Verified claims
- fit
- Standard/regular fit, true to size, not oversized like Sacai's hybrid jackets
- material
- Knit front is 54% cotton / 46% polyester; attached back panel is 100% polyester voile
- design
- Mixed-material design pairs a solid black knit front with a leopard-print voile back panel
- voile_behavior
- Voile back panel is lightweight, semi-sheer, drapey and pleated into a flared lower back
- crinkle_care
- The back panel's crinkle is heat-set into the polyester and won't press out from hanging, but washing can ruin it
- care_instructions
- Dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or tumble dry; iron with or without steam
- ironing
- If pressing, use low heat and steam with light pressure, and avoid pressing the crinkle flat
- two_way_zip
- Two-way zip opens from both the top and the hem for adjustable room, ventilation and layering
- zip_operation
- To close a two-way zip, seat both sides at the bottom, insert the free edge into both sliders, and pull the top slider up while holding the bottom slider still
- pockets
- Front patch pockets are functional but open knit, so heavy daily loads can stretch them
- construction
- V-neck, stretch ribbed edging, ribbed cuffs and hem, patch front pockets, exposed two-way zip, made in Japan
- brand_context
- Sacai, founded in Tokyo in 1999 by Chitose Abe, is known for reinterpreting basics through contrasting materials
- styling
- Bold statement piece that turns heads, best styled as the focal point of a layered look
- use_cases
- Suited to creative casual settings, layering, travel and situations where adjustable hem room helps
- tradeoffs
- High-maintenance dry-clean care, delicate crinkle, semi-sheer back and stretch-prone open knit pockets
- value
- At 1450 CAD, the price reflects Sacai design, mixed-material construction and made-in-Japan production rather than basic knit value
- durability
- Polyester voile holds its crinkle and print color well if cared for, while the knit front needs protection from stretching and over-washing
- comparison
- More true-to-size and wearable than Sacai's oversized hybrid jackets, but still a statement mixed-material piece
- print_optics
- Leopard print on crinkled voile may read slightly uneven or distorted, which suits the irregular motif
- color
- Patterned Black

Making a bold fashion statement with a statement cardigan
This leopard print cardigan combines a cotton-blend knit front with a fully wrinkled, flowy voile back panel for a striking dual-texture look. It is a bold piece for showcasing Sacai's distinctive experimental aesthetics, per the retailer.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Leopard Print Voile Mixed Materials Cardigan: Choose this if you want a bold statement layer that shows off Sacai's experimental aesthetic: a black cotton-blend stretch knit front (54% cotton, 46% polyester) with a flowy, lightweight voile back panel in a vibrant leopard print. It pairs a V-neck and two-way silver front zipper with patch front pockets, ribbed cuffs and hem, and narrow leopard panels at the side seams, in a standard-to-cropped silhouette with long sleeves. Keep in mind the back is fully wrinkled, semi-sheer voile that flares in soft pleats away from the body, so it reads as a contrasting layer rather than a plain knit cardigan.[1,2,3,4] | Button-Up Mock-Neck Wool Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, boxy cardigan in 100 percent wool with a low mock neck, full front button placket, and patch pockets. Its signature detail is adjustable side snap vents with contrasting inner fabric showing when unfastened, plus ribbed hem and cuffs and a small metallic S charm at the hem. Note that the straight hem sits above the hips on the photographed model, so the cropped fit may vary on other bodies.[5,6,7] | Red Wool Cardigan: Choose this if you want a vibrant red, 100 percent wool cardigan with a refined, clean silhouette that — per the merchant — lets the knit and colour take centre stage. It's a cropped, slightly boxy V-neck style with ribbed trim at the placket, hem, and extended cuffs, three glossy black buttons down the front, and two small front welt pockets. Note that the hem ends at the waist, so it won't work if you're after a longer cardigan, and it's listed in sizes 1 and 2 in red.[8,9,10,11] |
