the cardigan for days when you want to feel comfortable, but still look as though you have chosen something with care.

This hooded cardigan is for someone who loves relaxed dressing, but still wants beautiful fibres and thoughtful design. It suits women who like knitwear with personality, colour and a softer everyday feel.

Wear Elsi with denim and trainers for a simple weekend look, layer it over a white T-shirt for a fresh stripe contrast, or style it with wide-leg trousers when you want casual knitwear to feel more grown-up.

It is also a lovely piece for travel, school runs, relaxed work-from-home days, dog walks, seaside breaks and evenings when you want a light layer that feels cosy but not heavy.

To keep your Elsi hooded cardigan soft, clean and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten the buttons before washing to help protect the front placket
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Gently reshape the hood, sleeves and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders and hood shape

What makes Elsi a hooded cardigan?

Elsi has a soft knitted hood, long sleeves and a six-button front, giving it the relaxed feeling of a hoodie with the styling flexibility of a cardigan.

Is this cardigan more casual than a classic button cardigan?

Yes. The hood and stripes give Elsi a more relaxed feel, but the cashmere blend and neat button front keep it refined enough for everyday luxury knitwear styling.

Can I wear the Elsi hooded cardigan buttoned up?

Yes. The six small front buttons allow you to wear it closed as a cosy knitted top or open as an easy layering cardigan.

Does the hood feel heavy?

No. The hood is knitted as part of the soft cardigan shape, so it adds a relaxed detail around the neckline without the weight of a sweatshirt hood.

What does a drop-shoulder fit mean?

A drop shoulder means the shoulder seam sits lower on the arm, giving the cardigan a softer, more relaxed shape through the upper body.

Is Elsi a good cardigan for layering?

Yes. The one-size fit, button front and relaxed shoulders make it easy to layer over T-shirts, fine knits, vests and lightweight base layers.

Is the hem straight or shaped?

Elsi has a straight hem, with the front and back falling to the same length. This gives the striped design a clean and balanced finish.

Which colour combination is brighter?

Butter Milk / Fluro Pink is the brighter and more playful option. Teal / Butter Milk feels calmer, fresher and slightly more understated.

Can this striped hooded cardigan be styled smartly?

Yes. Pair it with clean trousers, simple jewellery and a plain base layer to make the stripes feel polished rather than sporty.

Is this suitable for travel?

Yes. Elsi is soft, comfortable and easy to layer, making it useful for travel days, weekends away and changing temperatures.

How should I care for the hood?

After washing, gently reshape the hood while the knit is damp and dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the shoulders and neckline.

What makes Elsi different from a normal hoodie?

Elsi is knitted from a cashmere and lambswool blend and fastens like a cardigan. It gives the comfort of a hoodie, but with the softer texture and elevated finish of luxury knitwear.

Why This Button Cardigan Feels So Easy to Wear

  • Soft 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, light feel
  • Five-button front for flexible styling
  • Crew neckline for a clean everyday shape
  • Raglan sleeves for comfortable movement
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a neat finish
  • Works buttoned as a top or open as a cardigan
  • Light enough for layering through the seasons
  • Available in S/M and M/L

Eden is designed with a classic crew neckline and a simple button-through front, giving it the clean look of a traditional cardigan without feeling old-fashioned. The five-button fastening keeps the front neat and makes the cardigan easy to wear open, closed or half-buttoned.

The raglan sleeves are an important part of the shape. They give the shoulder line a softer, more relaxed feel than a set-in sleeve, so the cardigan sits comfortably over T-shirts, light tops and fine layers.

The length is easy to style with high-waisted trousers, denim and skirts. It sits neatly at the body without feeling cropped, making Eden a practical piece for everyday dressing as well as brighter, colour-led outfits.

Eden is knitted from a cashmere and lambswool blend that balances softness, warmth and wearability. The cashmere gives the cardigan a gentle luxury feel, while the lambswool adds natural warmth and helps the knit keep its shape.

The fine gauge construction gives Eden a smoother, lighter surface than chunkier knitwear. It feels cosy but not heavy, making it useful for indoor wear, layering under coats and adding warmth on cooler spring or autumn days.

Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem bring the softness together with a tidy finish. They help the cardigan sit neatly while keeping the overall feel relaxed and comfortable.

A cashmere blend cardigan is one of the most useful pieces in a wardrobe because it can be worn in more than one way. Eden can act as a soft outer layer, a buttoned knit top or a light layer under a jacket.

The blend of cashmere and lambswool makes it feel special without being too delicate for regular use. It has the softness people love in luxury knitwear, with the added structure and resilience needed for everyday life.

This makes Eden a strong choice if you want knitwear that feels cheerful, practical and polished, not too formal and not too plain.

This button cardigan is for women who like easy clothes with a little personality. It suits anyone who wants a soft layer that can move between home, work, weekends and travel without needing complicated styling.

Choose Navy Marl for a calm everyday cardigan, Fluro Pink for colour and confidence, or Orange Peel when you want warmth and brightness in your outfit.

Eden is especially good for those who enjoy simple shapes but still want their knitwear to feel considered. It is classic enough to wear often, but the colour options keep it fresh and expressive.

To keep your Eden button cardigan soft, smooth and neatly shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Fasten the buttons before washing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line and button front

What makes Eden a button cardigan?

Eden has a classic button-through front with five buttons, so it can be worn open as a layer or closed as a neat knitted top.

Is this cardigan made from cashmere?

Yes. Eden is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness and a luxury knitwear feel.

Is the neckline high or open?

Eden has a crew neckline. It sits cleanly around the neck and gives the cardigan a simple, easy shape for everyday wear.

Can I wear Eden buttoned up as a top?

Yes. The neat button front and crew neckline make Eden easy to wear fully buttoned as a cashmere blend knit top.

Does the cardigan feel heavy?

No. Eden has a soft-touch fine gauge knit, so it feels light and comfortable while still giving gentle warmth.

What are raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves are shaped from the neckline rather than being sewn at the shoulder edge. This gives the cardigan a softer shoulder line and makes it comfortable for layering.

Which colour is best for everyday wear?

Navy Marl is the easiest everyday option. Fluro Pink is brighter and more playful, while Orange Peel gives a warm statement colour.

Is Eden suitable for work or smart casual outfits?

Yes. Eden can look polished with tailored trousers or a skirt, especially when worn buttoned and styled with simple accessories.

Can this button cardigan be layered under a coat?

Yes. The fine gauge knit and smooth shape make Eden easy to wear under coats or jackets without adding too much bulk.

How do I keep the button front looking neat?

Fasten the buttons before washing, reshape the placket while damp and dry the cardigan flat. This helps the front sit smoothly.

Is this a good cardigan for year-round wear?

Yes. Eden is light enough for spring and autumn layering, cosy enough for cooler days, and comfortable enough to wear indoors during winter.

What makes Eden different from a plain cardigan?

Eden keeps the classic button cardigan shape but adds soft cashmere blend luxury, raglan sleeves and confident colour options that give it more personality.

Carlota Cashmere Cardigan – Collared Luxury Knitwear

The Carlota cashmere cardigan is an elegant layering piece designed with softness, simplicity and quiet polish. Crafted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Carlota offers gentle warmth, natural breathability and a refined feel that works beautifully across seasons.

With its soft open collar, relaxed silhouette and signature pin fastening, this cashmere cardigan brings a more modern finish to classic knitwear. It is designed to fall naturally over the body, making it easy to wear over T-shirts, fine knits, dresses or tailored separates.

 

Cardigan Features

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction
  • Soft open collar neckline

Why This Cashmere Cardigan Stands Out

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction for warmth and structure
  • Soft open collar for a relaxed, polished neckline
  • Signature pin fastening instead of traditional buttons
  • Relaxed silhouette for easy everyday layering
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a neat, shaped finish
  • Lightweight yet cosy feel
  • Designed for seasonless wear
  • Available in S/M and M/L

Carlota is designed with a soft open collar that frames the neckline without feeling formal. Unlike a classic button cardigan, the front is finished with a signature pin fastening, giving the piece a cleaner and more contemporary look.

The relaxed shape allows the cardigan to drape naturally rather than sitting tightly against the body. This gives Carlota an easy, elegant feel and makes it especially useful for layering over different outfits.

Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem add subtle structure, helping the cardigan keep its shape while maintaining softness. The overall silhouette feels refined but unforced — polished enough for smart styling, relaxed enough for everyday wear.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 4 Ply cashmere blend, Carlota has a soft, warm and lightly structured feel. The cashmere adds smoothness and luxury, while the lambswool brings durability, insulation and shape retention.

The result is a cashmere cardigan that feels cosy without becoming heavy. It is warm enough for cooler days, but still breathable and comfortable enough for indoor layering.

A collared cashmere cardigan offers a more polished look than a casual open cardigan, while still keeping the comfort of soft knitwear. The collar gives shape around the neckline and makes the cardigan feel more styled, even with very simple outfits.

Carlota is especially versatile because the pin fastening lets the front sit softly rather than pulling into a rigid button line. This gives the garment movement, elegance and a relaxed sense of luxury.

This cashmere cardigan is designed for those who prefer timeless knitwear with a modern detail. It is ideal if you want a piece that feels soft and luxurious, but not overly delicate or difficult to style.

Wear Carlota over a fine T-shirt for everyday ease, layer it with tailored trousers for a smarter look, or style it over a dress when you want warmth without losing elegance.

To keep your cashmere cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Remove the pin before washing or storing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Reshape the collar, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder line

What makes the Carlota cashmere cardigan different from a button cardigan?

Carlota is fastened with a signature pin rather than a row of buttons. This gives the front a softer, cleaner look and allows the cardigan to fall more naturally.

Can the pin fastening be removed?

Yes. The pin can be removed, which makes the cardigan easy to wear open and also helps protect the knit during washing or storage.

Does the open collar sit neatly?

Yes. The collar is designed to sit softly around the neckline, giving structure without feeling stiff or formal.

Which colour is better for a timeless wardrobe?

Stone is a classic neutral that pairs easily with black, navy, denim and cream. Buttermilk feels softer and lighter, especially with warm neutrals and pale tones.

Is Carlota suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The collar and pin fastening make Carlota feel more polished than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed fit keeps it comfortable and easy to wear.

Can this cardigan replace a light jacket?

In mild weather, yes. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit gives warmth and structure, making Carlota useful as a soft outer layer indoors or on cooler days.

How should I style the pin fastening?

Fasten the pin at the centre for a neat look, place it slightly off-centre for a softer drape, or remove it completely and wear the cardigan open.

How do I protect the collar shape?

After washing, reshape the collar gently while damp and dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the neckline and shoulders.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cardigan feels warm, soft and naturally breathable, with enough structure to hold its shape through regular wear.

Wear it buttoned as a knitted top, open over a camisole, or layered with a fine roll neck when the weather cools. Blossom is a cardigan that feels delicate in mood, but practical enough for real wardrobes.

Why Blossom Feels So Beautifully Textured

  • Premium 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Compact ribbed surface with a slim vertical line
  • Deep V neckline for an open, flattering shape
  • Four genuine mother-of-pearl buttons
  • Cropped length designed for high-waisted styling
  • Long slim sleeves for a neat, elegant outline
  • Can be worn closed as a soft top or open as a cardigan
  • Ribbed knit gives gentle stretch and recovery
  • Warm, breathable and comfortable for everyday wear
  • Available in rich, seasonal colour options

Blossom is built around proportion. The body is softly cropped, so it sits at the high hip rather than falling long or heavy. This gives the cardigan a neat, modern shape that works especially well with high-waisted denim, wide-leg trousers and skirts.

The deep V neckline keeps the front open and flattering. It softens the look of the ribbed knit and allows the cardigan to be styled over different layers, from a fine camisole to a roll neck.

The four mother-of-pearl buttons add a natural, polished detail. They are small enough to keep the cardigan understated, but special enough to lift the whole piece. Worn buttoned, Blossom feels like a refined knitted top. Worn open, it becomes a light layer with texture and movement.

This cashmere & lambswool cardigan is knitted in an 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction, giving it a compact yet flexible feel. The cashmere adds softness and a smooth touch, while the lambswool brings warmth, resilience and natural body.

The ribbed knit is one of Blossom’s strongest details. It gives the cardigan a tactile quality, helps it sit neatly on the body and creates a subtle vertical effect that feels elegant without being formal.

Because the fabric has natural give, Blossom moves comfortably while still feeling shaped. It is warm enough for cooler days, but light enough to wear indoors or under a coat.

A ribbed cardigan gives more dimension than a plain knit. The texture catches the eye gently, adds depth to simple outfits and helps the garment feel more structured without adding bulk.

Blossom is a strong choice if you want a cardigan that can do more than one job. It can be a soft layer, a buttoned knit top, a neat piece for trousers, or a feminine finish over a skirt or dress.

The ribbed cashmere and lambswool blend makes the cardigan feel luxurious, but not too delicate. It is designed to be enjoyed often, not saved away.

Blossom is made for women who like knitwear with texture, softness and a little shape. It suits wardrobes built around natural fibres, easy layering and pieces that look simple but feel considered.

It is ideal if you enjoy cropped cardigans but want something warmer and more tactile than a fine jersey layer. The ribbed texture gives the piece presence, while the V neckline keeps it feminine and wearable.

Style it with denim for everyday ease, with tailored trousers for a more polished look, or with a slip skirt when you want the cardigan to feel soft and quietly elegant.

To keep your Blossom ribbed cashmere & lambswool cardigan soft, neat and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten the buttons before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the ribbed knit
  • Reshape the V neckline, sleeves and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the cropped shape and rib structure

What makes Blossom a ribbed cashmere & lambswool cardigan?

Blossom combines a compact rib texture with a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The rib gives shape and stretch, while the fibres bring warmth, softness and luxury.

Is Blossom more fitted or relaxed?

Blossom has a neat one-size shape with natural stretch from the ribbed knit. It gently follows the body without feeling tight or stiff.

Can this cardigan be worn as a top?

Yes. The cropped length, deep V neckline and four-button front make Blossom easy to wear buttoned as a knitted top with trousers, denim or skirts.

Does the ribbed texture make it bulky?

No. The rib is compact and refined rather than chunky. It adds texture and structure while keeping the cardigan light and elegant.

What should I wear under the deep V neckline?

A camisole, fine vest, silk layer or lightweight roll neck all work well. The neckline is designed to give styling flexibility across seasons.

Are the mother-of-pearl buttons functional?

Yes. The four buttons fasten through the front, so you can wear Blossom fully buttoned, partly open or loose as a layer.

Which colour is the most timeless?

Bitter Chocolate and Burgundy feel the most classic and rich. Fir Green is earthy and elegant, while Rust and Turmeric bring more warmth and personality.

Is this cardigan suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. Blossom feels luxurious, but the lambswool content adds resilience and structure, making it practical for regular wear with gentle care.

Will the cropped length work with skirts?

Yes. The high-hip length balances beautifully with skirts because it defines the waist area without covering too much of the outfit.

How do I keep the ribbed knit looking good?

Wash gently, reshape while damp and dry flat. Avoid hanging the cardigan for long periods, as this can stretch the shoulders and ribbed structure.

What makes Blossom different from a plain cardigan?

The vertical rib texture, deep V neckline, cropped length and mother-of-pearl buttons give Blossom more shape, detail and character than a simple plain-knit cardigan.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they influence the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a knitted garment. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Dorian One Button Cardigan 

The one button cardigan Dorian is a beautifully simple layer with one striking point of focus: a single luminous shell-detail button that draws the front together while leaving the knit soft, open and fluid. Its sky-blue colour in the images gives the cardigan a calm, fresh presence, while the tailored collar adds just enough structure to make it feel polished.

Designed with a relaxed A-line drape, cropped three-quarter sleeves and a gently overlapping front, Dorian feels lighter than a traditional cardigan but more refined than an open throw-on layer. From the back, a fine pleated detail opens through the lower body, giving the garment quiet movement and a graceful swing as you walk.

Knitted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cardigan balances softness, breathability and everyday warmth. Wear it over a vest, dress, blouse or fine knit when you want a layer that feels elegant without becoming formal.

Why This One Button Cardigan Stands Out

  • Single shell-detail button gives the cardigan a clear focal point
  • Soft collar adds polish without making the knit feel formal
  • Open front creates an elegant V-shaped line
  • Three-quarter sleeves keep the silhouette light and easy to move in
  • Fine pleated back detail adds swing, shape and quiet movement
  • Mid-hip length works well over trousers, dresses and skirts
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives breathable warmth with a smooth finish
  • A refined alternative to a classic button-through cardigan

Dorian is shaped around restraint. Instead of a row of buttons, the cardigan closes with one shell-detail button placed at the front, allowing the panels to fall softly below it. This creates a gentle overlap through the body and a flattering open line at the neckline.

The collar is small and softly structured, visible from both the front and back. It gives the cardigan a more tailored feeling than a plain edge, but the knitted fabric keeps the look relaxed and wearable.

The back view is especially important. A neat horizontal seam releases into a central pleat, giving the lower back a subtle swing. This pleated detail stops the cardigan from feeling flat and adds movement without adding bulk.

Dorian is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan softness and a smooth hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural resilience.

The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction feels light but not fragile. It has enough substance to hold the collar, button front and pleated back detail, while still feeling breathable and comfortable for layering.

The surface of the knit is clean and refined, with a gentle softness that makes Dorian easy to wear over bare arms, fine tops or dresses.

A one button cardigan gives a different feeling from a traditional button cardigan. It is simpler, softer and more open, creating shape without closing the whole front of the garment.

Dorian is especially useful when you want a cardigan that frames an outfit rather than covers it. The single button draws the eye in, while the collar, three-quarter sleeves and pleated back bring design interest from every angle.

It is a beautiful choice for women who like knitwear with a quiet architectural detail — not loud, not fussy, but carefully considered.

Dorian is for women who want a cardigan that feels refined, light and easy to style. It suits those who prefer soft natural fibres but still like a little structure around the neckline.

Wear it over a sleeveless top for transitional dressing, over a dress when you want a gentle layer, or with denim and simple trousers for relaxed everyday elegance. The three-quarter sleeves make it practical for working, travelling and moving through the day.

This cardigan is ideal if you want luxury knitwear that feels elegant without being delicate or overly formal.

To keep your Dorian one button cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten the single button before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the collar, front panels and pleated back detail while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders and back pleat

What makes Dorian a one button cardigan?

Dorian fastens with one shell-detail button at the front instead of a full row of buttons. This gives the cardigan a softer open shape while still creating a neat focal point.

Does the cardigan stay open below the button?

Yes. The front panels fall naturally below the single button, creating an easy drape and a relaxed V-shaped opening.

What is special about the back of this cardigan?

The back has a fine pleated detail released from a horizontal seam. This gives the cardigan gentle movement and a more elegant swing from behind.

Is the collar stiff?

No. The collar gives structure, but it is knitted and soft rather than rigid. It frames the neckline without feeling formal.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. Dorian has three-quarter length sleeves, which makes it lighter and easier to wear across seasons.

What is the button made to look like?

The cardigan has a luminous shell-detail button. It adds a small polished highlight against the softness of the knit.

Can I wear this cardigan over dresses?

Yes. The mid-hip length, single button and soft swing shape work beautifully over dresses because the cardigan adds warmth without hiding the outfit completely.

Is Dorian suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The collar and single button give it a refined look, while the cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it comfortable and relaxed.

Which colours are available?

Dorian is available in Black, Burgundy, Chalk Blue, Cloud Blue, Graphite, Monet Pink, Navy Marl, Orchid Ice, Rust, Sky, Smoke, Soft Pink and Teal.

Is the cardigan warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives soft warmth, while the 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit keeps it breathable rather than heavy.

How should I protect the pleated back detail?

After washing, smooth the back seam and pleat gently while damp, then dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the shape.

What makes this different from a regular cardigan?

Dorian has a single button, small collar, three-quarter sleeves and a pleated back. These details make it feel more designed and graceful than a basic button cardigan.

Zeya Striped Cardigan 

The striped cardigan Zeya brings confident pattern into soft luxury knitwear without losing everyday ease. Designed with horizontal contrast bands, a neat button-front opening and a relaxed dropped-shoulder shape, it feels expressive but still refined enough to wear often.

The front is finished with six small buttons, allowing this cardigan to be worn closed as a statement knit or open over a simple layer. Rolled edges at the neckline, cuffs and hem give the piece a softer, less formal finish, while the long sleeves and compact length make it easy to balance with denim, tailored trousers or skirts.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend cardigan has a warm, breathable handle with a smooth natural softness. Zeya is a women’s striped cardigan for anyone who enjoys graphic knitwear with a playful mood, but still wants the comfort and quality of luxury knitwear.

Why This Striped Cardigan Stands Out

  • Distinctive horizontal stripes create instant character without needing extra styling
  • Six-button front gives flexible wear as a closed knit or open layer
  • Dropped shoulders add an easy, relaxed line through the upper body
  • Rolled trims soften the neckline, cuffs and hem
  • Compact cardigan length works well with high-waisted trousers and skirts
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives softness, warmth and natural breathability
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit offers more presence than a very fine cardigan
  • A strong alternative to plain button knitwear

Zeya has a relaxed, slightly boxy cardigan shape with dropped shoulders that allow the stripes to fall in a softer, more casual way. The silhouette is easy rather than fitted, giving the cardigan a comfortable drape while still keeping a neat outline.

The six-button front gives the design its structure. Fastened, it becomes a bold striped knit with a clean centre line. Worn open, it becomes a lighter layer over a simple vest, T-shirt, shirt or dress.

The stripe placement continues across the sleeves, which makes the whole garment feel lively and intentional. Rolled edging at the neckline, cuffs and lower hem keeps the finish relaxed, adding a soft handmade character rather than a stiff tailored edge.

This cardigan is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the surface a soft, luxurious feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, bounce and durability for regular wear.

The 8 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives Zeya a satisfying midweight handle. It feels warmer and more substantial than a very fine cardigan, but it is still comfortable enough for layering and indoor wear.

The result is luxury knitwear with personality: soft enough to feel special, strong enough to hold the stripe design clearly, and practical enough to become part of everyday dressing.

A striped button cardigan gives more energy than a plain knit while staying easy to style. The pattern creates the interest, so the rest of the outfit can stay simple.

Zeya is especially useful because the design has both softness and structure. The buttons create a clean front line, the dropped shoulders keep the feel relaxed, and the rolled edges stop the stripes from looking too formal.

Choose this striped cardigan when you want knitwear that feels playful, confident and wearable, with enough detail to lift everyday jeans, trousers or skirts.

Zeya is for anyone who likes knitwear with movement, pattern and a little attitude. It suits wardrobes built around simple pieces because the stripes bring focus without needing complicated styling.

Wear it with denim for a relaxed weekend look, with tailored trousers for a sharper contrast, or over a plain dress when you want the outfit to feel softer but still modern.

This is a cardigan for days when a neutral layer feels too quiet. It is comfortable, graphic and easy to wear, with the natural softness expected from Ochre Knitwear.

To keep your Zeya striped cardigan soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten the buttons before washing
  • Turn the cardigan inside out to help protect the stripe surface
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the dropped shoulders

What makes Zeya a striped cardigan?

Zeya is designed with horizontal contrast stripes across the body and sleeves. The pattern gives the cardigan a graphic, confident look while the cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it soft and wearable.

How many buttons does this cardigan have?

Zeya has six small front buttons. They allow the cardigan to be worn fully fastened, partly open or layered loosely over another piece.

Is Zeya a relaxed fit cardigan?

Yes. The dropped shoulders and easy body shape give Zeya a relaxed fit. It is not a tight cardigan, but the compact length keeps the shape balanced.

What does the rolled edge finish look like?

The neckline, cuffs and hem have a soft rolled finish. This gives the cardigan a more casual, tactile look than a traditional ribbed trim.

Can I wear this cardigan as a top?

Yes. When buttoned, Zeya works well as a striped button cardigan worn as the main knit. You can also leave a few buttons open for a softer neckline.

Is the stripe design easy to style?

Yes. Because the stripe is already the main detail, Zeya works best with simple pieces such as plain denim, tailored trousers, skirts or a clean base layer.

Is this cardigan warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives natural warmth, while the 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit adds a comfortable midweight feel.

Does the dropped shoulder affect the stripe placement?

The dropped shoulder creates a softer, more relaxed line, so the stripes move naturally across the sleeve and body rather than looking rigid.

Can this striped cardigan be layered under a coat?

Yes. Zeya can be layered under coats and jackets. The rolled edges and button front keep it comfortable, while the long sleeves add warmth.

How should I protect the buttons?

Fasten the buttons before washing, avoid rubbing directly over them and dry the cardigan flat. This helps protect both the button placket and the knit.

Is Zeya suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The design feels special because of the stripes, but the shape is easy and practical enough for regular wear with simple outfits.

What makes Zeya different from a plain cardigan?

Zeya has a stronger visual identity. The stripes, rolled trims, dropped shoulders and button front make it more expressive than a plain cashmere blend cardigan.
