Full details

Its key benefit is the blend of comfort and sophisticated style, achieved through a lightweight cotton mix and a flattering silhouette. A potential caveat is the hand-wash-only care instruction.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this cardigan?
The cardigan is primarily made from a blend of 79% cotton, 19% nylon, and 2% elastane.
How should I wash this cardigan?
It is recommended to hand wash the cardigan in cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What does the 'relaxed silhouette with a fitted hem' mean?
This means the body of the cardigan is cut loosely for comfort, but the bottom band is designed to be slightly snugger to sit neatly at the hip without riding up.
Is this cardigan suitable for very cold weather?
Due to its lightweight cotton blend, it is best suited for mild to cool weather or as a layering piece rather than for extreme cold.
Where is this cardigan made?
This cardigan is made in China.
What are the 'non-textile parts of animal origin' mentioned?
This typically refers to components like shell buttons, which are derived from natural materials.
How do I determine the right size?
The cardigan is cut to the hip. Size M has a length of 56 cm, with variations of approximately 1.27 cm between sizes. Refer to standard sizing charts and consider the relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Cardigan loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are strictly following the 'hand wash cold' and 'lay flat to dry' instructions. Avoid wringing the fabric excessively.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric.
The blend includes nylon, which can be prone to pilling with excessive friction. Avoid abrasive surfaces and ensure careful washing. Minor pilling can often be gently removed with a fabric shaver.
Color transfer during washing.
Although white, if washing with other garments, use cold water and wash separately to prevent any accidental color transfer, especially during the first few washes.
Embroidery appears damaged.
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a protective cloth over the embroidery.
