About Alkaid
Knit in Gilliat, the round and cosy yarn by De Rerum Natura, it is one of those sweaters you pull on without a second thought, to warm up and feel instantly at ease.
Its loose, comfortable fit, enhanced by a generous V-neck, makes it an easy piece to live in, as suited to everyday life as to gentler, quieter moments.
On the front, a wide asymmetric cable catches the light and adds a touch of originality to this cosy sweater, playing between modernity and tradition.
Alkaid is a warm essential, designed to last and to carry you through the seasons — a bright star that brings the journey to a beautiful close.
