Beautiful vintage Northern Isles cardigan in the most perfect taupe/greige tone. This one has such a thoughtful design — smooth knit panels through the body with textured waffle-knit sleeves that give it subtle shape and interest without feeling fussy. Classic round neckline, slightly cropped vintage proportions, and sweet decorative metal buttons down the front. Cozy but not bulky, and super easy to style layered over a tee or buttoned up on its own.

Timeless, understated, and very “quiet luxury” in that effortlessly elevated way vintage knits do so well. Made in Hong Kong from 100% wool — great quality with that soft, dense feel older knits are known for.

Pit to pit: 20”
Length: 20”
Tagged size 10 (fits like a modern women’s small–medium depending on desired fit)
