Dottie has a thing for making an entrance. Knitted from 100% merino wool in dusty denim blue, she’s covered in playful red polka dots and finished with natural agoya shell buttons and vintage lace cuffs.

The cuffs are made from saved and repurposed vintage lace offcuts, so the pattern varies slightly from one Dottie to the next.

Available for preorder now. Ships by November 1.

Description

The Dottie Cardigan is a classic crew neck cardigan with a bit more personality than most. Knitted from 100% Merino wool in dusty denim blue, she is scattered with red polka dots and fastens with natural agoya shell buttons.

Her cuffs are finished with vintage lace, saved from offcuts and given a second life. Because every piece of lace is different, no two Dotties are exactly alike. Yours will be one of a kind.

Merino is naturally soft, breathable and warm without the bulk, and this yarn is machine washable at 40°C. Wear her buttoned up with a skirt, open over a dress, or over your shoulders when the evening turns cool.

Available to pre-order now, shipping by 1 November.

Care Instructions:

Machine wash at 40°C on a wool or delicates cycle using a gentle wool detergent. Fasten the buttons and turn inside out before washing. A mesh laundry bag will help protect the vintage lace cuffs. Do not bleach and do not use fabric softener. Do not tumble dry. Reshape while damp and dry flat, away from direct heat. Cool iron or steam on the reverse if needed, avoiding the shell buttons and lace.

Materials

100% Merino Wool. Natural agoya shell buttons. Cuffs trimmed with repurposed vintage lace.

Why we love it

Because polka dots are never really a phase. Dottie is the cardigan you'll grab when you want to look pulled together without trying too hard. She's soft, warm and easy to wash. The lace cuffs make her feel like a vintage find you were lucky enough to spot first.

Sustainability

Dottie's lace cuffs are made from saved and repurposed vintage lace offcuts, giving beautiful materials a second life instead of sending them to landfill.

She is knitted from 100% natural, biodegradable Merino wool and finished with natural agoya shell buttons. The yarn is easy-care and machine washable at 40°C, so she keeps her shape and softness wash after wash.

Pre-order drops mean we only make what is wanted, helping to reduce overproduction.

Thoughtfully made, naturally biodegradable, and designed to last.
