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.

Verified claims

Snagging
Ribbon-knit texture prone to snagging from jewelry and rough surfaces.
Material
65% reprocessed acrylic, 35% nylon: soft and stretchy, not scratchy
Washing
Machine wash cool (20–30°C) inside a fine-mesh bag with a liquid delicate detergent.
Drying and storage
Store folded and lay flat to dry to prevent stretching.
Lustre
Steam from a distance or shave pills to restore sheen.
Sizing down
Size down for a more fitted silhouette; the relaxed fit is designed to be roomy.
Stretch fit
Stretch knit provides forgiving comfort and prevents gaping.
Care
Wash cool, dry flat, and fold to maintain the relaxed fit.
Brand positioning
At $69, Contemporaine sits between Twik and ICONE, designed in Canada.
Sale price value
At $29.95, it is 57% off ($69) and below fast-fashion.
Button security
Typically sewn securely; fasten easily without gaping despite the relaxed fit.
Softness and hand feel
The knit is designed to feel soft, comfortable, and stretchy, but at least one buyer found the texture rough and unpleasant against the skin.
Color accuracy
One buyer found the deep burgundy color duller and more brown than the online photo suggests.
Sleeve length
At least one buyer found the sleeves much too long and had to fold them twice.

Color not the same

Corrine H.

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.
