She collects things that outlast them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrato, Italy. A textile town that has been weaving fabric since the Middle Ages and has never once stopped caring about how it's done. This cardigan came out of that tradition — manufactured by \u003cstrong\u003eMaglificio Ites S.r.l.\u003c\/strong\u003e in the late 1990s \/ early Y2K era, when Italian private-label knitwear was at its quiet, confident peak. It wasn't made for a logo. It was made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is the first thing you notice: a textured horizontal micro-stripe in marled charcoal and black that reads like tweed but feels nothing like it — soft, structured, and with that distinctly Italian brushed surface texture that comes from the alpaca and wool content woven into the blend. The aesthetic is unmistakably Chanel-inspired — ladylike, Parisian, and quietly luxurious — with beautifully distressed frayed fringe trim running the full length of the front opening and framing two decorative faux hip pockets in the manner of a classic bouclé jacket. At the scooped neckline, a delicate built-in knit string-tie gathers and fastens at the bust — wear it tied for a polished finish, or loosely draped for something more effortless. Pair it over a slip dress, with tailored trousers, or thrown over your best denim. Exactly the kind of thing she’d collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: M (no clothing or size tag present — please refer to measurements)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: 75% Acrylic, 10% Wool, 10% Viscose, 5% Alpaca — medium-weight knit with a soft hand and structural drape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Marled charcoal and black micro-stripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Chanel-inspired knit cardigan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeckline: Scoop neck with built-in knit string-tie, fastens at the bust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouette: Relaxed knit cardigan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails: Frayed fringe trim along full front opening and decorative faux hip pocket flaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePockets: Two decorative faux front hip pockets (not functional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeves: Long sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Delicate machine wash 30°C or dry clean.
