The Philomena sweater exudes effortless elegance with a vintage touch.

Its textured stitch pattern creates a bold, structured look, highlighted by a striking cable that flows from the saddle shoulder down the sleeve. The central panel showcases this cable alongside a series of finer, intricate ones, adding depth and refinement. Designed with a cropped silhouette, round neckline with a subtle decorative line, and a relaxed fit, the Philomena balances sophistication with modern ease.

The model in the picture is 169 cm / 5’75” tall and wears a Size 2.
