FAQs
How does the Aquarium Cream Cotton Cardigan colourway differ from the blue Aquarium version?
The cream cardigan offers a softer, more neutral take on the design, with a lighter base that gives the pattern a more subtle feel. Both are based on the same 1995 archive knit, interpreted through different colourways. See Aquarium Cotton Blue Cardigan
