YO.V.KI CARDIGAN

Knitted from the top down in Merino Sport, YO.V.KI plays with lines and relief, between softness and structure. The back, worked first, gradually gives way to the fronts, which are built separately and shape a deep, balanced V-neck, edged with a button band. The pattern then naturally leads the eye from the neck to the hem, like a common thread running through the whole design.

Designed to be comfortable without being overly roomy, YO.V.KI is a cardigan that is easy to wear every day. Its soft volume, dropped shoulders and interplay of textures give it a discreet yet confident presence.

A variation on a familiar theme, like a melody we love to hear again, but where a few notes are enough to tell a different story.
