The cardigan has a credibility problem that mostly comes down to how it photographs versus how it actually performs. On a model, in good light, everything looks considered. In real life, the wrong one pills after three wears, bags at the elbows, and loses its shape the first time it meets a washing machine. That is what we were thinking about when we put this collection together. Not how these look on a hanger but how they hold up across the kind of Saturday that starts with coffee at home and ends somewhere that requires a bit more effort. We have been particularly focused on weight and structure, because a cardigan that collapses into itself the moment you sit down is not doing the job. Button quality matters more than most people think too. The ones here are built to be worn, repeatedly and without babying. That is the standard we applied and everything in this collection met it.
