Short, generous and resolutely contemporary, the SANTIAGO cardigan is crafted in 100% 8-ply yak. Its thick, enveloping knit meets a deliberately cropped cut and a boxy volume to create a strong silhouette, perfectly balanced with high-waisted trousers and skirts.
Its single-button fastening defines the piece and allows it to be worn open or closed, depending on the desired look.

A short, graphic silhouette
The SANTIAGO deliberately plays with proportions. Its cropped length highlights the waist, while its boxy volume and dropped armholes create a relaxed, supple and thoroughly contemporary silhouette.
Worn open, it takes on the look of a relaxed short jacket, revealing the different layers of the outfit. Fastened by its single button, it becomes more graphic and fully asserts its construction.
Its length is particularly well suited to high-waisted trousers, but also works beautifully with a skirt or dress to play on contrasting volumes.
The two patch pockets complete the silhouette with a functional touch and reinforce its casual chic spirit.
The craftsmanship
The yak is a natural fibre particularly prized for its softness and insulating qualities. The fine down that protects the animal from extreme climatic conditions yields a warm and comfortable knit while retaining a pleasant suppleness.
Worked here in 8 plies, it gives the SANTIAGO a thick, generous knit, perfectly suited to its boxy volume.
This construction requires precise work on proportions: the body's volume, the dropped armholes and the deliberately short length must be balanced to achieve the graphic drape that is characteristic of the piece.
The 1×1 ribs worked on the pockets and at the cuffs add texture and discreetly structure this generous knit.
Yak in its cropped form
With its 8-ply yak, cropped length and single-button fastening, the SANTIAGO subverts the codes of the traditional cardigan to offer a more fashion-forward silhouette.
A warm and characterful piece, designed for those who love to combine exceptional materials and contemporary volumes.
