The Cloudlight Cardigan is delicately crafted with Penna, a luxurious blend of baby suri alpaca, merino wool, and nylon. The resulting lightweight, airy fabric exudes a soft halo effect, enhancing the garment’s elegance and warmth. Its gentle drape and understated texture make it a versatile addition to any wardrobe, ideal for layering over a simple top or pairing with neutral-toned trousers. The cardigan’s relaxed yet polished design strikes a balance between comfort and sophistication, making it perfect for both casual and refined settings.SKILL
