Sanni Pauliina wanted to design a relaxed cardigan to stroll around in the blooming garden in, slightly inspired by the linen duster jackets she has been seeing. If You Believe is a piece you can easily throw on and your outfit is immediately elevated. It is an airy and light garment worked in single-ply Finnish wool.
