FAQs
Is the sizing true to fit?
The cardigan features an oversized fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No. The wool material will shrink and potentially damage the delicate knit structure if subjected to dryer heat.
What is the primary material used?
The garment is crafted from high-quality wool.
How do I identify the authentic Vivienne Westwood piece?
Authentic pieces feature the distinctive Orb embroidery, typically found on the chest area.
What should I do if the button becomes loose?
As with any fine-knit garment, you can reinforce the button attachment with matching thread, being careful not to pull the delicate knit fabric.
Is this cardigan suitable for sensitive skin?
While the wool is high-quality, those with specific wool sensitivities may prefer to wear a light base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Small lint or fibers appearing on the surface
Gently use a fabric shaver or a dedicated wool comb to remove pilling, working in the direction of the knit.
Garment losing shape
Avoid hanging the cardigan; fold it neatly and store it on a flat shelf to prevent gravity from stretching the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your cardigan remains in pristine condition, avoid machine washing. Due to the fine-knit wool composition, it is highly recommended to dry clean the garment professionally. If you must wash it at home, use a pH-neutral wool detergent in cool water, gently squeeze—do not wring—and lay flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct sunlight. To maintain the shape, store the cardigan folded rather than hung on a hanger, as the weight of the wool can cause the shoulders to distort over time.
