This cardigan, crafted from Kala cotton, offers a relaxed fit and a mid-weight knit, suggesting a comfortable drape and breathability. The dropped shoulder seam further enhances its easy-wearing appeal.
Sustainability Impact 90/100
This cardigan showcases a positive sustainability approach by utilizing Kala cotton, a fiber grown in India, aligning with the brand's commitment to local sourcing and craftsmanship. Furthermore, the "Responsible Craftsmanship" designation highlights the promotion of artisanal skills, community investment, and adherence to fair-trade principles.
