GERMAN PATTERN COMING SOON

In Greek mythology, ‘Boreas’ (/ˌbɔːri.əs/) is known as the god of the north wind. The sweater is inspired by the sweater silhouettes of the 90s, which often took inspiration from ‘work-wear’ and the more masculine constructions. This can be seen, for example, on the neck, which is inspired by polo collars, but without the entire collar, to preserve the feminine expression. Boreas has a relaxed and boxy fit, where the construction of the neck allows you to play with the styling, depending on how open you want to use the neck.
