How should I clean this cardigan?
This cardigan must be dry cleaned only. Do not machine wash or hand wash.
What does 'melange' mean in the context of the color?
Melange refers to a yarn or fabric made from a mixture of different colored fibers, creating a mottled or heathered effect. In this case, 'dark grey melange' indicates a grey fabric with subtle variations in tone.
What is the closure type?

Where is this garment made?
The cardigan is made in Italy.
Does the cardigan contain any animal-derived materials?

What are the specific care instructions for the crystal embroidery?
The crystal embroidery should not be washed directly. If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side and avoid contact with the embroidery.
Troubleshooting
Cardigan appears stretched out of shape.
Ensure the cardigan is stored folded rather than hung. If the material has lost its shape, professional dry cleaning may help to restore it. Avoid washing.
Pilling on the wool/cashmere surface.
This is a natural characteristic of wool and cashmere. Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or a cashmere comb. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Crystal embellishment has come loose.
Contact a professional tailor or the manufacturer for repair options. Avoid pulling or snagging the embroidery.
