Quality Analysis 70/100

This cardigan, crafted from a mid-weight cotton and linen-blend, offers comfortable texture. While the hand-wash care suggests a need for gentle handling, the blend itself is generally durable for everyday wear.

This cardigan is designed for comfort, featuring a soft cotton and linen-blend that feels pleasant against the skin. Its relaxed fit and mid-weight knit ensure a comfortable drape without being restrictive.

Sustainability Impact 70/100
