Full details

FAQs

What does ‘Knitted in Germany’ signify?

‘Knitted in Germany’ indicates that the yarns were knitted on advanced machinery and the materials were finished within Germany, adhering to high standards of quality and production.

Can I wear this cardigan in warm weather?

While the knit is expressive, it's not excessively heavy. It can be worn in cooler spring or autumn weather. For very warm days, it might be too warm due to the yarn composition.

How do I find the matching skirt?

The matching skirt is a separate item. You can typically find it by searching for the same brand and collection, or by looking for specific product codes related to this cardigan.

Is the sequin yarn scratchy?

The sequins are incorporated with fine sequin yarn, and the smoothie yarn is used for a pleasant feel. While subjective, the intention is for the yarn to provide highlights without significant scratchiness. However, individuals with very sensitive skin might notice it.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for Marc Cain. Generally, for fitted knitwear, if you are between sizes and prefer a less snug fit, consider sizing up. However, the padded shoulders might affect the fit, so consulting the chart is best.

Can this cardigan be machine washed?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash this cardigan in cold water to preserve the delicate yarns and sequins. Machine washing is not advised.

Troubleshooting

Sequins appear loose or damaged.

Gently smooth the sequin with your fingertip. If a sequin has fallen off, consider a professional repair service or a fabric glue suitable for delicate items. Avoid harsh rubbing.

Cardigan loses its shape after washing.

Ensure the garment was laid flat to dry and was not hung while wet. Re-shape gently and lay flat again. Hand wash and avoid machine drying in the future.

The knit appears to be snagging.

Carefully remove any snag by gently pulling the yarn from the reverse side or by using a fine-toothed comb or needle to ease it back into the knit. Avoid catching the fabric on rough surfaces.

Pilling on the fabric surface.

Minor pilling can often be removed carefully with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Avoid excessive friction on the material.

Care Instructions:
