Chunky Cashmere Collar Cardie, Forest

One of the most luxurious pieces we've ever had in store, this striking cardie is done in an amazingly soft cashmere that offers serious warmth without the bulk. The Fissore brand is known for its superlatively fine knitwear; each garment is individually dyed and often hand-painted. This piece offers a beige base, with painterly touches of emerald and ruby accents; it has an open-front construction, with a small shirt collar and front pockets. So, so good.
