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.

The round neckline is tipped with a subtle contrast rib, and the long sleeves flow straight from the body for an easy, laid-back fit. A deep rib at the hem gives gentle structure and is finished with a clean contrast edge, echoed at the cuffs.

Renee Contrast Trim Jumper – Cashmere Mix Knitwear

The Renee contrast trim jumper brings colour, softness and structure together in one easy piece of luxury knitwear. Designed with a relaxed square body, a neat round neckline and long sleeves that flow directly from the bodice, Renee has a laid-back shape with a beautifully finished edge.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this jumper feels warm, breathable and soft without being heavy. The contrast detail is small but important: a fine colour line frames the ribbed neck, cuffs and hem, giving the whole jumper a sharper, more modern finish.

Seen here in Oatmeal with Rust, Renee has a calm natural base lifted by a warm earthy trim. The same design is also available in Silver Marl with Turmeric for a cooler marl tone with a brighter colour accent. Wear it with denim, tailored trousers or relaxed weekend layers when you want comfort with a little visual energy.

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool

Available Cashmere, Lambswool Colour Options

Renee is available in two distinctive colourways: Oatmeal/Rust and Silver Marl/Turmeric. Oatmeal/Rust feels warm, natural and earthy, with the rust edge adding depth to the soft neutral base. Silver Marl/Turmeric gives the jumper a cooler, brighter mood, with the turmeric trim bringing a fresh pop of colour.

Our garments can be made to order in any colour from our colour chart. Contact us to inquire about colour availability and same-day dispatch options.

Why This Contrast Trim Jumper Stands Out

  • Soft cashmere and lambswool blend with a warm, breathable feel
  • Contrast colour edging at the neck, cuffs and hem
  • Relaxed square silhouette that skims rather than clings
  • Round neckline with a neat ribbed finish
  • Long sleeves grown from the bodice for an easy dropped-sleeve effect
  • Deep ribbed hem for gentle weight and structure
  • Ribbed cuffs finished with a fine contrast line
  • 7 Gauge / 3 Ply knit for a cosy but not bulky handle
  • Two colour combinations with very different moods
  • A cashmere mix jumper designed for everyday luxury

Renee is built around a relaxed square shape. The body sits wide and easy, giving the jumper a soft boxy outline without feeling oversized in a heavy way. The length is neat enough to wear loose over trousers, while the ribbed hem gives the base of the jumper a little weight and definition.

The sleeves extend from the bodice, creating a gentle dropped-sleeve effect that looks relaxed from the front and smooth from the side. In the uploaded images, the sleeve line falls naturally from the shoulder rather than sitting as a sharp set-in seam, which gives Renee its easy, casual drape.

The contrast trim is used with restraint. A fine coloured edge appears at the round neckline, the cuff openings and the lower hem. It is not a stripe jumper, but the colour detail gives the design a clear identity and makes the simple shape feel more considered.

Renee is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the jumper softness and a smooth luxury feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, body and natural resilience for regular wear.

The 7 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives this jumper a slightly more substantial feel than a very fine lightweight knit. It has enough presence to hold the square shape and deep ribbed trims, but it still feels comfortable, breathable and easy to layer.

The main body has a smooth knitted surface, while the collar, cuffs and hem are ribbed for texture and structure. This mix of smooth knit and rib detail gives Renee a clean finish without making the design feel plain.

A contrast trim jumper is perfect when you want something simple, but not ordinary. The shape remains timeless and easy to wear, while the coloured edging adds a small design detail that catches the eye.

Renee works especially well because the contrast is placed exactly where the garment needs definition: around the neckline, at the cuffs and along the hem. These edges frame the jumper and make the relaxed shape look intentional.

It is a strong choice if you like luxury knitwear that feels calm, wearable and quietly individual. The colour trim gives personality without overpowering the softness of the cashmere blend.

Renee is for someone who likes knitwear with comfort, shape and a little unexpected detail. It suits women who prefer relaxed pieces, but still want the garment to look finished and thoughtfully designed.

Wear Oatmeal/Rust with indigo denim, cord trousers or warm neutral layers for an earthy everyday look. Choose Silver Marl/Turmeric with navy, charcoal, cream or soft grey when you want the colour edge to feel brighter and more graphic.

This jumper is useful across seasons: cosy enough for cool days, relaxed enough for weekends, and polished enough to wear with smarter trousers when you want luxury knitwear without formality.

To keep your Renee contrast trim jumper soft, clean-edged 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 round neckline, cuffs and deep ribbed hem while damp
  • Pay attention to the contrast edges so they dry flat and even
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the square body and sleeve line

What is the best focus keyword for the Renee jumper?

A strong focus keyword for this product is contrast trim jumper. It describes the most visible design feature while still being natural for customers searching for distinctive knitwear.

What makes Renee different from a plain round neck jumper?

Renee has a relaxed square body, extended sleeve shape and fine contrast edging at the neckline, cuffs and hem. These details give it more character than a simple plain crew or round neck jumper.

Is Renee a cashmere mix jumper?

Yes. Renee is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it softness, warmth and a luxury feel with enough structure for everyday wear.

How does the Oatmeal/Rust colourway look?

Oatmeal/Rust has a soft beige oatmeal base with warm rust edging. The effect is natural, earthy and quietly colourful rather than bright or loud.

What is the Silver Marl/Turmeric option like?

Silver Marl/Turmeric has a cooler grey marl base with a warmer yellow-toned trim. It feels fresher and more graphic than Oatmeal/Rust.

Does Renee have dropped shoulders?

The sleeves extend from the bodice, creating a relaxed dropped-sleeve effect. This gives the jumper an easy line through the shoulder and upper arm.

Is the jumper fitted or loose?

Renee has a relaxed, square silhouette. It is designed to skim the body with an easy boxy shape rather than sit tightly against it.

What does 7 Gauge / 3 Ply mean for this jumper?

7 Gauge / 3 Ply gives Renee a cosy, slightly more substantial knit than a very fine jumper. It helps the body, cuffs and ribbed hem hold their shape while staying soft and wearable.

Why does the jumper have a deep ribbed hem?

The deep ribbed hem gives the relaxed body more structure at the base. It helps the jumper sit neatly while adding texture and weight to the silhouette.

Can I wear Renee over a shirt?

Yes. The relaxed square body and round neckline make it easy to layer over a shirt, fine top or thermal base layer without feeling too tight.

Which size should I choose?

Choose S/M for an easier neat fit and M/L if you prefer more room through the chest and body. Both sizes are designed to feel relaxed.

How should I protect the contrast edges?

After washing, smooth the neckline, cuffs and hem into shape while damp. Dry the jumper flat so the contrast edging stays even and does not stretch.

Why This Bandana Scarf Feels So Useful

  • Soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend
  • Compact bandana shape that adds warmth without weight
  • Tapered pointed ends make tying simple and elegant
  • Fine stripe border gives a clean, distinctive finish
  • Comfortable enough for indoor wear and useful under outerwear
  • Works as a neck scarf, light wrap or polished finishing piece
  • Easy to style with knitwear, shirts, jackets and coats
  • A refined cashmere mix accessory made for regular wear

The charm of this bandana scarf is in its balance of softness and structure. The pointed ends help the knot sit neatly, while the fine stripe border frames the shape and gives the scarf a precise, thoughtful edge.

Because the design is narrow and shaped, it does not overwhelm the neckline. It brings a finished feel to simple outfits and adds a little movement without the volume of a long winter scarf.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives Bontie a gentle handle with natural warmth. Cashmere softens the feel against the skin, while lambswool adds body, resilience and light insulation.

The result is a knitted scarf that feels cosy but not heavy. It is easy to keep on indoors, comfortable under a coat and smooth enough to wear close to the neck.

Tie it once at the front for a clean neckerchief look, knot it slightly to the side for a softer line, or tuck it under a blazer or coat so only the pointed ends and border detail show.

It also works beautifully with a crew neck jumper or simple cardigan, adding a considered finishing touch without making the outfit feel dressed up.

A soft cashmere mix bandana scarf with tapered pointed ends and a fine stripe border, designed to knot neatly at the neck for lightweight warmth and effortless everyday styling.

To keep your bandana scarf soft and neatly shaped, wash gently by hand in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing, as this can disturb the knitted structure and pointed edges.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded rather than hung, and refresh lightly with a cashmere comb if small bobbles appear with wear.

What is this bandana scarf made from?

It is knitted from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, combining gentle warmth with natural resilience.

How long is the scarf?

The scarf measures approximately 125cm, giving enough length to knot, loop or tuck neatly.

Is it bulky around the neck?

No. The bandana shape is designed to sit lightly, giving warmth and detail without the volume of a large scarf.

How can I wear it?

Wear it tied close to the neck, softly knotted to one side, tucked into a coat collar or draped over knitwear as a finishing accessory.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes. Its one-size shape, soft cashmere mix texture and easy styling make it a thoughtful luxury knitwear gift.

Shyla Jumper

Shyla Jumper is the soft, easy layer you’ll reach for every day. Knitted in a luxurious cashmere mix, it feels light yet warm with a smooth, gentle handle. The silhouette is relaxed with a soft swing through the body so it drapes rather than clings, giving a flattering, effortless shape you can wear from weekday to weekend.

The neckline is a classic round neck, finished with a subtle rolled edge that sits neatly against the collarbone. Raglan sleeves create a clean shoulder line and allow natural movement, while the cuffs echo the same rolled-edge detail for a considered, modern finish. The hem is also rolled, adding a refined touch and a delicate curve that skims the hip.

Shyla is designed for comfort and versatility. The hip-skimming length layers easily over denim, tailored trousers or a slip skirt; it works under a coat on cold days and over a tee when the temperature lifts. The cashmere mix offers excellent warmth-to-weight and breathability, making it a reliable choice across the seasons.

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool

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.

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.

Why This Tunic Top Feels Effortless

  • Loose tunic top shape gives comfort without looking bulky
  • Scoop neckline opens the upper body and softens the silhouette
  • Grown-on sleeves create an easy shoulder line with no hard structure
  • Longer back hem gives extra coverage over trousers and leggings
  • Side splits allow the hem to move naturally when worn
  • 12 Gauge / 2 Ply knit keeps the fabric light, smooth and refined
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives softness, warmth and breathability
  • A versatile alternative to a standard jumper when you want more length

Greta is cut with a simple, generous outline that lets the knit fall naturally from the shoulders. The grown-on sleeves are part of the body shape, creating a softer line than a traditional set-in sleeve and giving the tunic a relaxed, fluid feel.

The scoop neckline is one of the most flattering details. It sits open enough to feel feminine and easy, but still has enough coverage for everyday wear. This makes Greta simple to style with scarves, necklaces or a fine base layer underneath.

The side splits and longer back give the tunic top its quiet character. From the front it feels clean and uncomplicated, while the side view reveals extra movement, a softer fall and a more flattering layered proportion.

Greta is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives a soft, luxurious touch against the skin, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and durability for regular wear.

The 12 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives this cashmere lambswool tunic a finer, smoother handle than heavier winter knits. It has enough warmth to feel comforting, but it remains light and breathable indoors.

This balance makes Greta especially useful for layered dressing. It can sit over a fine top, under a coat, or be worn alone when you want a soft longline knit with a clean, relaxed finish.

A tunic top is useful when you want more coverage than a jumper but less formality than a dress. Greta gives that easy middle ground: soft, loose, wearable and simple to move in.

The longer back tunic shape works beautifully with slim trousers, leggings or narrow denim because it creates balance without feeling oversized in a heavy way. The side split tunic detail keeps the hem from sitting flat or stiff.

If you like knitwear that feels effortless but still considered, Greta is a strong wardrobe piece. It has the comfort of a relaxed fit knitwear layer, with the refined feel expected from luxury cashmere blend knitwear.

Greta is for women who like soft knitwear with freedom and flow. It suits days when comfort matters, but you still want the outfit to look polished and intentional.

The shape is especially good if you prefer a little more length through the body. The front feels easy and relaxed, while the back offers extra coverage without making the garment look heavy.

Wear this scoop neck tunic with fitted trousers, soft joggers, leggings, denim or layered over a slim long-sleeve top. It is a calm, practical and luxurious piece for everyday dressing.

To keep your Greta tunic top 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, twist or stretch the knit
  • Reshape the scoop neckline, sleeves, side splits and hem while damp
  • Dry flat naturally, away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the longline shape
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears with wear

What makes Greta a tunic top?

Greta has a longer, looser shape than a standard jumper, with a front length of 73cm and a back length of 80cm. This gives it the coverage and drape that define a tunic top.

Is Greta a cashmere tunic top?

Greta is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, so it has a soft cashmere feel with the warmth and structure of lambswool.

How does the scoop neck sit?

The scoop neckline sits open and softly rounded, giving the tunic a lighter look around the neck. It is easy to wear alone or with a fine layer underneath.

What are grown-on sleeves?

Grown-on sleeves are formed as part of the body shape rather than being sharply set into the shoulder. This gives Greta a relaxed shoulder line and a softer drape.

Does the longer back make a difference?

Yes. The longer back adds coverage and helps the tunic sit beautifully over leggings, slim trousers or fitted denim.

Why does Greta have side splits?

The side splits help the hem move naturally and stop the longer shape from feeling restrictive. They also make the tunic easier to layer.

Is this a lightweight tunic knit?

Yes. Greta is made in a 12 Gauge / 2 Ply knit, giving it a smooth, lightweight feel while still offering soft warmth.

What should I wear with a loose fit tunic top?

Greta works well with slim trousers, leggings, narrow denim or soft casual layers. The relaxed top shape balances best with cleaner lines on the lower half.

Is Greta suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The loose fit, natural fibres and easy longline shape make Greta practical for daily dressing, travel, relaxed workdays and weekends.

Will the tunic top feel bulky?

No. Although the shape is generous, the 12 Gauge / 2 Ply knit keeps the fabric refined and light rather than thick or heavy.

How should I dry Greta after washing?

Lay it flat on a towel and gently reshape the neckline, side splits and longer back hem while damp. Avoid hanging while wet because this can stretch the tunic shape.

Why choose Greta instead of a standard jumper?

Greta gives more length, softer drape and easier coverage than a classic jumper, while still feeling like relaxed luxury knitwear rather than a formal tunic.

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.
