It's just as gorgeous in person as I'd hoped! Soft, comfy, and not at all itchy. I'm a UK size 12 and ordered the L, which is a perfect oversized fit.
I got my Star Cardigan Last week and i really Love it so much! I got a Size M (i'm usually Size S-M) and it fits me perfectly (i'm 158cm) got so many compliments already! Had an issue with a Button, but customer Service from James was super quick and helpful. The wool is very soft and thick and it really is a lovely high Quality piece. I will probably wear it all the time :D now i must Safe some Money for the pink-red Version cause they are all so beautiful! All Heart eyes! 🥰😍
Very pleased with the quality and fit of this beautiful cardigan so far. May last Amano cardigan has lasted me over 20 years and is still going strong. I still receive compliments about it. These lovely pieces are clearly made with love and care :)
I have been creeping around eBay trying to get this sweater, but was never lucky enough to find one. Finally bit the bullet and ordered - it’s perfect! I have already worn this piece many times since I got it in the mail. It’s so warm and cute!!!
Wasn't expecting it to arrive as soon as it did, the quality was amazing and my partner loves it very much. Definitely worth the money!
