"Blondie" Cardigan

$13.00

Inspired by the style of Debbie Harry and the glamour of vintage knitwear, the “Blondie” Cardigan pairs polished retro styling with the soft airy halo of mohair.

A classic crew neck raglan with a subtle purl texture, bracelet sleeves, and thoughtful shaping throughout. The mohair creates a delicate haze around the stitches, giving the finished cardigan a soft, dreamy glow without losing its sharp silhouette.

Finished with a clean double neckband and vintage-inspired details. Perfect with high-waisted denim, leopard prints, cigarette pants, and your favorite worn-in band tee.
