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.

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.

 

Cardigan Features

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction
  • 15 small mother-of-pearl buttons
  • Contrast trim at neckline, placket, cuffs and hem
  • Button-through front
  • Soft rounded neckline
  • Rolled edge finish
  • Smooth knit surface
  • Available in S/M and M/L

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.

Does the cardigan have buttons?

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.
