Gani Shell Button Cardigan – Cardigan with Patch Pockets

The shell button cardigan Gani brings a charming, hand-finished detail to soft everyday luxury knitwear. Seen here in a clear Sky blue, it has a relaxed square shape, rolled slash neckline, long sleeves and a striking row of 15 small shell buttons running down the centre front.

The design feels quietly playful without losing polish. Two neat patch pockets sit low on the front, giving the cardigan a useful, easy character, while the rolled cuffs and hem keep the edges soft rather than formal. From the side, the relaxed shoulder line and smooth knit surface create a comfortable drape that sits naturally over the body.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend cardigan combines warmth, softness and a lightly structured feel. Gani works beautifully as a button cardigan women can wear over simple tees, fine shirts, dresses or denim when they want colour, comfort and a distinctive shell-button finish.

Why This Shell Button Cardigan Has Character

  • 15 small shell buttons create a beautiful centre-front feature
  • Square bodice gives the cardigan a relaxed, modern outline
  • Slash neckline with rolled edges feels soft and quietly distinctive
  • Patch pockets add charm and everyday usefulness
  • Rolled cuffs and hem keep the finish relaxed rather than stiff
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit gives gentle substance without heavy bulk
  • Sky blue shade adds freshness to simple outfits
  • A colourful alternative to a plain cashmere blend cardigan

Gani is shaped with a wide slash neckline that sits softly across the upper body. The rolled edge gives the neckline a natural, handmade look, making the cardigan feel less formal than a classic crew neck and more individual than a plain open cardigan.

The centre front is the main feature. A vertical line of 15 shell buttons catches the eye and adds a delicate contrast against the smooth blue knit. The buttons bring a subtle shine without making the cardigan look decorative in a heavy way.

The two patch pockets are placed low on the front, giving the square bodice balance and function. Together with the rolled hem and cuffs, they make Gani feel easy, charming and full of quiet detail.

Gani is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan its soft, smooth handle, while the lambswool adds warmth, resilience and enough body for the square shape to sit well.

The 8 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives the knit a comfortable medium feel. It is warmer and more substantial than a fine summer cardigan, but still soft and flexible enough for layering indoors or under outerwear.

The surface of the knit looks smooth and clean in the uploaded images, allowing the shell buttons, rolled trims and pocket details to stand out clearly.

A shell button cardigan gives knitwear a softer, more crafted feeling than an ordinary button cardigan. The natural look of the buttons adds light, texture and personality without needing bold pattern or contrast trim.

Gani is especially useful because the shape is simple but the details are memorable. The slash neck gives openness, the pockets add ease, and the row of buttons creates a vertical line that lengthens the front visually.

It is a strong choice if you want luxury knitwear that feels relaxed, colourful and practical, but still has a design point that makes it recognisable.

Gani is for women who like cardigans with personality, but still want them to be easy to wear. It suits relaxed wardrobes, colourful knitwear collections and anyone who appreciates small details such as shell buttons, pockets and rolled edges.

Wear it over a white tee with jeans for a clear everyday look, layer it over a fine blouse for softer polish, or style it with wide-leg trousers when you want the square shape to feel more contemporary.

This cardigan is also lovely for travel and transitional weather because it gives warmth without feeling overly heavy, and the pockets make it feel practical as well as pretty.

To keep your Gani shell button cardigan soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten or protect the shell buttons before washing
  • Turn inside out to help protect the button detail and rolled edges
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the slash neckline, cuffs, pockets and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the square body and shoulder line

What makes Gani a shell button cardigan?

Gani has a centre-front line of 15 small shell buttons. This detail gives the cardigan its distinctive character and adds a natural, softly polished finish to the knit.

Is the Gani cardigan made from cashmere?

Gani is made from a cashmere and lambswool blend: 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This gives softness, warmth and better structure for regular wear.

What neckline does this cardigan have?

It has a slash neck with rolled edges. The neckline sits wider than a classic crew neck and gives the cardigan a relaxed, contemporary look.

Are the buttons the main design detail?

Yes. The shell buttons create a clear vertical feature down the centre front, while the patch pockets and rolled edges add extra texture and charm.

Does Gani have pockets?

Yes. Gani has two front patch pockets placed low on the body. They make the cardigan feel practical and give the square shape a more casual, easy finish.

Is this cardigan fitted or relaxed?

Gani has a relaxed one-size shape with a square bodice. It is designed to sit easily on the body rather than cling closely.

What colours is Gani available in?

Gani is available in Cloud Blue, Coral, Sky and Soft Pink. The uploaded images show the Sky colour, a clear blue shade that highlights the shell buttons beautifully.

Can I wear this cardigan over a dress?

Yes. The shorter length, soft rolled hem and decorative button line make Gani easy to layer over dresses without hiding the whole outfit.

Is this suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The shell buttons and slash neckline make it feel more special than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed body keeps it comfortable and wearable.

How should I care for the shell buttons?

Handle them gently, avoid rubbing directly over the button line when washing, and lay the cardigan flat to dry. This helps protect both the buttons and the centre-front finish.

Will the rolled edges stay soft?

Yes, with careful washing and flat drying. Reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp so the rolled edges settle neatly.

What makes Gani different from a plain cardigan?

Gani combines a slash neckline, rolled trims, two patch pockets and 15 shell buttons. These details give it a more crafted and memorable look than a simple everyday cardigan.

Different Types of Ply:

12 Gauge / 2 Ply

12 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

12-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 12 stitches per inch (12-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a relatively fine texture and high density, making it suitable for garments with a close, fitted, or refined look, such as lightweight sweaters, dresses, or accessories like gloves and scarves.

The 2-ply yarn adds strength and structure to the fabric while maintaining a balanced thickness, ensuring the knitted items are durable and long-lasting.

8 Gauge / 2 Ply

8 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 2-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric.

8 Gauge / 4 Ply

8 gauge, 4 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/4-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has four strands twisted together (4-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. It can be used to create garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 4-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric. Since this gauge is not too fine or too bulky, it offers versatility in projects and allows for a good knitting speed.

7 Gauge / 6 Ply

7 gauge, 6 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

7-gauge/6-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has six strands twisted together (6-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 7 stitches per inch (7-gauge). Due to its thickness and warmth  is well-suited for creating cozy and cold-weather garments such as heavy sweaters, jackets, blankets, and scarves.

The 7-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 6-ply yarn adds strength and structure, making the finished knitted items more resilient and long-lasting.

4 Gauge / 10 Ply

4 gauge, 10 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

4-gauge/10-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has ten strands twisted together (10-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 4 stitches per inch (4-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a substantial thickness and density, making it ideal for projects that require extra warmth and durability.

The 4-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 10-ply yarn adds significant thickness and warmth, making the finished knitted items perfect for cold-weather garments.

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.

Dressy Knitted Dress – Barrel Dress

The knitted dress Dressy is designed for women who want comfort to look sculptural, easy and quietly striking. Its soft barrel shape gives the body room to move, while the mid-calf length creates a calm, elongated silhouette that feels more considered than a simple knit tunic.

Turn the dress around and the mood changes: four fine contrast lines run vertically down the back, adding a clean graphic detail to this cashmere knitted dress. With two side pockets, a rolled hem and a round shaped back vent, Dressy brings together ease, movement and women’s luxury knitwear in one distinctive piece.

Why This Knitted Dress Has Such Quiet Drama

  • Barrel shape gives the dress an easy sculptural outline
  • Mid-calf length creates a graceful, wearable dress silhouette
  • Boat-shaped rib neckline softens the upper body without feeling too open
  • Three-quarter sleeves keep the garment practical and elegant
  • Two side pockets add everyday function without disturbing the clean front
  • Four fine vertical stripes at the back create a subtle graphic surprise
  • Rolled hem and round back vent help the dress move naturally
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth, softness and breathable comfort

Dressy is shaped like a soft knitted column with gentle volume through the body. The barrel shape gives it a rounded, modern outline rather than a close fit, making the dress comfortable while still looking intentionally designed.

The neckline is wide and softly structured, with a 6cm rib detail that gives the top edge a little definition. The three-quarter sleeves keep the dress feeling lighter than a full winter style, while the rolled hem avoids a heavy finish at the bottom.

The back is where the design becomes especially memorable. Four fine vertical contrast stripes run down the centre back, creating a long line that draws the eye and adds movement to the mid-calf length. The round shaped vent at the back helps the dress fall and move with ease.

Dressy is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings softness and a refined hand feel, while the lambswool adds natural warmth, structure and resilience.

This cashmere lambswool dress feels cosy without looking heavy. The knit has enough body to support the barrel shape, but the drape remains soft and wearable, so the garment feels relaxed rather than stiff.

The result is a luxury knitwear dress that can be worn across seasons with boots, simple flats, a long coat or a fine layer underneath when extra warmth is needed.

A knitted dress is a clever wardrobe piece because it gives the softness of knitwear with the ease of a complete outfit. Dressy does not need complicated styling; its shape, neckline, pockets and back stripe detail already give it personality.

The barrel silhouette makes it different from a straight sweater dress. It has more volume, more movement and a more artistic feel, while the mid-calf length keeps the look elegant.

For anyone who enjoys cashmere knitwear but wants something more expressive than a jumper, this boat neck knitted dress offers warmth, comfort and a strong design point of view.

Dressy is for women who like relaxed clothes with presence. It suits those who want a dress that feels easy on the body but still looks finished enough for lunch, travel, gallery days, relaxed workwear or quiet evenings out.

The one-size shape is generous without feeling careless, making it useful for layering and comfortable for long wear. The side pockets make it practical, while the back stripe detail keeps it far from ordinary.

This is a knitted dress for someone who prefers understated drama: simple from the front, distinctive from behind and soft all the way through.

To keep your Dressy knitted dress soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the back stripe detail
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, pockets, vent and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally, away from strong direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging for long periods to protect the dress length and shoulder shape

What makes Dressy a knitted dress?

Dressy is a mid-calf knitted dress made from a cashmere and lambswool blend. It has a boat-shaped neckline, three-quarter sleeves, side pockets, a rolled hem and a soft barrel silhouette.

How does the barrel shape fit?

The barrel shape gives the dress gentle volume through the body rather than a straight or fitted outline. It is designed to feel comfortable, relaxed and sculptural.

Is this dress fitted at the waist?

No. Dressy is not a waist-fitted dress. The shape is loose and fluid, giving it an easy modern feel and making it comfortable for layering.

What is special about the back of the dress?

The back has four fine vertical contrast stripes and a round shaped vent. These details add movement, length and a distinctive finish when viewed from behind.

Does the knitted dress have pockets?

Yes. Dressy has two side pockets, adding practical detail while keeping the front of the dress clean and minimal.

What neckline does Dressy have?

Dressy has a boat-shaped neckline with a 6cm rib detail. It gives the dress a soft, classic top line without feeling too open.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. The sleeves are three-quarter length, which helps the dress feel lighter and easier to wear across different seasons.

Is this a warm dress?

Yes. The blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool gives natural warmth, while the breathable knit helps the dress remain comfortable indoors.

How can I style a cashmere knitted dress?

Wear it with boots and a long coat for a clean winter look, with simple flats for relaxed days, or layered over a fine long-sleeve top when extra warmth is needed.

Is the mid-calf length easy to wear?

Yes. The mid-calf length gives coverage and elegance while the round back vent helps the dress move more easily.

How should I care for the rolled hem?

After washing, gently reshape the rolled hem while damp and dry the dress flat. Avoid hanging it wet, as this can stretch the length.

What makes this different from a jumper dress?

Dressy has a more considered dress shape, with mid-calf length, side pockets, back stripes and a round shaped vent. It feels like a complete garment rather than an oversized jumper.

Ivy Organic Cotton Jumper – Textured Envelope Neck Knit

The organic cotton jumper with real presence, Ivy brings a sculptural easy shape together with a beautifully tactile horizontal knit. Made from 100% organic cotton, it has a softly structured handle, an open envelope neckline and grown-on sleeves that give the whole piece a relaxed, contemporary line.

Ivy is designed for comfort without losing shape. The wide neckline sits cleanly across the shoulders, while the generous body falls with a soft swing rather than clinging. Side vents add movement at the hem, and the shorter sleeve length keeps the heavier cotton knit feeling fresh, modern and easy to wear.

Knitted in a substantial 4 gauge / 10 ply organic cotton, Ivy has visible texture and natural weight. It is the kind of jumper that can anchor simple outfits beautifully, bringing colour, craft and comfort into everyday dressing.

Why Reese Is Such An Easy Organic Cotton Jumper

  • Ivy has a generous, easy body that drapes away from the frame without feeling shapeless.
  • The envelope neckline gives the jumper a clean, open upper line.
  • Grown-on sleeves soften the shoulder and create a relaxed sculptural silhouette.
  • The horizontal textured knit gives the surface depth and a beautifully tactile handle.
  • Side vents prevent the heavier cotton from sitting heavily at the hip.

Ivy is defined by its envelope neckline, which sits wide and soft rather than close to the neck. This open line balances the generous body and gives the jumper an elegant, modern ease. The grown-on sleeves flow directly from the shoulder, creating a smooth curve through the upper arm and a natural drape through the sides.

With a 63cm chest measurement and a 60cm body length, Ivy is cut to feel relaxed and airy on the body. The 48cm sleeve length works with the grown-on construction, giving the sleeve a gentle bracelet-to-three-quarter feel rather than a traditional long fitted sleeve. Side vents open the hem so the jumper can move easily over trousers, denim or linen.

The 4 gauge / 10 ply organic cotton gives Ivy its distinctive weight and texture. The horizontal knit has a raised, tactile surface that feels more substantial than a fine cotton sweater, while the pure organic cotton keeps it breathable and comfortable against the skin.

Let Ivy be the focal point of simple outfits. Wear it with pale denim for a clean everyday look, wide-leg trousers for a more architectural shape, or a straight skirt when you want the open neckline and textured surface to feel more polished. The side vents make it easy to layer without adding bulk at the hem.

Machine wash Ivy gently according to the care label and reshape it while damp, smoothing the envelope neckline, sleeve edges and side vents back into place. Dry flat where possible so the heavier organic cotton knit keeps its shape. Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line and textured surface.

Why does Ivy feel more substantial than some cotton jumpers?

Ivy is knitted in 4 gauge / 10 ply organic cotton, giving it a heavier, more textured handle with visible horizontal structure.

What is an envelope neckline?

An envelope neckline is an open, softly folded neckline that creates a wide boat-like shape across the upper body.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. Ivy has grown-on sleeves with a 48cm measurement, so they sit shorter and more relaxed than a classic full-length sleeve.

Does Ivy have side vents?

Yes. The side vents open the hem slightly, helping the jumper move well and sit comfortably over different waistlines.

Is Ivy suitable for layering?

Yes. The relaxed shape can sit over a fine base layer, although the envelope neckline also looks clean worn simply on its own.

How should I care for the heavier cotton knit?

Wash gently, reshape while damp and dry flat where possible. Folding is better than hanging, as it helps the heavier knit keep its form.
