Quality Analysis 60/100

This cardigan, crafted from a mid-weight waffle-knit cotton-blend, offers a comfortable and stylish fit. While the enamel buttons suggest a touch of quality, the "Dry clean" care instruction, without further durability justification, hints that it may not be designed for rigorous everyday wear.

This cardigan is made from a cotton-blend, which includes conventional polyamide and elastane without any mention of recycled content, indicating a neutral sustainability profile.
