James Men’s Cashmere Blend Gilet

James is a men’s cashmere blend gilet designed as a softer, more refined alternative to a padded bodywarmer. Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, it brings comfortable warmth through the body while leaving the arms free for easy movement and clean layering.

The ribbed stand collar frames a full-length brass zip, while washable synthetic suede trim follows the fastening and armholes to give the sleeveless shape a precise outline. Two discreet side-entry pockets add useful storage without interrupting the smooth knitted front.

Its 8 gauge / 3 ply construction gives James enough body to hold the collar, pockets and straight hem neatly, yet it remains comfortable over a shirt or fine jumper and streamlined beneath a coat. It is a practical layer for work, travel, weekends and changeable weather.

Why James Is More Useful Than a Padded Bodywarmer

  • Knitted construction feels softer and less bulky than padded outerwear
  • Sleeveless shape keeps the arms free while warming the body
  • Full zip allows quick temperature adjustment indoors and outside
  • Stand collar adds coverage without requiring a scarf
  • Side pockets make the design practical for everyday wear
  • Regular proportions work over shirts and fine knitwear
  • Streamlined body fits comfortably beneath a coat or tailored jacket

James is built around a full-length brass zip that creates a strong vertical line through the front. The fastening makes the gilet easier to adjust than a pullover vest: wear it open, partially closed or zipped to the top depending on the setting.

The collar is worked in a close rib so it rises cleanly without becoming stiff. Washable synthetic suede trim runs beside the zip and around the armholes, defining the edges and protecting the knitted outline from looking unfinished.

Two side-entry pockets sit discreetly near the lower body. Their openings are integrated into the side shaping, so they remain useful without adding bulky patch-pocket detail to the front.

James is knitted from Ochre’s signature 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. Cashmere contributes a smoother, softer handle, while lambswool gives the yarn warmth, body and the resilience needed to support a zip, collar and pockets.

The 8 gauge / 3 ply construction gives this cashmere lambswool gilet a balanced midweight character. It feels more substantial than a very fine vest, but it does not have the rigid volume of a padded bodywarmer.

Read more in our cashmere mix guide or explore the full cashmere and lambswool collection.

James is available in S/M, M/L and XL. The chest width increases from 54cm to 58cm and 62cm, while the armhole increases from 26cm to 27cm and 28cm to accommodate a thicker base layer in the larger sizes.

The body lengths are intentionally close at 65cm, 66cm and 67cm. This keeps the gilet compact and balanced rather than allowing the larger size to become disproportionately long.

For the strongest fit decision, compare James with a gilet you already own. Measure it flat and consider whether you intend to wear a shirt, fine jumper or heavier knit underneath.

For work, layer James over a shirt or fine roll neck with tailored trousers. The brass zip and contrast trim give the outfit definition without the sporty volume of a quilted gilet.

At weekends, wear it over a long-sleeve T-shirt or crew neck jumper with denim, corduroy or chinos. Leaving the zip partly open keeps the styling relaxed and allows the underlayer to remain visible.

James also works as a compact middle layer beneath a coat. Browse more men’s knitwear or see our knit gilet layering guide.

To protect the cashmere-lambswool knit, brass zip, side pockets and synthetic suede trim:

  • Follow the garment care label first
  • Dry clean or hand wash cool as directed
  • Close the zip before washing
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press excess water out carefully with a clean towel
  • Reshape the collar, armholes, pockets and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat and strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging for long periods
  • Remove occasional pilling gently with a knitwear comb

What is the James gilet made from?

James is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, with washable synthetic suede trim.

What does 8 gauge / 3 ply mean?

It describes the knit construction. For James, it creates a balanced midweight fabric with enough body to support the collar, zip and pockets while remaining easy to layer.

Does the James gilet have pockets?

Yes. It has two discreet side-entry pockets integrated near the lower sides.

Is the trim real suede?

No. The contrast edging is washable synthetic suede, chosen for practical care and a clean finish.

Is James warmer than a jumper?

It concentrates warmth around the body while leaving the arms free. The experience will depend on the layer underneath and the conditions in which it is worn.

Can I wear James under a jacket?

Yes. Its sleeveless, streamlined construction is designed to sit beneath tailored jackets and coats without adding bulk through the arms.

How does the James cashmere blend gilet fit?

It has a clean regular fit intended for layering over shirts and fine knitwear.

Which size should I choose?

Compare the chest, length and armhole measurements with a gilet you already own and allow room for the underlayer you expect to wear most often.

How should James be stored?

Store it clean, dry and folded to protect the shoulder line, collar and knitted body.

Kitty Cashmere Blend Relaxed Jumper – Lightweight Drop Shoulder Knitwear

The Kitty cashmere blend relaxed jumper is made for women who like knitwear to feel easy, soft and beautifully uncomplicated. It has a loose, fluid shape with dropped shoulders, a wide crew neckline and a longer back hem, giving it that effortless throw-on feeling while still looking considered.

Knitted from a premium 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Kitty feels light on the body but warm in touch. The front stays clean and minimal, while the vertical rib panel at the back adds a subtle design detail that makes the jumper interesting from behind as well as the front.

This is relaxed fit knitwear with a softer attitude: simple enough for everyday wear, refined enough for luxury layering, and especially useful when you want comfort without losing shape.

Why Kitty’s Relaxed Shape Stands Out

  • Premium 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend for softness and natural warmth
  • 12gg / 2-ply knit for a finer, lighter feel
  • Relaxed body shape that moves easily rather than clinging
  • Dropped shoulders for a soft, casual drape
  • Wide crew neckline that feels clean and open
  • Longer back hem for extra movement and gentle coverage
  • Vertical ribbed back panel for a quiet design detail
  • Rolled edges for a softer, less formal finish
  • One-size silhouette designed for easy layering

Kitty is designed with a calm front and a more detailed back, which gives the jumper a lovely balance. From the front, it looks clean, simple and easy. From the back, the vertical rib panel adds texture and gives the silhouette a more considered finish.

The dropped shoulders are what give Kitty its relaxed character. Instead of sitting sharply at the shoulder line, the knit falls softly, creating a gentle drape through the sleeves and body. It feels comfortable without looking careless.

The longer back hem is another important detail. It gives extra coverage and creates movement when worn over trousers, denim or layered shirts. The wide crew neckline keeps the look fresh and simple, making this drop shoulder jumper easy to wear on its own or with a fine layer underneath.

Kitty is knitted in a 12gg / 2-ply cashmere blend, giving it a lighter and finer feel than heavier winter knitwear. It is soft, breathable and comfortable indoors, while still warm enough to feel cosy on cooler days.

The cashmere adds smoothness and luxury, while the lambswool brings resilience, warmth and shape retention. This balance is especially useful in a relaxed jumper, because the fabric needs to drape softly without losing its form.

The rolled neckline and hem keep the finish natural rather than structured. The result is luxury knitwear that feels effortless, wearable and quietly special.

A cashmere blend relaxed jumper is a beautiful choice when you want softness, warmth and ease in one piece. Kitty has the comfort of a favourite everyday knit, but the fabric blend and back rib detail make it feel more elevated than a basic jumper.

The relaxed fit gives room to move, while the fine 12gg knit keeps the shape light rather than bulky. It is ideal for layering across the seasons and works especially well in a UK wardrobe, where knitwear often needs to be warm, breathable and easy to adapt.

For anyone searching for a women’s luxury sweater in the UK, Kitty offers a soft, modern alternative to heavier knits. It feels relaxed, but it still has the quality and finish expected from premium knitwear.

This jumper is for women who like their knitwear soft, practical and a little understated. It suits those who prefer relaxed fit knitwear, natural fibres and easy shapes that do not need complicated styling.

Wear Kitty with jeans for a simple everyday look, with wide-leg trousers for a softer modern silhouette, or over a crisp shirt so the longer back hem adds depth and movement. It also layers beautifully under coats because the knit is lightweight rather than bulky.

Kitty is a good choice when you want a cashmere jumper women can reach for again and again: comfortable at home, polished enough for daytime plans, and easy to dress up with jewellery, boots or tailored pieces.

To keep your Kitty cashmere blend relaxed jumper soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the wide neckline, rolled edges and back hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulder shape

What makes Kitty a cashmere blend relaxed jumper?

Kitty is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, with a relaxed one-size shape, dropped shoulders and a longer back hem. This gives it softness, warmth and an easy modern silhouette.

Is Kitty a lightweight jumper?

Yes. Kitty is knitted in a 12gg / 2-ply construction, so it feels lighter and finer than a chunky winter jumper while still offering natural warmth.

What is special about the back of the jumper?

The back has a vertical rib panel that adds texture and visual length. It is a subtle detail, but it makes the jumper feel more designed than a plain relaxed knit.

Does the longer back hem give extra coverage?

Yes. The back length is longer than the front, giving soft coverage and creating gentle movement when worn over trousers, denim or layered shirts.

Is this a drop shoulder jumper?

Yes. Kitty has dropped shoulders, which help the jumper fall naturally and give it a relaxed, easy drape.

Can I layer Kitty over a shirt?

Yes. The generous chest width, dropped shoulders and longer back hem make it very easy to layer over shirts, fine roll necks or simple base layers.

Is the neckline close-fitting?

No. Kitty has a wide crew neckline, so it sits more openly around the collarbone than a tight crew neck, while still giving comfortable coverage.

Which colour is easier to wear?

Chalk Blue feels fresh and soft for everyday styling. Monet Pink is a little warmer and more expressive, but still gentle enough to wear with neutrals.

Is Kitty suitable for relaxed fit knitwear lovers?

Yes. Kitty is ideal if you like knitwear that feels loose, soft and comfortable, but still has thoughtful details such as the ribbed back panel and high-low hem.

Can this jumper look smart as well as casual?

Yes. Wear it with tailored trousers, simple jewellery and leather shoes for a polished daytime look, or keep it casual with denim and trainers.

How should I store this jumper?

Store Kitty folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the dropped shoulders, rolled edges and relaxed shape over time.

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. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why These Long Cable Fingerless Gloves Work So Well

  • 28cm length helps cover the wrist and lower arm
  • Fingerless shape keeps hands warm while leaving fingertips free
  • Cable texture adds detail without making the gloves feel bulky
  • Soft cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth with a gentle handle
  • One size design makes them easy to gift
  • Ideal as knitted wrist warmers for indoor and outdoor use
  • Practical for typing, driving, browsing, dog walking and market days
  • A useful luxury knit accessory for colder months

The cable knit pattern gives these long cable fingerless gloves a tactile surface that feels traditional, cosy and beautifully suited to winter dressing. The length is the detail that makes them especially useful: at 28cm, they extend beyond the hand to warm the wrist and lower arm, helping to close the chilly gap that can sit between a sleeve and a glove.

Because the fingertips remain open, the gloves are easy to wear during the parts of the day when normal gloves can feel inconvenient. They bring warmth where it is most needed while allowing your hands to stay active.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives these fingerless gloves their soft, warm character. Lambswool brings natural insulation and resilience, while cashmere adds a smoother, more luxurious feel against the skin.

The result is a pair of cable knit fingerless gloves that feels light enough for everyday wear but still comforting when the weather turns cold. They are breathable, tactile and easy to reach for again and again.

Wear them with a coat, a chunky jumper or a simple long-sleeved top whenever you want extra warmth without covering the fingertips. The long wrist warmer shape works especially well under wider sleeves, cropped sleeves or relaxed knitwear, adding a quiet layer of comfort without changing the whole outfit.

They are also useful indoors: for writing at a desk, working in a cool studio, reading, travelling, or simply keeping hands warm while still being able to move freely.

Small accessories often become the pieces that make winter dressing easier. These knitted hand warmers are compact enough to keep in a bag, soft enough to wear for hours and practical enough to solve the everyday problem of cold hands without losing dexterity.

The cable detail gives them a crafted look, while the clean fingerless shape keeps them simple and timeless. They make a thoughtful gift, but they are just as easy to justify as a useful treat for yourself.

To keep your long cable fingerless gloves soft and beautifully shaped, wash them gently by hand in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing the knit, as this can disturb the cable texture and stretch the shape.

After washing, press out excess water in a towel and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded when not in use, and refresh carefully with a cashmere comb if light bobbling appears over time.

How long are these fingerless gloves?

They are 28cm long, giving generous coverage over the wrist and lower arm.

Are these gloves suitable for using a phone?

Yes. The fingerless design keeps your fingertips free, making them practical for phones, keys, writing and everyday tasks.

What makes them warmer than short wrist warmers?

The longer 28cm shape helps cover more of the wrist and lower arm, which is often where cold air enters between sleeves and gloves.

Are they a good gift?

Yes. The one size design, soft cashmere and lambswool blend, and practical fingerless shape make them an easy luxury knit accessory to give.

How should I store them?

Fold them flat in a drawer or knitwear bag, away from direct sunlight and moths, so the cable knit keeps its shape between wears.

Why This Polo Neck Jumper Feels Distinctive

  • Oversized polo neck jumper silhouette with a calm, modern drape
  • Fine ribbed neck gives height and softness without stiffness
  • Wide body creates movement and easy layering space
  • Ribbed lower sleeves balance the generous body shape
  • Side slit opening helps the hem sit naturally over different outfits
  • 12 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives a lighter, smoother finish
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend offers warmth, softness and resilience
  • Designed as relaxed luxury knitwear for everyday use

Torvi has a distinctive balance between volume and control. The body is deliberately generous, giving the jumper a soft poncho-like ease, while the ribbed lower sleeves create a more defined line at the arms.

The polo neck is fine ribbed rather than bulky, so it stands neatly around the neck without feeling heavy. From the side, the jumper shows a relaxed fall through the body with a clean slit opening that gives the hem room to move.

This shape works especially well when you want comfort but still want the garment to look designed. The smooth front keeps the jumper minimal, while the rib texture at the neck and sleeves adds subtle structure.

Torvi is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings a soft, smooth touch, while the lambswool gives warmth, bounce and dependable shape.

The 12 Gauge / 2 Ply construction creates a finer knit than heavier winter pieces. It feels warm enough for cool days, yet light enough to layer under coats or wear comfortably indoors.

The result is a cashmere lambswool jumper with an easy, elegant feel: soft on the body, breathable through the day and practical for regular wear.

An oversized polo neck jumper is a useful piece when you want warmth around the neck without the close fit of a traditional fitted knit. Torvi gives you that cosy high-neck comfort, but the body remains loose, fluid and easy.

The ribbed neck and fine rib sleeve sections make the design feel more considered than a simple oversized jumper. These details give shape where it matters, while the body stays soft and relaxed.

It is a strong choice for layered winter dressing, quiet weekend outfits, travel days and simple wardrobe combinations where texture and proportion do the work.

Torvi is for women who like knitwear to feel soft, spacious and refined. It suits relaxed wardrobes, natural-fibre dressing and anyone who prefers an easy silhouette rather than a close-fitting jumper.

Wear it with slim trousers to balance the generous body, with wide-leg shapes for a more sculptural look, or over a fine base layer when extra warmth is needed.

This is relaxed fit knitwear with a clean luxury mood: understated, warm and comfortable, but still interesting in shape.

To keep your Torvi polo neck jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the jumper inside out before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the polo neck, ribbed sleeves and side slits while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the oversized shape

What makes Torvi a polo neck jumper?

Torvi has a fine ribbed high neck that sits softly around the neck. It gives warmth and structure while keeping the overall jumper relaxed and easy to wear.

Is the Torvi jumper oversized?

Yes. Torvi has a generous body and wide chest measurement, creating a relaxed oversized silhouette with a soft drape.

Does the polo neck feel bulky?

No. The neck is fine ribbed, so it gives gentle height without the heavy feel of a thick roll neck.

What is special about the sleeves?

The lower sleeves are made with 30cm fine ribbed sections. This gives the arms a neater shape and creates contrast against the loose body.

Is this a cashmere blend polo neck?

Yes. Torvi is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving softness, warmth and breathable comfort.

What does 12 Gauge / 2 Ply mean for this jumper?

It means the knit is fine, lightweight and smooth rather than chunky. The 2 Ply yarn gives stability while keeping the jumper easy to layer.

Why does the jumper have a side slit opening?

The side slit helps the wide body sit comfortably over trousers, denim or layered pieces. It also gives the hem more movement.

Can this jumper be worn under a coat?

Yes. Although the shape is oversized, the fine 12 Gauge knit keeps the fabric light enough to layer under relaxed coats and jackets.

Is Torvi suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend feels luxurious, but the simple shape and practical warmth make it easy for regular use.

How should I style an oversized polo neck jumper?

Pair it with slimmer trousers for balance, wear it over denim for easy casual dressing, or style it with wide-leg trousers for a more modern silhouette.

How do I keep the polo neck in shape?

After washing, gently reshape the ribbed neck while damp and dry the jumper flat. Avoid hanging it, as this can stretch the shoulders and body.

What makes Torvi different from a standard jumper?

Torvi combines a high ribbed polo neck, oversized body, ribbed lower sleeves and side slit opening, giving it more shape and detail than a plain everyday knit.

Rina Boat Neck Jumper

The boat neck jumper Rina is made for effortless shape: clean across the neckline, softly square through the body and finished with rolled edges that give the knit a relaxed, modern line. It has the ease of a favourite everyday jumper, but the open boat neck and curved hem make it feel more considered than a simple basic.

Knitted in a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Rina offers the gentle warmth and breathable comfort expected from luxury knitwear. The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction gives it a soft midweight feel, while the long sleeves and relaxed body make it useful for layering through changing seasons.

This cashmere blend boat neck jumper is ideal when you want knitwear that sits lightly around the neck, falls smoothly over the body and works with both casual and polished outfits. The square bodice, rolled sleeve ends and softly shaped hem create a quiet design detail without making the jumper feel fussy.

Why This Boat Neck Jumper Has Such Easy Shape

  • Boat neckline gives a soft, open shape without feeling low
  • Square bodice creates a clean drape through the body
  • Rolled hems add movement at the neckline, sleeves and lower edge
  • Long sleeves make it easy to wear across seasons
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives warmth without heavy bulk
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend feels soft, breathable and naturally warm
  • Relaxed fit works with denim, trousers, skirts and layered outfits
  • A refined alternative to a plain crew neck jumper

Rina is shaped around a gentle boat neckline that sits wider than a crew neck, creating a clean line across the collarbone. It gives the jumper a lighter, more open feeling while still keeping the look simple and wearable.

The square bodice is one of the details that gives this jumper its character. Rather than clinging closely, the body falls in a soft, easy line, making it comfortable without losing shape. From the side view, the relaxed drape and rolled lower edge give the knit a fluid finish.

The rolled hems are deliberately understated. They soften the neckline, cuffs and hem, adding a slightly undone edge that makes the jumper feel modern rather than formal. This is a rolled hem jumper with quiet detail, designed to be worn often.

Rina is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. Cashmere gives the knit a soft touch and a more luxurious feel, while lambswool adds warmth, resilience and body.

The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction creates a comfortable balance between softness and structure. It is not a heavy winter knit, but it has enough substance to feel cosy and enough breathability to work indoors or under outerwear.

The surface has a smooth, natural texture that lets the shape do the work. This makes Rina a versatile cashmere lambswool jumper for women who prefer clean design, tactile fibres and easy everyday luxury knitwear.

A cashmere blend boat neck jumper is a strong choice when you want a neckline that feels more elegant than a basic round neck but easier to wear than a deep V. The boat neck opens the upper body gently and pairs well with simple jewellery, scarves or clean tailoring.

Rina also offers a different proportion from a standard jumper. The square bodice and rolled hem give it a softer outline, while the long sleeves keep it practical for cooler days.

If your wardrobe already has classic jumpers, Rina adds a more relaxed, design-led option without becoming too trend-led. It is calm, useful and quietly distinctive.

Rina is for someone who likes knitwear that feels relaxed but still intentional. It suits women who prefer soft natural fibres, uncluttered design and pieces that can move easily between everyday wear and smarter styling.

Wear it with straight-leg denim for a clean weekend look, with wide-leg trousers for easy polish, or with a skirt when you want the boat neckline to feel softer and more feminine.

This long sleeve knit jumper is also useful for travel and transitional weather because it offers warmth without feeling bulky. It is simple to style, comfortable to wear and distinctive in the details.

To keep your Rina boat neck jumper soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn inside out before washing to protect the rolled hems
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the boat neckline, sleeves and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line and square bodice shape

What makes Rina a boat neck jumper?

Rina has a wider neckline that sits softly across the upper body rather than close to the base of the neck. This gives the jumper an elegant, open shape while keeping it easy to wear.

Is the boat neckline very wide?

The neckline is designed to feel open but practical. It gives a softer line than a crew neck without becoming difficult to layer or style.

What is special about the square bodice?

The square bodice gives Rina its clean, relaxed outline. It lets the jumper fall naturally from the shoulders and creates an easy shape through the body.

Does this jumper have ribbed hems?

No. Rina is finished with rolled hems rather than deep ribbing. This gives the neckline, cuffs and lower edge a softer, more fluid look.

Is Rina a relaxed fit jumper?

Yes. It is relaxed through the body, with enough shape to look neat but enough ease to feel comfortable for everyday wear.

What is the jumper made from?

Rina is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving a balance of softness, warmth, breathability and natural structure.

Can I wear this jumper under a jacket?

Yes. The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit has warmth without heavy bulk, so it can sit comfortably under coats, jackets and gilets.

How should I style a rolled hem jumper?

Keep the styling simple so the rolled edges can show. Denim, tailored trousers, soft skirts and clean layers all work well with the relaxed finish.

Will the rolled edges flatten after washing?

The rolled edges are part of the construction. After washing, reshape them gently while damp and dry the jumper flat to help them sit naturally.

Is this suitable for smart casual outfits?

Yes. The boat neckline and clean square shape make Rina easy to dress up with trousers, simple jewellery or a tailored coat.

Is the fabric heavy?

No. The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives a soft midweight feel, offering comfort and warmth without becoming bulky.

How should I store this jumper?

Store it folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the shoulder line, neckline and relaxed body shape over time.

Begonia Sweater – A-Line Knitwear

The Begonia sweater brings a calm, easy shape to everyday luxury knitwear. It is designed with a neat round neckline, a softly boxy front and a longer back panel, creating a silhouette that feels simple at first glance but much more considered when worn.

The front sits shorter and cleaner, while the back falls lower with extra width for a gentle A-line movement. This gives the sweater a relaxed outline without making it feel oversized or heavy. The ribbed hem and cuffs add texture and a little structure, helping the knit sit beautifully around the body and wrists.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend sweater feels soft, breathable and warm. Begonia is an easy piece for women who want comfort, movement and quiet detail in one refined knit.

Why This Sweater Has Such an Easy Shape

  • Shorter front creates a light, modern proportion
  • Longer back gives coverage without adding bulk at the front
  • A-line cut lets the sweater move softly away from the body
  • Round neck band keeps the neckline clean and understated
  • Ribbed hem adds texture while helping the front sit neatly
  • Long sleeves with deep ribbed cuffs give a balanced finish
  • Cashmere lambswool blend gives softness with everyday resilience
  • A refined choice for relaxed styling, travel and layered dressing

Begonia is shaped around contrast in proportion. The front bodice has a clean boxy line, while the back is wider and longer, giving the sweater a softer swing from the side and back view.

The round neckline is finished with a slim 1cm band, so the top of the garment looks neat without feeling tight or formal. This simple neckline lets the A-line shape and hem detail become the main features.

The 9cm rib at the cuffs and hem gives the sweater subtle texture. It adds a grounded finish to the otherwise smooth knit, creating a design that feels relaxed but not plain.

Begonia is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the sweater a soft luxury touch, while the lambswool adds warmth, body and natural durability.

The knit feels cosy but breathable, making it comfortable for regular wear. It is warm enough for cooler days, yet refined enough to layer under a coat without feeling too bulky.

This cashmere lambswool sweater has a practical softness: gentle on the skin, easy in shape and built for the kind of wardrobe that values natural fibres and long-lasting comfort.

A cashmere blend sweater is a useful choice when you want softness and warmth, but also enough structure for the garment to keep its shape. Begonia uses this balance beautifully.

The cashmere brings the smooth hand feel associated with luxury knitwear, while the lambswool gives the piece a little more strength and everyday wearability. Together, they create a sweater that feels special without being too delicate.

The longer back and A-line cut make Begonia especially easy to wear over trousers, denim or simple layers, giving the outfit a gentle sense of movement.

Begonia is for women who prefer knitwear with quiet detail rather than obvious decoration. It suits those who like a soft round neck, long sleeves and an easy shape that does not cling to the body.

The relaxed fit works well for everyday dressing, but the longer back and ribbed hem give the sweater enough design interest to feel polished. It can be styled casually with denim or made cleaner with tailored trousers and simple shoes.

This is a strong piece for a natural-fibre wardrobe: soft, useful, comfortable and different from a standard straight-hem knit.

To keep your Begonia sweater soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash inside out to protect the knit surface
  • Do not wring, twist or rub the fabric
  • Reshape the round neck, ribbed cuffs and longer back hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the A-line shape

What makes Begonia a sweater with a different shape?

Begonia has a shorter, boxy front and a longer, wider back. This creates an A-line sweater shape that moves more softly than a standard straight-hem jumper.

Is the neckline high or open?

The neckline is a round neck with a slim 1cm band. It sits cleanly around the neck without feeling high, tight or bulky.

Does the longer back give extra coverage?

Yes. The back length is longer than the front, giving gentle coverage while keeping the front of the sweater light and easy to style.

Is Begonia fitted?

Begonia is not designed as a close-fitting sweater. It has an easy one-size shape, a boxy front and a wider back for relaxed movement.

What is the sweater made from?

Begonia is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving a soft cashmere blend sweater feel with natural warmth and structure.

What does the ribbed hem do?

The ribbed hem adds texture and helps the garment sit neatly. It also gives contrast against the smoother body of the knit.

Can this sweater be worn with wide-leg trousers?

Yes. The shorter front works well with wide-leg trousers because it does not add too much bulk around the hip line.

Is it suitable for layering?

Yes. Begonia layers well over fine tops and under coats. The round neck and soft body make it easy to wear through changing seasons.

How should I dry this sweater after washing?

Dry it flat and gently reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the shoulders and change the drape.

Why choose Begonia over a plain sweater?

Begonia has more shape than a plain sweater because of its longer back, wider rear panel, ribbed hem and A-line movement. It still feels simple, but the details make it more considered.

Mac Cable Jumper – Collared Knit with Soft Cable Texture

The Mac cable jumper brings a more tailored mood to soft knitwear. A neat knitted collar opens into a clean V shape, giving the piece the feeling of a relaxed polo without the formality of a shirt. Across the body and sleeves, the cable texture adds depth and movement while keeping the overall look calm, wearable and refined.

This is a jumper for days when a plain knit feels too simple, but a bold statement piece feels too much. The slightly cropped body, long sleeves and ribbed hem give Mac a balanced shape that sits beautifully with trousers, skirts or denim.

  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply
  • Collared cable jumper with open neckline

Why This Cable Jumper Has Quiet Impact

  • The collar gives this cable jumper a sharper, more dressed-up neckline
  • Vertical cable lines add texture without making the knit feel heavy or busy
  • The open neck creates an easy frame for jewellery, scarves or a fine base layer
  • A shorter ribbed hem keeps the shape modern and easy to style
  • Long sleeves and a soft shoulder line make the piece comfortable for everyday wear
  • The cable pattern continues onto the sleeves for a complete, considered finish

Mac has a softly structured shape: relaxed through the body, neat at the hem and gently open at the neck. The collar is the first detail you notice. It sits flat and clean, then opens into a simple V that gives the jumper a lighter, more polished character than a classic crew neck.

The cable work is vertical and evenly spaced, creating subtle rhythm across the knit. From the front view, the texture lengthens the body and adds interest; from the side, the dropped shoulder and long sleeve give the piece its easy, lived-in comfort. The ribbed hem anchors the jumper without pulling it tight.

The appeal of Mac is in the contrast between softness and definition. The cable pattern gives the surface a sculpted feel, while the knit itself remains gentle and wearable against the body.

The handle appears smooth, warm and naturally textured, making this a strong choice for women who like knitwear with visible craft. The ribbed cuffs and hem add stability, while the collar gives the cable knit jumper a more elevated finish.

A cable jumper is a classic, but Mac gives it a more modern point of view. Instead of a heavy heritage shape, it uses a cleaner collar, open neckline and shorter proportion to make the texture feel fresh.

It works when you want knitwear that feels considered without needing extra styling. The cable detail brings richness, the collar adds shape, and the relaxed fit keeps the whole piece easy rather than formal.

Mac is for women who enjoy texture, but prefer knitwear that still feels understated. It suits wardrobes built around simple layers, natural fibres, soft tailoring and pieces that can move between casual and more polished dressing.

Wear it with wide-leg trousers for a clean silhouette, with denim for an everyday look, or layered over a fine camisole when you want the open collar to sit softly at the neckline.

To help your Mac cable jumper keep its shape and texture, treat it gently between wears:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a specialist wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the jumper inside out before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the cable knit surface
  • Press out excess water carefully in a towel
  • Reshape while damp and dry flat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears

What makes Mac a cable jumper?

Mac has raised vertical cable texture across the body and sleeves, giving the knit a more detailed surface than a plain jumper while still keeping the overall shape clean.

Is this cable jumper smart enough for everyday dressing?

Yes. The knitted collar and open neckline give Mac a polished feel, while the relaxed body keeps it comfortable enough for daily wear.

Does the collar feel like a shirt collar?

The collar has a shirt-inspired look, but it is knitted and soft, so it feels much more relaxed than a woven collar.

How does the shape fit?

From the images, Mac appears softly boxy with a slightly cropped length, long sleeves and a ribbed hem that sits neatly without looking tight.

Can I layer this collared cable jumper?

Yes. The open neckline works well over a light vest, camisole or fine base layer, especially if you want extra warmth without covering the collar detail.

How should I care for the cable texture?

Wash gently by hand or dry clean, reshape flat while damp and avoid hanging, as this helps protect the cable pattern, shoulders and ribbed hem.

Pesto Sweater – Relaxed Knit with Polo Collar

The Pesto sweater is made for warmth without stiffness: generous, soft, quietly structured and easy to wear over almost anything. Its square body gives the knit a calm architectural shape, while the polo collar adds height at the neckline without feeling tight or formal.

The surface has a subtle horizontal knit character that gives the fabric depth and a reassuring winter weight. Seen from the side, the dropped shoulder and relaxed sleeve line create a gentle, cocooning silhouette, while the rolled edge finish keeps the outline soft rather than heavy.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend sweater has the natural softness, warmth and breathability you want from luxury knitwear. Pesto is the kind of relaxed fit sweater that feels simple at first glance, then becomes the piece you keep reaching for when comfort, warmth and understated style all matter.

Why This Sweater Feels Special

  • Generous square shape gives the sweater a calm, easy outline
  • Polo collar adds warmth at the neck without the bulk of a full roll neck
  • Horizontal knit texture brings subtle movement to the surface
  • 7 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives a substantial, cosy handle
  • Dropped shoulders soften the fit and make layering feel effortless
  • Rolled sleeve edges keep the finish relaxed and tactile
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend balances softness, warmth and resilience
  • A useful piece for anyone who wants a relaxed fit sweater with quiet structure

Pesto is shaped with width and softness rather than close tailoring. The square body falls away from the frame, giving the sweater room to move while still keeping a clean, balanced outline.

The polo collar is one of the most important details. It sits upright enough to frame the neck, but it has a soft knitted feel rather than a sharp or restrictive finish. This makes the design warmer than a crew neck and easier than a high roll neck.

The sleeves fall from a relaxed shoulder line and finish with rolled edges. Together with the softly rounded hem, these details give Pesto a lived-in elegance that works especially well over slim trousers, relaxed denim or simple layered basics.

Pesto is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, a natural-fibre blend chosen for warmth, softness and everyday wearability. Cashmere gives the sweater its smooth, gentle touch, while lambswool adds bounce, insulation and structure.

The 7 Gauge / 6 Ply knit gives this piece a more substantial feel than a fine lightweight layer. It has reassuring warmth and body, but the relaxed silhouette keeps it comfortable rather than stiff.

The horizontal knit texture is subtle, yet it makes the surface feel richer and more considered. This is a cashmere lambswool sweater for colder days, easy weekends, travel layering and relaxed luxury dressing.

A polo collar sweater gives a softer alternative to a classic roll neck. It frames the neckline, adds warmth and brings a more relaxed attitude to winter knitwear.

Pesto is especially useful because its shape is generous but not messy. The square cut gives it presence, the collar gives it polish, and the rolled edges stop the design from feeling too formal.

If you want a sweater that feels warm, simple and quietly different from a standard crew neck, Pesto offers that balance beautifully.

Pesto is for women who like their knitwear easy, warm and unfussy, but still thoughtfully designed. It suits relaxed wardrobes, simple silhouettes and outfits built around texture rather than decoration.

Wear it over a fine base layer on cold days, with narrow trousers for contrast, or over soft denim when you want an off-duty look with a little more depth.

Its one-size shape makes it comfortable for layering, while the collar and horizontal knit detail give it enough character to stand alone.

To keep your Pesto sweater soft, warm and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a specialist wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash inside out to protect the knitted surface
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Reshape the collar, body and rolled sleeve edges while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally, away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder shape
  • Use a cashmere comb gently if natural pilling appears with wear

What makes Pesto a sweater rather than a standard jumper?

Pesto has the warmth and ease of a classic sweater, but the polo collar, square body and horizontal knit texture give it a more distinctive shape than a simple crew neck jumper.

Is Pesto a relaxed fit sweater?

Yes. Pesto is designed with a generous square shape and a one-size fit, giving it an easy drape through the body rather than a close or fitted outline.

How does the polo collar feel?

The collar gives gentle warmth around the neck without feeling as enclosed as a full roll neck. It is soft, knitted and relaxed, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

What is special about the horizontal knit?

The horizontal knit adds quiet texture across the surface, giving the sweater more depth while keeping the overall look simple and refined.

Is this a warm cashmere blend sweater?

Yes. The 7 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives Pesto a substantial feel, while the cashmere and lambswool blend provides natural warmth and softness.

Can Pesto be layered?

Yes. The square body gives room for a fine layer underneath, and the soft collar works well under coats without creating a stiff neckline.

What makes the rolled sleeve edge useful?

The rolled sleeve edge gives the knit a softer, more relaxed finish. It also keeps the design from looking too formal or structured.

Does the sweater have a close fit?

No. Pesto is intentionally generous through the body. It is designed to fall loosely and comfortably rather than sit close to the waist or bust.

How should I care for this cashmere lambswool sweater?

Hand wash cold or dry clean, use a wool or cashmere detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat. Store folded to protect the shoulders and collar.

What kind of wardrobe does Pesto suit?

Pesto suits relaxed luxury dressing: simple trousers, denim, soft layering pieces and cold-weather outfits where warmth and texture matter.

Paris Jumper – Boxy Cashmere Blend Jumper

The Paris jumper is a relaxed cashmere blend jumper with an easy box shape, soft round neckline and shorter sleeves that give it a lighter, more modern feeling. The cut is clean and roomy, with a broad body, dropped shoulders, ribbed trims and a subtle longer back that falls with a gentle curve.

Its beauty is in the proportion. Paris has enough width to drape without clinging, while the side vents and curved hem stop the silhouette from feeling heavy. The result is a polished everyday jumper that feels simple, warm and quietly different.

Knitted in a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Paris balances softness, warmth and natural breathability. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply structure gives the knit a fuller handle, making it a useful layer for days when you want comfort without a bulky long-sleeved sweater.

What Makes This Jumper Feel Different

  • Boxy jumper silhouette gives Paris its easy, modern outline
  • Short 3/4 sleeves make the shape feel lighter than a classic winter jumper
  • Ribbed round neckline frames the collarbone neatly
  • Dropped shoulders create a relaxed, unforced drape
  • Side vents help the hem sit cleanly over trousers, skirts or dresses
  • Longer back length adds quiet movement from the side profile
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives softness, warmth and natural texture
  • One-size fit is made to sit loosely rather than close to the body

Paris has a shape that feels almost architectural, but still soft. The body is wide and boxy, with dropped shoulders that allow the knit to fall naturally from the upper arm rather than sitting tightly at the shoulder point.

The front hem sits a little shorter, while the back drops lower for a graceful line when viewed from the side. Small side vents give the jumper space to move, so the ribbed hem does not pull or bunch around the hips.

The shorter sleeves are an important part of the design. They keep the jumper feeling fresh and easy to wear indoors, while the ribbed cuffs give the sleeve opening a neat finish.

Paris is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. Cashmere brings a soft, gentle touch against the skin, while lambswool adds warmth, body and a naturally woolly depth to the knit.

The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply construction gives this cashmere blend jumper more presence than a fine lightweight knit. It has enough substance to hold the boxy shape, while still feeling breathable and comfortable for daily wear.

The plain knit surface lets the proportion speak. Instead of heavy pattern or decoration, Paris relies on texture, drape and carefully placed ribbing.

Choose Paris when you want a jumper that feels relaxed but still considered. It is not a fitted basic, and it is not an oversized blanket shape either. The balance sits somewhere more useful: generous, simple and easy to style.

The longer back hem makes it especially flattering with slim trousers or straight denim, while the shorter front helps show the waistline of skirts and higher-rise trousers. It is the kind of piece that can look calm and minimal one day, then more expressive the next depending on how it is styled.

Paris works beautifully with long-sleeved tops, fine polo necks, crisp shirts, simple vests or dresses underneath. The shorter sleeve length allows another layer to show at the wrist, which gives the outfit more personality without adding bulk.

For an easy everyday look, wear this boxy jumper with wide-leg trousers and flat shoes. For something softer, layer it over a slip dress or a longer cotton shirt so the side vents and curved back hem can be seen.

To help your Paris jumper keep its soft cashmere lambswool feel and boxy shape, care for it gently:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar tones only
  • Do not twist, wring or rub the knit
  • Press out excess water carefully in a towel
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, side vents and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line

What kind of jumper is Paris?

Paris is a boxy cashmere blend jumper with a round neck, dropped shoulders, 3/4 sleeves, side vents and a longer back hem.

Is the Paris jumper fitted?

No. Paris has a relaxed one-size shape with a wide body. It is intended to drape softly rather than sit close to the body.

Why does Paris have a longer back?

The longer back gives the jumper a more fluid side profile and adds gentle coverage without making the front feel too long.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. Paris has shorter 3/4 sleeves. This makes the jumper feel lighter and also works well over shirts or fine long-sleeved layers.

What fabric is the Paris jumper made from?

Paris is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it a soft, warm and naturally breathable handle.

What does 8 Gauge / 4 Ply mean for this jumper?

It gives the knit a fuller, more substantial feel than a very fine gauge. This helps the jumper hold its boxy outline while staying comfortable to wear.

How should I style a boxy jumper?

Try it with slim trousers, straight jeans, wide-leg trousers, a longer shirt or a simple dress. The side vents and longer back make it easy to layer.

Does the ribbed neckline sit high?

The neckline is a soft round neck rather than a high neck. The ribbing gives it definition while keeping the look clean and uncomplicated.

How do I care for Paris?

Hand wash cold or dry clean, reshape while damp and dry flat. Fold it for storage rather than hanging, so the dropped shoulders keep their shape.

Why Siggy Has Such an Easy Shape

  • Oversized jumper shape gives Siggy its relaxed, modern character
  • Short batwing sleeves create soft volume without heavy arm coverage
  • Scoop neckline keeps the upper line open and easy to layer
  • Deep side splits let the knit move naturally over trousers, skirts or dresses
  • Ribbed hem panels add weight and texture at the lower edge
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend brings softness, warmth and natural resilience

Siggy is cut with a generous box shape, so the garment falls away from the body rather than sitting close. The dropped shoulder line continues into short batwing sleeves, giving the top its soft architectural drape. The neckline is rounded and open, with a clean ribbed finish that frames the collarbone without feeling tight.

The side splits are an important part of the design. They open the lower edge so the ribbed hem can sit freely at the front and back, while the longer back length adds coverage and movement. This gives Siggy the feel of a knitted top, a poncho-inspired layer and an oversized jumper in one simple piece.

Siggy is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend in an 8 gauge / 4 ply knit. Cashmere gives the yarn its smooth, soft touch, while lambswool adds warmth, depth and shape retention. Together they create a cashmere blend jumper that feels comforting but not overly heavy.

The 8 gauge / 4 ply construction gives Siggy more presence than a fine knit, helping the boxy form hold its outline while still feeling soft enough for everyday wear. It is a practical choice for layering through cooler months, especially when you want warmth around the body with a lighter sleeve shape.

Choose Siggy when you want knitwear that feels easy but still has personality. The wide body, short sleeve shape and side splits make it more distinctive than a basic crew neck jumper, while the cashmere mix yarn keeps it soft, warm and wearable.

It is especially useful on days when a full long-sleeved jumper feels too heavy. Siggy gives warmth across the body and shoulders, but leaves room for styling underneath. That makes it a versatile piece for changing seasons, indoor layering and relaxed everyday outfits.

Siggy works well over a fitted long-sleeved top, cotton shirt, slim roll neck or simple dress. The short batwing sleeve leaves the under-layer visible, which makes the outfit feel intentional rather than bulky. The oversized shape also balances neatly with slimmer trousers, denim, leggings or straight skirts.

For a more polished look, wear it over a crisp shirt with the collar sitting just inside the scoop neckline. For casual days, pair it with a fine jersey base layer and relaxed trousers. The side splits help the ribbed hem sit cleanly, even over pieces with more structure underneath.

To keep your Siggy cashmere mix jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, care for it gently:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not bleach or tumble dry
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears
