Dorian One Button Cardigan

Our one button cardigan is a quietly luxurious piece spun from a divine blend of 30% cashmere and 70% superfine lambswool. The fabric is airy yet indulgent, offering breathable warmth and a buttery-soft touch that feels exquisite against bare skin. Designed with intentional simplicity, Dorian fastens at the front with one luminous shell-detail button, drawing focus to the waist and allowing the beauty of the knit to speak for itself.

The tailored collar adds just the right amount of structure, while cropped 3⁄4 sleeves offer freedom of movement and year-round versatility. But the magic is in the motion: a set of fine pleats at the back unfurls slightly as you move, creating an elegant, swingy silhouette that’s as functional as it is flattering.

Cut to a mid-hip length and shaped to skim—not cling—this cardigan is built for style that moves with you. Whether draped over workwear or paired with denim and boots, Dorian delivers thoughtful design with timeless appeal. It travels beautifully, resists creasing, and layers like a dream.

If ever a cardigan could be described as poetic, Dorian is it.

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.

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.
