Product Insights
Chitose Abe's design philosophy reengineers the classic cardigan through contrasting details and Japanese craftsmanship, resulting in a pure cashmere piece with signature buttoned side vents that adjust the hem from straight to A-line. The S Crest Pure Cashmere Cardigan, priced at CAD 1,695 and made in Japan, offers a true-to-size relaxed fit that works on petite frames without overwhelming, while the rounded front hem and metal 'S' monogram reinforce Sacai's design language. However, pure cashmere trades durability for softness and warmth—making it less durable than Sacai's cotton-cashmere blend—and requires professional dry cleaning, with pilling being a manageable but expected aspect.

Item looked very pilled upon delivery. I was very worried this would progress and didn’t think it was worth it to take the risk given the price point.
