Rumble Collared Jumper – Relaxed Lambswool Cashmere Jumper

The Rumble collared jumper is made for easy days that still deserve beautiful knitwear. With its soft collar, open V neckline and relaxed shape, it has the comfort of a favourite jumper but with a more polished, considered finish.

Knitted from a warm and breathable blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, Rumble feels soft against the skin while keeping enough structure to hold its shape. The dropped shoulders give the jumper an effortless drape, while the open collar brings a subtle touch of smartness without feeling formal.

This is the kind of cashmere jumper women can wear in many ways — with jeans for relaxed weekends, with tailored trousers for a clean everyday look, or over a fine base layer when the weather turns cooler. It is simple, wearable and quietly elevated.

Why This Collared Jumper Stands Out:

Rumble stands out because it gives casual knitwear a sharper neckline. The collar changes the whole mood of the jumper, making it feel more styled than a plain crew neck but easier and softer than a shirt.

The open V shape creates space around the neckline, which makes the jumper feel light and flattering. There are no buttons, no fuss and no heavy detailing — just a clean collar, soft knit and relaxed drape.

This collared knit jumper works especially well for women who like understated luxury. It does not need loud colours or complicated styling to feel special. The shape does the work quietly.

T

he Rumble jumper has a relaxed one-size fit with dropped shoulders and a softly open neckline. It is designed to sit easily on the body rather than cling, giving it a natural, comfortable shape.

The collar gives the jumper a more refined look, while the V opening keeps it casual and breathable. This balance makes Rumble very versatile: smart enough for lunch or work-from-home days, but relaxed enough for weekends and travel.

The ribbed cuffs and hem help bring the shape together, adding a little structure to the softness of the knit. The overall effect is easy, neat and modern.

Rumble is knitted from a lambswool cashmere blend made with 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere adds softness and a luxury feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, texture and natural resilience.

The 8gg / 2ply construction gives the jumper a light but cosy feel. It is not a heavy winter knit, but it still offers gentle warmth for cooler days.

This is luxury knitwear UK customers can wear often — soft enough to feel special, practical enough for everyday life, and relaxed enough to become a piece you reach for again and again.

A collared knit jumper is a perfect choice when you want something softer than a shirt but smarter than a basic jumper. The collar adds shape around the neckline and instantly makes the outfit feel more finished.

Rumble is especially easy because the collar is knitted into a relaxed, button-free design. There is no stiffness, no formal structure and no sharp tailoring. It keeps the comfort of knitwear while giving your outfit a more thoughtful look.

It is a lovely option for transitional dressing, relaxed workwear, weekends away and everyday layering.

This cashmere jumper is for women who want comfort without losing style. It suits those who like natural fibres, relaxed silhouettes and simple pieces with one strong design detail.

Rumble is ideal if you prefer knitwear that feels effortless rather than overly dressed. It works beautifully with denim, cord trousers, wide-leg trousers, skirts or layered over a fine long-sleeve top.

It is also a good choice if you want a jumper that feels casual at first glance, but still has the quiet polish of premium knitwear.

To keep your Rumble collared jumper soft, fresh 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.
Gently reshape the collar, cuffs and hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder shape and neckline.

What is a collared jumper?

A collared jumper is a knitted jumper designed with a collar detail at the neckline. Rumble features a soft knitted collar with an open V placket for a relaxed, modern look.

What is the Rumble collared jumper made from?

Rumble is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this collared jumper a relaxed fit?

Yes. Rumble is designed with dropped shoulders and a relaxed silhouette, allowing the jumper to drape naturally without feeling too oversized.

Does the jumper have buttons?

No. The Rumble collared jumper has a clean, button-free open V neckline for easy styling and a minimal finish.

Is the Rumble jumper warm?

Yes. The 8gg / 2ply cashmere blend knit offers lightweight warmth, making it cosy without feeling heavy or bulky.

How should I style a collared jumper?

Style it with denim for relaxed everyday wear, with tailored trousers for a polished look, or layered over a fine base layer in cooler weather.

Will the jumper keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the jumper retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Is this collared jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Rumble soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Nano Short Sleeve Cardigan – Cropped Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Nano short sleeve cardigan is small in shape but full of character. Designed with a cropped body, deep V neckline and three simple buttons, it brings a fresh, feminine feel to luxury knitwear.

This is the cardigan you reach for when a full-length layer feels too much, but your outfit still needs softness, warmth and a finished look. The short sleeves make Nano feel light and modern, while the cropped length works beautifully with high-waisted trousers, skirts, denim and dresses.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere cardigan feels soft, breathable and gently warm. It can be worn buttoned as a neat knitted top or left open as a light layer over a vest, camisole or summer dress.

Why This Short Sleeve Cardigan Stands Out:

Nano stands out because it changes how a cardigan can be worn. It is not a heavy layer or a traditional long-sleeve knit. It feels lighter, shorter and more styling-led.

The cropped shape gives it a youthful, easy proportion, while the deep V neckline creates a clean open line through the front. The three-button fastening keeps the design simple and neat, allowing the cardigan to work as both a top and a layer.

This short sleeve cardigan is especially useful when you want warmth without covering the whole outfit. It adds softness over a dress, shape with high-waisted trousers and a relaxed luxury feel with denim.

The Nano cardigan has a cropped, relaxed fit that sits neatly around the waist. This makes it ideal for balancing fuller skirts, wide-leg trousers and high-rise denim.

The deep V neckline gives the cardigan a more open, flattering shape. When worn buttoned, it becomes a soft knitted top with a clean front. When worn open, it works as a light cardigan over sleeveless pieces.

The short sleeves are designed with a gentle drape rather than a tight fit. This gives the cardigan softness around the arms and keeps the whole shape easy, airy and comfortable.

Nano is knitted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan softness and a smooth hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural durability.

The 9gg / 2ply knit construction gives Nano a lighter feel than chunkier knitwear. It is soft and cosy, but never heavy. This makes it perfect for transitional weather, indoor layering, travel outfits and cooler summer evenings.

It is luxury knitwear with an easy attitude — delicate in appearance, but practical enough to wear often.

A cropped cardigan is a clever piece because it changes the proportion of an outfit. Instead of covering everything, it sits higher on the body and gives shape to the waist.

Nano works beautifully with high-waisted pieces because it does not create extra bulk around the hips. It also layers well over dresses, where a longer cardigan might feel too heavy or hide the shape of the outfit.

This makes Nano a perfect choice if you want button cardigan knitwear that feels modern, feminine and easy to style.

Nano is for someone who likes knitwear that feels light, pretty and practical. It is ideal if you want the softness of a cashmere cardigan, but in a shorter and more modern shape.

It suits women who enjoy versatile pieces. Wear it buttoned with trousers for a clean daytime look, open over a dress for soft layering, or with denim for an easy weekend outfit.

This cardigan is especially good for spring, early autumn, holidays, indoor warmth and days when you want a gentle layer without feeling wrapped up.

To keep your Nano short sleeve cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Fasten the buttons before washing.
Do not wring or twist the knit.
Gently reshape the neckline, sleeves and cropped hem while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to protect the cropped shape and shoulder line.

Can the Nano cardigan be worn as a top?

Yes. The cropped shape and three-button front make Nano easy to wear buttoned as a soft knitted top, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts.

Why choose a short sleeve cardigan instead of a classic long sleeve cardigan?

A short sleeve cardigan gives lighter coverage and more styling flexibility. It works well in transitional weather, indoors, or layered over dresses and camisoles without feeling too warm.

Does the cropped length work with high-waisted trousers?

Yes. Nano is designed to sit neatly at the waist, which makes it especially flattering with high-rise denim, tailored trousers and skirts.

Is the deep V neckline easy to wear?

The deep V neckline creates a flattering open shape. It can be worn alone as a knit top or layered over a fine vest or camisole for extra coverage.

What does 9gg / 2ply mean for this cardigan?

The 9gg / 2ply construction gives Nano a finer, lighter knit than a chunky cardigan. It feels breathable, smooth and easy to layer.

Are the short sleeves fitted or loose?

The short sleeves have a soft relaxed drape, giving ease through the arm rather than a tight fitted feel.

Is Nano a good cardigan for spring and summer evenings?

Yes. Its lightweight knit and short sleeves make it ideal for adding gentle warmth over dresses, camisoles or sleeveless tops when temperatures cool.

How should I store a cropped cashmere blend cardigan?

Store it folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the cropped shape, shoulder line and soft knitted structure over time.

Is this jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The blend of cashmere and lambswool gives the jumper a luxurious feel while making it practical for regular wear.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Shaby Button Knit Vest – Ribbed Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Shaby button knit vest is a beautifully useful layer for days when you want softness, texture and freedom of movement. Designed with a neat button front, ribbed knit texture, softly capped shoulders and side splits, Shaby brings quiet structure to everyday luxury knitwear.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere blend knit vest feels warm, breathable and soft without the weight of a full jumper. Wear it buttoned as a sleeveless cashmere knit top, open over a shirt, or layered under a jacket when you want warmth without bulky sleeves.

Why This Button Knit Vest Stands Apart

  • Ribbed texture adds depth, stretch and a flattering vertical line
  • Five-button front gives more styling options than a pull-on vest
  • Capped shoulders soften the sleeveless shape
  • Side splits help the hem sit easily over shirts and trousers
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth, softness and structure
  • Useful as a top, light layer or under-jacket knit
  • Easy to style through spring, autumn and cooler indoor days
  • Designed for women who like practical knitwear with quiet character

Shaby is designed to give the look of a waistcoat, the softness of knitwear and the ease of a cardigan. The button front lets you choose how polished or relaxed you want the vest to feel. Fasten every button for a neat knitted top, leave the neckline slightly open, or wear it undone over a crisp shirt.

The capped shoulders are an important detail. They give more coverage than a narrow sleeveless knit, creating a softer line across the upper body while keeping the arms free.

Side splits at the hem make the fit more flexible. They allow the vest to sit comfortably over longer shirts, high-waisted trousers, skirts and layered pieces without pulling tightly at the hips.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 2 Ply cashmere blend, Shaby has a soft ribbed handle with enough structure to hold its shape. The cashmere adds smoothness and a luxurious feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, breathability and natural resilience.

The ribbed knit texture gives the garment gentle stretch and definition. It makes the vest feel cosy without becoming heavy, and helps the button placket and hem sit neatly when worn.

This is a useful piece for changing seasons because it warms the body while leaving the arms light and unrestricted.

A sleeveless cashmere knit is one of the most practical pieces in a layered wardrobe. It gives softness and warmth where you need it, without adding bulk under coats, jackets or blazers.

Shaby works especially well because it can be styled in several ways. It can look smart over a shirt, relaxed over a T-shirt, cosy over a fine roll neck, or minimal when worn buttoned as a knitted top.

The button knit vest shape also feels more versatile than a plain pullover vest. You can open it, close it, layer it or use it as the main piece of the outfit.

This ribbed knit vest is for women who enjoy thoughtful layering and natural fibres. It is ideal if you want something lighter than a jumper, softer than a tailored waistcoat and more interesting than a plain sleeveless top.

Wear Shaby with wide-leg trousers for a clean modern look, with denim for easy weekend dressing, or over a long shirt for a more creative silhouette. It also works beautifully under a jacket because there are no sleeves to bunch or add bulk.

It is a small wardrobe piece with real range: simple, tactile, easy to wear and quietly distinctive.

To keep your button knit vest soft, neat and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Fasten the buttons before washing or storing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Reshape the button placket, capped shoulders and side splits while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the ribbed structure

What makes Shaby a button knit vest?

Shaby has a sleeveless ribbed knit shape with a functional five-button front. It can be worn closed like a knitted top or open as a soft layering piece.

Can I wear this vest on its own?

Yes. The button front and capped shoulders make Shaby easy to wear as a sleeveless cashmere knit top, especially with high-waisted trousers, denim or skirts.

What can I layer underneath it?

Shaby works well over shirts, blouses, fine roll necks, long-sleeve tops, camisoles and simple T-shirts. The sleeveless shape makes it easy to adapt through different seasons.

Does the ribbed knit vest feel fitted?

The ribbing gives shape and gentle structure, but the overall fit is comfortable rather than tight. It is designed to skim and layer easily.

Why are capped shoulders useful?

Capped shoulders give a little more coverage than a narrow vest. They soften the sleeveless shape and make the garment feel more finished across the upper body.

Are the buttons functional?

Yes. The five buttons can be opened or closed, giving you several styling options depending on the layer underneath and the look you want.

What do the side splits do?

The side splits help the hem move naturally and sit comfortably over trousers, skirts or longer shirts without pulling around the hips.

Is this cashmere blend knit vest warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives gentle warmth and softness, while the sleeveless design keeps the vest light and easy to layer.

Which colour is most versatile?

Stone is the easiest neutral for everyday wear. Chalk Blue feels fresh and soft, Teal adds depth, and Fir Green gives a richer, earthy look.

Can this vest be worn with smart outfits?

Yes. Style it over a crisp shirt with tailored trousers for a polished look, or wear it buttoned with simple jewellery for a softer smart-casual outfit.

How should I care for the button front?

Fasten the buttons before washing, avoid pulling the placket out of shape, and dry the vest flat so the front edge stays neat.

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.

Rumi Dropped Sleeve Gilet – Soft Sleeveless Knitwear for Layering

The Rumi dropped sleeve gilet is made for those moments when a full jumper feels too much, but your outfit still needs warmth, texture and shape. With its generous dropped sleeve line, open armholes and softly curved hem, Rumi brings a relaxed, sculptural feel to everyday layering.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this women’s knit gilet feels soft, breathable and naturally warm. It slips easily over shirts, fine roll necks, long-sleeve tops or dresses, adding comfort without hiding the rest of your outfit.

Rumi is modern, easy and quietly expressive — a piece of sleeveless knitwear designed to give simple outfits more depth, movement and personality.

Why This Dropped Sleeve Gilet Stands Out

  • Distinctive dropped sleeve shape with a soft, modern outline
  • Generous arm openings that make layering feel effortless
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend for natural warmth and softness
  • Longer back hem for easy coverage and movement
  • Side splits to help the gilet sit neatly over shirts and dresses
  • Rolled edges for a relaxed, minimal finish
  • Works across seasons as light, breathable sleeveless knitwear
  • One-size fit designed to drape rather than cling

Rumi is shaped with a dropped sleeve line rather than a narrow armhole, which gives the gilet its relaxed and slightly architectural character. It covers the shoulder softly, then opens generously through the arm so you can layer underneath without feeling restricted.

The curved hem gives the piece movement from the side, while the longer back length adds a little extra coverage. This makes the gilet especially easy to wear over longer shirts, dresses and fine knits.

The side splits stop the hem from feeling tight or boxy. They allow the knit to fall naturally, so the silhouette stays soft, fluid and comfortable throughout the day.

Rumi is knitted from a soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings a gentle, luxurious hand feel, while the lambswool gives warmth, body and everyday resilience.

The 8 Gauge knit has enough substance to feel cosy, but the sleeveless shape keeps it light and easy to wear indoors. It adds warmth through the body without creating bulk around the arms.

This makes Rumi a useful piece for transitional weather, travel days, cool evenings and layered winter outfits when you want comfort without the heaviness of a full jumper.

A women’s knit gilet is one of the most useful layering pieces because it gives warmth while keeping the arms free. Rumi takes that idea further with a wider, softer dropped sleeve shape that feels more contemporary than a classic fitted vest.

It adds texture without covering your whole outfit. A shirt collar, fine sleeve, dress shape or roll neck can still be seen underneath, which makes styling feel more personal and less heavy.

Choose Rumi when you want knitwear that changes the mood of an outfit quickly — softer than a jacket, lighter than a jumper, and more interesting than a plain sleeveless layer.

Rumi is for someone who loves relaxed luxury and easy layering. It suits women who want natural fibres, softness and warmth, but prefer a shape that feels open, breathable and modern.

Wear it over a crisp white shirt for a clean everyday look, over a fine roll neck when the weather is cooler, or over a dress when you want warmth without losing the dress shape underneath.

It is especially good for women who like simple outfits with one strong design detail. The dropped sleeve silhouette gives Rumi character without making it difficult to wear.

To keep your Rumi dropped sleeve gilet soft, fresh 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 arm openings, side splits and curved hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help protect the dropped sleeve shape

What makes Rumi a dropped sleeve gilet?

Rumi has generous arm openings that fall softly from the shoulder, creating a dropped sleeve effect. This gives more drape and coverage than a narrow sleeveless vest.

Is this the same as a normal knit vest?

No. A traditional vest usually sits closer around the armhole. Rumi is wider, softer and more relaxed, making it better for layering over shirts, dresses and fine knitwear.

Can I wear this women’s knit gilet over a shirt?

Yes. Rumi works beautifully over shirts because the open armholes give plenty of space for sleeves and the side splits help the hem sit comfortably.

Does the gilet feel oversized?

Rumi has a relaxed one-size fit, but it is designed to drape rather than swamp the body. The curved hem and side splits help the shape feel light and intentional.

Is Rumi warm enough for cooler days?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend gives soft natural warmth, while the sleeveless shape keeps it breathable and easy to layer.

What should I wear underneath a dropped sleeve gilet?

Try a fine roll neck, crisp cotton shirt, long-sleeve top, simple dress or lightweight jumper. Smooth layers work especially well under the generous arm openings.

Which colour is best for a statement look?

Fluro Pink is the boldest choice. Teal feels rich and modern, while Orchid Ice and Soft Pink give the gilet a softer, more delicate mood.

Can this sleeveless knitwear be worn indoors?

Yes. Rumi is ideal indoors because it warms the body without adding heavy sleeves, making it comfortable for home, work or travel.

Will the longer back hem cover the hips?

The back length is longer than the front, giving gentle coverage and a modern side profile. It is useful when layering over trousers, dresses or long shirts.

How do I stop the dropped sleeve shape stretching?

Store Rumi folded rather than hanging. After washing, reshape the arm openings and hem while damp, then dry the gilet flat.

Is this gilet suitable for luxury everyday dressing?

Yes. Rumi is soft and refined, but easy to wear. It brings the comfort of cashmere blend knitwear into everyday outfits without feeling formal.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to how fine or dense the knit is, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they influence the garment’s weight, warmth, softness and structure. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Button Cardigan Feels So Easy to Wear

  • Soft 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, light feel
  • Five-button front for flexible styling
  • Crew neckline for a clean everyday shape
  • Raglan sleeves for comfortable movement
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a neat finish
  • Works buttoned as a top or open as a cardigan
  • Light enough for layering through the seasons
  • Available in S/M and M/L

Eden is designed with a classic crew neckline and a simple button-through front, giving it the clean look of a traditional cardigan without feeling old-fashioned. The five-button fastening keeps the front neat and makes the cardigan easy to wear open, closed or half-buttoned.

The raglan sleeves are an important part of the shape. They give the shoulder line a softer, more relaxed feel than a set-in sleeve, so the cardigan sits comfortably over T-shirts, light tops and fine layers.

The length is easy to style with high-waisted trousers, denim and skirts. It sits neatly at the body without feeling cropped, making Eden a practical piece for everyday dressing as well as brighter, colour-led outfits.

Eden is knitted from a cashmere and lambswool blend that balances softness, warmth and wearability. The cashmere gives the cardigan a gentle luxury feel, while the lambswool adds natural warmth and helps the knit keep its shape.

The fine gauge construction gives Eden a smoother, lighter surface than chunkier knitwear. It feels cosy but not heavy, making it useful for indoor wear, layering under coats and adding warmth on cooler spring or autumn days.

Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem bring the softness together with a tidy finish. They help the cardigan sit neatly while keeping the overall feel relaxed and comfortable.

A cashmere blend cardigan is one of the most useful pieces in a wardrobe because it can be worn in more than one way. Eden can act as a soft outer layer, a buttoned knit top or a light layer under a jacket.

The blend of cashmere and lambswool makes it feel special without being too delicate for regular use. It has the softness people love in luxury knitwear, with the added structure and resilience needed for everyday life.

This makes Eden a strong choice if you want knitwear that feels cheerful, practical and polished, not too formal and not too plain.

This button cardigan is for women who like easy clothes with a little personality. It suits anyone who wants a soft layer that can move between home, work, weekends and travel without needing complicated styling.

Choose Navy Marl for a calm everyday cardigan, Fluro Pink for colour and confidence, or Orange Peel when you want warmth and brightness in your outfit.

Eden is especially good for those who enjoy simple shapes but still want their knitwear to feel considered. It is classic enough to wear often, but the colour options keep it fresh and expressive.

To keep your Eden button cardigan soft, smooth and neatly shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Fasten the buttons before washing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line and button front

What makes Eden a button cardigan?

Eden has a classic button-through front with five buttons, so it can be worn open as a layer or closed as a neat knitted top.

Is this cardigan made from cashmere?

Yes. Eden is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness and a luxury knitwear feel.

Is the neckline high or open?

Eden has a crew neckline. It sits cleanly around the neck and gives the cardigan a simple, easy shape for everyday wear.

Can I wear Eden buttoned up as a top?

Yes. The neat button front and crew neckline make Eden easy to wear fully buttoned as a cashmere blend knit top.

Does the cardigan feel heavy?

No. Eden has a soft-touch fine gauge knit, so it feels light and comfortable while still giving gentle warmth.

What are raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves are shaped from the neckline rather than being sewn at the shoulder edge. This gives the cardigan a softer shoulder line and makes it comfortable for layering.

Which colour is best for everyday wear?

Navy Marl is the easiest everyday option. Fluro Pink is brighter and more playful, while Orange Peel gives a warm statement colour.

Is Eden suitable for work or smart casual outfits?

Yes. Eden can look polished with tailored trousers or a skirt, especially when worn buttoned and styled with simple accessories.

Can this button cardigan be layered under a coat?

Yes. The fine gauge knit and smooth shape make Eden easy to wear under coats or jackets without adding too much bulk.

How do I keep the button front looking neat?

Fasten the buttons before washing, reshape the placket while damp and dry the cardigan flat. This helps the front sit smoothly.

Is this a good cardigan for year-round wear?

Yes. Eden is light enough for spring and autumn layering, cosy enough for cooler days, and comfortable enough to wear indoors during winter.

What makes Eden different from a plain cardigan?

Eden keeps the classic button cardigan shape but adds soft cashmere blend luxury, raglan sleeves and confident colour options that give it more personality.

Cornish Crew Neck Jumper  with Contrast Trim

The Cornish crew neck jumper is a fresh take on the everyday knit: simple in shape, soft in handle and finished with a flash of colour at the trims. Designed for easy wear rather than over-styling, it brings the comfort of a classic jumper together with a brighter Ochre detail.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cornish feels warm, light and naturally breathable. The fine gauge knit keeps the silhouette smooth, while the relaxed fit gives enough room for layering over shirts, T-shirts or fine base layers.

The crew neck shape makes this jumper timeless, but the fluro pink tipping gives it personality. Choose Ivory/Fluro Pink for a clean, playful contrast or Navy/Fluro Pink for a sharper everyday look.

Why This Crew Neck Jumper Stands Out

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, light finish
  • Classic crew neck shape that works across seasons
  • Relaxed fit for comfort without a bulky look
  • Fluro pink contrast tipping for a distinctive Ochre finish
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem to help the jumper sit neatly
  • Soft enough for everyday wear, polished enough for smarter styling
  • Easy to wear with denim, skirts, tailored trousers or layered shirts
  • Available in two colourways: Ivory/Fluro Pink and Navy/Fluro Pink

Cornish is built around a true wardrobe favourite: the crew neck jumper. The neckline is neat, familiar and easy to style, giving the piece a clean frame without feeling too close or formal.

The relaxed body gives the jumper a soft, comfortable fit. It has enough ease to layer over a shirt, but the fine gauge knit keeps the shape refined rather than slouchy. Ribbed trims at the cuffs and hem help the garment sit neatly, so it feels casual but still considered.

The contrast tipping is the design detail that changes the mood. Instead of a plain finish, the fluro pink edge adds a small line of energy at the trims, making the jumper feel more personal, playful and recognisably Ochre.

Cornish is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it the softness and warmth of natural fibres with a smooth, breathable feel. The cashmere adds a gentle luxury touch, while the lambswool brings structure, comfort and everyday resilience.

The fine gauge knit makes this jumper lighter than a chunky winter style. It is warm without feeling heavy, which makes it useful for layering under coats, wearing indoors, or reaching for on cooler spring and autumn days.

It is the kind of knit that feels easy from the first wear: soft, simple and practical, but lifted by the contrast trim so it never feels ordinary.

A crew neck jumper is one of the most dependable pieces in a knitwear wardrobe because it works with almost everything. It can be casual with jeans, cleaner with tailored trousers, softer with skirts, or layered over a collared shirt for a sharper look.

Cornish keeps the shape classic but adds a modern trim detail, so it feels more individual than a plain jumper. The contrast edge gives the eye somewhere to land without making the garment difficult to style.

This makes it a good choice if you want an everyday jumper that still has a little spark — something soft and wearable, but not invisible.

Cornish is for someone who likes simple knitwear with one clever detail. It suits women who want comfort, softness and a relaxed shape, but still enjoy a touch of colour in their wardrobe.

Wear it with denim for easy weekends, with navy or cream trousers for a cleaner look, or over a white shirt when you want the crew neck to feel a little smarter. The shape is uncomplicated, so the contrast trim can do the talking.

It is especially useful for everyday dressing: school runs, studio days, travel, relaxed workwear, coastal walks or any moment when you want luxury knitwear that feels natural rather than dressed up.

To keep your Cornish crew neck jumper soft, fresh and neatly shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash inside out to help protect the contrast tipping
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line

What makes the Cornish crew neck jumper different?

Cornish has the ease of a classic crew neck jumper, but the fluro pink contrast tipping gives it a brighter, more individual finish.

Is this jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The relaxed fit, fine gauge knit and soft cashmere blend make it comfortable for regular wear, while the trim detail keeps it looking more considered than a basic jumper.

Does the crew neck feel tight?

No. The neckline is designed to sit neatly, but it should feel comfortable and easy rather than restrictive.

Can I wear a shirt underneath?

Yes. Cornish works well layered over a shirt, especially if you want the collar to show at the neckline for a smarter look.

Which colourway is easiest to style?

Navy/Fluro Pink is the more classic option and pairs easily with denim, black, grey and neutral tones. Ivory/Fluro Pink feels lighter, fresher and more playful.

Is the fluro pink trim very bold?

The trim is noticeable, but it is placed at the edges, so it adds colour without taking over the whole jumper.

Is Cornish a heavy winter jumper?

No. It is a soft fine gauge knit, so it feels lighter than chunky knitwear. It still gives warmth from the cashmere and lambswool blend, but without heaviness.

Can this jumper be dressed up?

Yes. Style it with tailored trousers, a neat coat or simple jewellery for a cleaner look. The crew neck shape makes it easy to move between casual and smarter outfits.

Will the ribbed cuffs and hem help the fit?

Yes. The ribbed trims help the jumper sit neatly at the sleeves and hem, giving the relaxed shape a more finished outline.

How should I care for the contrast trim?

Wash gently, avoid twisting the knit, and reshape the cuffs, hem and neckline while damp. Dry flat to help the trims stay neat.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge usually creates a lighter, smoother knit, while ply influences thickness and warmth. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Cornish Crew Neck Jumper

The Cornish crew neck jumper is a soft, lightweight knit designed for everyday ease, gentle colour contrast and refined comfort. Crafted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cornish brings together softness, breathability and natural warmth in a clean, wearable silhouette. With its classic crew neckline, relaxed fit and subtle fluro pink tipping, this crew neck jumper feels simple at first glance but carefully finished in the details. It is an easy piece to wear with denim, tailored trousers, skirts or layered over shirts for a relaxed but polished look.

Why This Crew Neck Jumper Stands Out:

  • Soft 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, lightweight feel
  • Classic crew neckline for timeless styling
  • Relaxed fit for comfort and easy layering
  • Subtle fluro pink contrast tipping for a modern finish
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for shape and structure
  • Breathable natural fibres for year-round wear
  • Available in two size options: S/M and M/L

Design & Fit

Cornish is designed around a classic crew neckline, giving the jumper a clean and familiar shape that is easy to style. The neckline sits neatly without feeling tight, making it comfortable worn alone or layered over a shirt or fine base layer. The relaxed silhouette gives the jumper natural ease through the body, while the smooth fine gauge knit keeps the overall look refined rather than bulky. It is soft enough for casual everyday wear, but polished enough to style with smarter pieces. The fluro pink contrast tipping adds a distinctive Ochre touch. Placed subtly at the trims, it lifts the design without overpowering the simplicity of the jumper. The ribbed cuffs and hem help the knit sit neatly and give the garment a softly structured finish.

Fabric & Feel

Made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cornish feels soft, warm and breathable. The cashmere adds a smooth, luxurious touch, while the lambswool brings structure, insulation and everyday durability. The fine gauge knit gives this jumper a lighter feel than a chunky winter knit, making it ideal for layering across seasons. It offers warmth without heaviness and works beautifully under jackets, coats or gilets.

Why Choose a Crew Neck Jumper?

A crew neck jumper is one of the most versatile knitwear shapes because it works with almost every wardrobe. It can be worn casually with denim, dressed up with tailored trousers, or layered over a collared shirt for a sharper look. Cornish keeps that timeless crew neck shape but adds a softer, more contemporary finish through its relaxed fit and contrast tipping. It is simple enough to become a daily favourite, but detailed enough to feel special.

Who This Crew Neck Jumper Is For

This crew neck jumper is designed for those who like easy luxury, clean knitwear and small design details that make a piece feel more personal. It is ideal if you want something soft, light and wearable, without choosing a plain basic. Wear Cornish with jeans and trainers for relaxed weekend style, layer it over a crisp shirt for a smarter everyday outfit, or pair it with wide-leg trousers for a simple, modern silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cornish jumper different from a plain crew neck?

Cornish has the simplicity of a classic crew neck jumper, but the fluro pink contrast tipping adds a modern, playful detail that makes it feel more distinctive.

Is the crew neckline close-fitting?

No. The neckline is classic and neat, but designed to feel comfortable rather than tight. It works well worn alone or layered over a shirt.

Which colourway is more versatile?

Navy / Fluro Pink is the more classic option and easy to wear with denim, black, grey and neutrals. Ivory / Fluro Pink feels fresher and brighter.

Can I layer a shirt underneath?

Yes. The relaxed fit and crew neckline make Cornish easy to layer over a collared shirt, especially if you want the collar to show neatly at the neck.

Does the contrast tipping make the jumper hard to style?

No. The fluro pink detail is small and placed at the trims, so it adds interest without dominating the outfit. Keep the rest of the look simple and let the trim do the work.

Is this jumper better for spring or winter?

Cornish works well across seasons. The fine gauge knit is light enough for spring layering, while the cashmere and lambswool blend gives soft warmth in cooler weather.

How does the relaxed fit sit on the body?

The jumper has an easy, relaxed shape through the chest and body. It is not designed to cling, but it still keeps a clean outline because of the fine gauge knit.

How should I care for the contrast trim?

Wash gently inside out, avoid wringing, and reshape the trims while damp. Dry the jumper flat so the neckline, cuffs and hem stay neat.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Stripe Cashmere Blend Jumper Feels Special

  • Pastel stripes give colour without overpowering the outfit
  • V neckline creates a lighter, more open shape than a classic crew neck
  • Fine-gauge cashmere blend feels smooth, breathable and easy to layer
  • Ivory base keeps the orchid, pink and cloud blue tones soft and wearable
  • Relaxed shape gives comfort while still looking polished
  • Ribbed edges help the jumper sit neatly at the cuffs and hem
  • Works with denim, tailoring, linen, skirts and simple neutral layers
  • A distinctive alternative to a plain cashmere blend jumper

Cherry is designed around a relaxed V neckline that gives the jumper an easy, flattering shape. The neckline opens the front of the knit without feeling too low, making it simple to wear on its own or with a fine vest underneath.

The stripes are the character of this piece. Instead of a hard graphic contrast, Cherry uses a softer pastel rhythm across the body and sleeves. The ivory base keeps the colour fresh, while orchid, pink and cloud blue add a gentle brightness that feels modern and feminine.

The one-size fit gives the jumper a relaxed drape through the body. Ribbed cuffs and hem bring the shape back in just enough, so the jumper feels casual but not loose or unfinished.

Cherry is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere gives the jumper its smooth, luxurious touch, while the lambswool adds warmth, bounce and natural resilience for regular wear.

The lightweight fine-gauge knit makes this jumper comfortable across seasons. It has enough warmth for cooler days, but it does not feel bulky under coats or heavy indoors.

The result is women’s luxury knitwear with an easy mood: soft, breathable, colourful and practical enough to become part of your everyday wardrobe.

A pastel stripe sweater for women can bring life to simple outfits without feeling too bright or difficult to style. Cherry is colourful in a gentle way, which makes it easier to wear than a bold statement knit.

The V-neck jumper shape adds to its versatility. It softens the neckline, works well with jewellery or scarves, and layers neatly over fine base pieces when extra coverage is needed.

If you already own plain knitwear, Cherry offers something more expressive while still keeping the comfort and softness of a cashmere blend jumper.

Cherry is for women who like their knitwear to feel relaxed, light and a little playful. It suits anyone who wants colour in their wardrobe, but prefers a soft pastel palette rather than strong contrast.

Style it with pale denim for a fresh daytime look, navy trousers for a cleaner finish, ivory jeans for a tonal outfit, or a simple skirt when you want the stripes to feel softer and more feminine.

This is an easy piece for spring, cooler summer evenings, early autumn and layered winter dressing. It feels cheerful, but still refined enough for everyday luxury knitwear.

To keep your Cherry stripe cashmere blend 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 to help protect the pastel stripes
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the V neckline, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally, away from strong direct sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder shape

What makes Cherry a stripe cashmere blend jumper?

Cherry combines a soft cashmere and lambswool blend with pastel stripes across the body and sleeves. The stripe design gives the jumper colour and personality, while the natural fibres keep it soft, warm and breathable.

Is this jumper very bright?

No. The colours are fresh but gentle. The ivory base softens the orchid, pink and cloud blue stripes, creating a pastel look rather than a strong graphic stripe.

How does the V neckline sit?

The V neckline is open and flattering without feeling too deep. It gives the jumper a lighter shape around the neckline and works well with or without a fine layer underneath.

Is Cherry a relaxed fit jumper?

Yes. Cherry has an easy one-size fit with a relaxed body. The ribbed hem and cuffs help the jumper keep a neat outline, so it does not feel shapeless.

What can I wear with a pastel stripe sweater?

Cherry looks lovely with pale denim, ivory trousers, navy, stone, soft grey and simple neutral layers. Keeping the rest of the outfit clean lets the pastel stripes feel intentional.

Can this V-neck jumper be layered?

Yes. The fine-gauge knit is light enough to layer under coats and jackets, and the V neckline can be worn over a camisole, vest or fine long-sleeve top.

Is this jumper suitable beyond spring?

Yes. Although the colours feel fresh, the cashmere and lambswool blend gives natural warmth, making Cherry useful for cool summer evenings, autumn days and winter layering.

Does the stripe design go all the way around?

The jumper is designed with a multi-stripe look across the knit, giving colour and movement from different angles rather than only at the front.

Is this women’s luxury knitwear jumper easy to wear every day?

Yes. Cherry feels special because of the cashmere blend and pastel stripe design, but the relaxed shape makes it simple enough for everyday outfits.

How should I protect the pastel colours?

Wash gently inside out with similar colours, use a wool or cashmere detergent, avoid harsh heat and dry flat away from strong direct sunlight.

Will the jumper feel heavy?

No. Cherry is made in a lightweight fine-gauge knit, so it gives soft warmth without feeling thick or bulky.

What makes Cherry different from a plain cashmere blend jumper?

The pastel stripe palette and V neckline give Cherry a more expressive, feminine character. It still has the comfort of a classic cashmere blend jumper, but with more colour and styling personality.

Why This Cashmere Cardigan Stands Out

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction for warmth and structure
  • Soft open collar for a relaxed, polished neckline
  • Signature pin fastening instead of traditional buttons
  • Relaxed silhouette for easy everyday layering
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a neat, shaped finish
  • Lightweight yet cosy feel
  • Designed for seasonless wear
  • Available in S/M and M/L

Carlota is designed with a soft open collar that frames the neckline without feeling formal. Unlike a classic button cardigan, the front is finished with a signature pin fastening, giving the piece a cleaner and more contemporary look.

The relaxed shape allows the cardigan to drape naturally rather than sitting tightly against the body. This gives Carlota an easy, elegant feel and makes it especially useful for layering over different outfits.

Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem add subtle structure, helping the cardigan keep its shape while maintaining softness. The overall silhouette feels refined but unforced — polished enough for smart styling, relaxed enough for everyday wear.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 4 Ply cashmere blend, Carlota has a soft, warm and lightly structured feel. The cashmere adds smoothness and luxury, while the lambswool brings durability, insulation and shape retention.

The result is a cashmere cardigan that feels cosy without becoming heavy. It is warm enough for cooler days, but still breathable and comfortable enough for indoor layering.

A collared cashmere cardigan offers a more polished look than a casual open cardigan, while still keeping the comfort of soft knitwear. The collar gives shape around the neckline and makes the cardigan feel more styled, even with very simple outfits.

Carlota is especially versatile because the pin fastening lets the front sit softly rather than pulling into a rigid button line. This gives the garment movement, elegance and a relaxed sense of luxury.

This cashmere cardigan is designed for those who prefer timeless knitwear with a modern detail. It is ideal if you want a piece that feels soft and luxurious, but not overly delicate or difficult to style.

Wear Carlota over a fine T-shirt for everyday ease, layer it with tailored trousers for a smarter look, or style it over a dress when you want warmth without losing elegance.

To keep your cashmere cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Remove the pin before washing or storing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Reshape the collar, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder line

What makes the Carlota cashmere cardigan different from a button cardigan?

Carlota is fastened with a signature pin rather than a row of buttons. This gives the front a softer, cleaner look and allows the cardigan to fall more naturally.

Can the pin fastening be removed?

Yes. The pin can be removed, which makes the cardigan easy to wear open and also helps protect the knit during washing or storage.

Does the open collar sit neatly?

Yes. The collar is designed to sit softly around the neckline, giving structure without feeling stiff or formal.

Which colour is better for a timeless wardrobe?

Stone is a classic neutral that pairs easily with black, navy, denim and cream. Buttermilk feels softer and lighter, especially with warm neutrals and pale tones.

Is Carlota suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The collar and pin fastening make Carlota feel more polished than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed fit keeps it comfortable and easy to wear.

Can this cardigan replace a light jacket?

In mild weather, yes. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit gives warmth and structure, making Carlota useful as a soft outer layer indoors or on cooler days.

How should I style the pin fastening?

Fasten the pin at the centre for a neat look, place it slightly off-centre for a softer drape, or remove it completely and wear the cardigan open.

How do I protect the collar shape?

After washing, reshape the collar gently while damp and dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the neckline and shoulders.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.
