Alena Cardigan

This charcoal cardigan features a deliberate, semi-sheer pointelle knit that breaks up the vertical ribbing with subtle, open-work texture. It sits close to the torso with a classic crew neckline and tonal buttons, nodding to the slim-fit silhouettes of mid-century knitwear. Wear it buttoned up to lean into the vintage aesthetic, or leave the bottom buttons undone to play with the proportions of your waistline.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The composition is dominated by synthetic acrylic and nylon, which are petroleum-based plastics that lack natural breathability and contribute to microplastic shedding. The inclusion of only 5% lambswool is insufficient to offset the synthetic nature of the fabric, which may trap heat and moisture against the skin.
