Saffira is a classic crew necked cardigan with a nod to Chanel shaping. Its sophisticated neatness is transformed by a beautiful beaded motif that is added by following a chart - if you can knit and purl, you can add beads! We love the simplicity of this cardigan, it is a perfect addition to any evening outfit: it sits neatly around bare shoulders with an elegant dress, or paired with smart trousers.
