Philosophy

Spectacular and enveloping, the PHILOSOPHY cardigan is an exceptional piece crafted in 100% 8-ply drop-stitch cashmere. Its maxi length, generous shawl collar and cable knit work give it the look of a knitted coat, both sophisticated and deeply comfortable.

Worn open, without any closure, it naturally envelops the silhouette and gives full room to the volume and texture of the cashmere.

A cashmere coat

The PHILOSOPHY plays with the length and generosity of the knit to create a spectacular silhouette.

Its large shawl collar drapes naturally around the neck and follows the lines of the cardigan, while the cables lend texture and depth to this generously proportioned piece.

Worn open, with no closure, it is worn freely, like a large cardigan or a knitted coat. Over a dress, it creates a long and feminine silhouette. Paired with tailored trousers or a more relaxed ensemble, it immediately becomes the centrepiece of the outfit.

The craftsmanship

The 8-ply cashmere provides a generous and sufficiently substantial material to reveal all the richness of the cable knit work.

The PHILOSOPHY is however crafted using a particular technique: the drop-stitch knit.

Unlike a dense and compact knit, drop-stitching involves working the yarns in a deliberately more open construction. The resulting knit is more airy, more supple and visually more generous, whilst limiting the weight that a piece of this length in 8-ply would naturally carry.

This technique also allows light to play more freely with the textures of the knit and particularly enhances the softness of the cashmere.

The cable work further enriches this construction. Its pattern must remain regular whilst preserving the characteristic suppleness of the drop-stitch knit.

What is a drop-stitch knit?

A drop-stitch knit is deliberately knitted in a more open manner than a classic knit.

This technique makes it possible to:

• to obtain a knit that is more airy and more supple
• to create greater volume without adding weight to the piece
• to give the knit a more contemporary and relaxed appearance
• highlight the naturally soft and airy character of cashmere
• achieve a generous piece whilst using less material than a very dense construction of the same weight

The result is a knit with a distinctive character, whose slightly open appearance is fully part of the style of the piece.

A standout winter piece

With its maxi length, shawl collar, cables and 8-ply drop-stitch cashmere, the PHILOSOPHY combines the comfort of an oversized cardigan with the presence of a coat.

A spectacular piece to wrap oneself in, designed for those who seek generous, original and resolutely contemporary cashmere.

As the drop-stitch knit is deliberately more open and delicate, please follow the care instructions carefully in order to preserve the shape and beauty of the PHILOSOPHY over time.
