Star Cardigan in Denim.
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!
Bought as a gift, received as promised. Recipient reports many complements already!
I absolutely love the sweater. Great quality, extra button and a bit of wool for repairs, information about who made the sweater,.. i am so happy!!
The texture is kind of itchy but I wear a shirt underneath it and it’s okay. Amazing quality sweater and I love how whimsical it is
i love this cardigan! i had originally ordered a regular sweater of the same style but had to return it due to sizing issues. they let me exchange it for a cardigan and if i’m being honest, i prefer it to the pullover. they also sent me an extra button and they’re adorable! this immediately became one of my prized possessions. thanks to james for being so nice and making it an incredibly easy process.
