Product Insights
The Lustrous Ribbon-Knit Cardigan by Contemporaine is a soft and stretchy knit made from 65% reprocessed acrylic and 35% nylon, offering a comfortable, non-scratchy fit that can be sized down for a more tailored silhouette. Its main tradeoff is the delicate ribbon-knit texture prone to snagging from jewelry and rough surfaces, necessitating careful care: machine wash cool in a fine-mesh bag with mild detergent, lay flat to dry, and fold for storage. Button security is strong, and steam can restore its sheen, while at $69 CAD it sits between Twik and ICONE, with a sale price of $29.95 (57% off) placing it below fast fashion.

Color not the same
I wanted this sweater for the rich color it shows in the picture but it is more like a dull brown. It is a button up and I think snaps would have been a nicer touch. Great fitting otherwise but I will be returning it.
Joli couleur
La texture du cardigan en maille n'est pas agreable à porter car rugueux. Manches beaucoup trop longues. Elles doivent etre pliees 2 fois.
