Blume is a classic pullover perching serenely in a comfortable spot between oversized and fitted. Its fabric features rippling cables surrounding purls on a predominantly stockinette body, rather like marbled rock or traveling vines. While expressively textured, the allover placement of the cables makes Blume’s fabric appear evenly balanced and leaves enough room for a deep and luxurious folded-over turtleneck to weather the crisp chill.
