Item #450 - FRANÇOISE Cardigan in Merino Wool - Beige

The FRANÇOISE merino cardigan is the result of a dynamic collaboration between Julie and Madeleine, two fashion designers whose friendship brings together contrasting yet complementary styles. This cardigan seamlessly blends the distinctive, upbeat flair of SIXSŒURS with the timeless elegance of L'Envers knitwear. With its assertive, trendy silhouette and soft, timeless knit, FRANÇOISE embodies the best of both brands' DNA, while the XXL volume of the puff sleeves add a touch of drama to any look. A timeless and high-quality piece to cherish, wear, and pass on for generations to come.

Style note: Elevate your ensemble by pairing FRANÇOISE with denim overalls for a chic and casual vibe, or layer it over corduroy pants for effortless sophistication.

Caring for merino wool is easy !

• Wash : on the wool cycle of your washing machine inside a wash bag or by hand in cold water. Either way, use very little detergent, do not rub or twist the yarn. 
• Dry : remove excess water, reshape your knit and lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight and never in a tumble dryer. 
• Care : remove any wrinkles using steam or a low-heat iron on the wool setting, avoiding the seams. Use a wool comb or fabric shaver to gently remove piling that may appear after a few wears. 
• Store : Keep your knits folded rather than hung on hangers to avoid stretching them down. Palace natural moth repellents in your wardrobe for safekeeping.

Investing in a sustainable knitwear item from L'Envers provides significant long-term value compared to fast-fashion alternatives. While fast-fashion pieces may be cheaper initially, they often require frequent replacements due to poor quality. L'Envers items, crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly materials like mulesing-free wool and organic cotton, are designed to last for years, thus reducing their cost per wear and their environmental impact.
At L'Envers, we focus on sustainable practices by knitting on demand in a family-run atelier in Spain, ensuring fair wages and avoiding overproduction. Our durable items offer more wears over time than their fast-fashion alternatives. Additionally, the way you care for your clothes plays a big role in their longevity. You can find extensive advice on garment care on our website. While very durable, our pieces are not eternal and their natural materials will eventually show signs of time. We believe this adds a je-ne-sais-quoi and is something to celebrate. Eventually, at the end of their lifespan, L'Envers pieces can be repurposed or recycled, leaving no lasting pollution. This makes our timeless knitwear a cost-efficient and eco-friendly investment. Join us in the slow fashion revolution.
