The ribbed cuffs and hem add subtle structure, while the relaxed fit moves with you through your busiest days.

Fabric & Construction
We crafted the Helsa Elvira Cardigan from a premium cotton-blend knit that balances softness with lasting durability. The 65% cotton base delivers natural breathability and a luxurious hand-feel, while the polyester blend enhances shape retention so the cardigan maintains its refined drape season after season.
The lightweight knit structure provides just enough warmth for layering without bulk, making it ideal for transitional weather and air-conditioned spaces. Our proprietary finishing process ensures the fabric resists pilling and holds its color vibrancy through countless washes.
