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.

Pea Jumper – Short Square Cut Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Pea jumper is a short, square cut knit designed for clean modern layering. Made from a soft cashmere and lambswool blend, it has an easy boxy outline, an open rolled neckline and long sleeves that balance the cropped body beautifully.

Its quiet detail is in the proportion. The body sits neat and slightly away from the waist, while the dropped shoulder seam gives the silhouette a relaxed, natural fall. Rolled edges at the neck, cuffs and hem soften the shape, so the jumper feels informal, tactile and carefully finished rather than plain.

Pea works when you want knitwear with lightness and character. It slips easily over high-rise denim, tailored trousers, skirts or a longer shirt, giving everyday outfits a fresh line without bulk. Simple at first glance, it is a refined luxury women’s jumper with a distinctly Ochre sense of ease.

Why This Jumper Feels Modern

  • Short square cut jumper shape creates a fresh, clean proportion
  • Open rolled neckline gives the top edge a soft, relaxed finish
  • Dropped shoulders add ease without overwhelming the body
  • Long sleeves balance the cropped length naturally
  • Rolled cuffs and hem keep the finish light rather than heavily ribbed
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction gives the knit a smooth, lighter handle
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend brings softness, warmth and gentle structure
  • A versatile luxury women’s jumper for simple everyday styling

Pea has a short square silhouette with enough width to feel relaxed, but enough clarity to look intentional. The body does not cling or taper; it sits with an easy straight line that makes high-waisted styling feel effortless.

The rolled neckline is one of the defining details. It opens softly at the neck and gives the jumper a gentler mood than a standard ribbed crew. The finish feels casual, but considered, with a clean edge that frames the upper body without looking formal.

The sleeves are long and neat in contrast to the cropped body. Rolled cuffs and a softly rolled lower edge repeat the neckline detail, creating a calm, balanced design that feels distinctive without needing pattern or decoration.

Pea is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it a soft handle with natural warmth and a little body. The cashmere adds smoothness against the skin, while the lambswool helps the jumper keep its relaxed square shape.

The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction gives this cashmere blend jumper a lighter feel than a chunky winter knit. It is warm enough for cooler days, but easy to wear indoors or under a coat without feeling heavy.

The surface has a quiet, even texture, allowing the rolled edge jumper details and cropped proportion to stand out in a clean, understated way.

Choose Pea when you want a jumper that gives an outfit shape immediately. The shorter body creates space around the waist and hip, while the open neckline keeps the look light and uncluttered.

It is an easy piece for days when you want comfort without losing polish. The design feels relaxed, but the proportions are thoughtful: square, soft, warm and quietly confident.

As everyday luxury knitwear, Pea is useful across seasons. Wear it alone when the weather is mild, layer it over a fine base when it is cooler, or style it over a shirt when you want a more playful line.

The Pea jumper works especially well with high-rise jeans, wide-leg trousers and clean tailored shapes, because the short body lets the waistline remain visible. It also sits beautifully over a longer shirt for a more relaxed layered look.

For softer styling, pair it with a fluid skirt or loose linen trousers. The cropped knitwear shape brings definition, while the rolled neckline and cuffs keep the overall feeling easy and natural.

Its simple surface makes it a useful wardrobe piece: minimal enough for everyday wear, but with enough detail in the neckline, sleeves and hem to feel special.

To help your Pea jumper keep its shape and soft cashmere lambswool feel, 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, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging

What kind of jumper is Pea?

Pea is a short square cut jumper with long sleeves, dropped shoulders and rolled edges. It has a modern cropped proportion rather than a traditional long jumper shape.

Is the Pea jumper fitted?

No. The body is relaxed and square, designed to sit away from the waist with a clean, easy outline.

What does the rolled neckline add to the design?

The rolled neckline softens the upper edge and gives Pea a more relaxed look than a classic ribbed crew neck.

How warm is this cashmere blend jumper?

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives natural warmth, while the 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit keeps the garment lighter and easier to layer.

What should I wear with a short square cut jumper?

Pea works well with high-waisted jeans, wide-leg trousers, skirts or layered over a longer shirt. The cropped length helps create clean outfit proportions.

Does the hem pull in tightly?

No. The hem is rolled rather than heavily ribbed, so it rests softly and keeps the body shape relaxed.

Is Pea suitable for layering?

Yes. The open neckline, short body and smooth knit surface make it easy to layer over a vest, fine base layer or shirt without adding too much bulk.
