From Italy</b>","size_system":"EU","gender":"female","is_digital":"false","review_count":60,"q_and_a":[{"a":"Based on the material composition (52% viscose, 26% polyester, 22% nylon), we recommend hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry to preserve the sweater's shape and softness. Machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water in a mesh bag may be acceptable, but hand washing is safest for this viscose blend.","q":"How should this sweater be cared for? Does it require hand washing or can it be machine washed?"},{"a":"This sweater's fiber blend (52% viscose, 26% polyester, 22% nylon) does include viscose, which is known to pill over time with friction. However, the polyester and nylon content adds durability and resistance to pilling compared to pure viscose, and the 'stretch fine knit' construction may help minimize it. To extend the life of the garment, we recommend gentle washing and avoiding rough surfaces.","q":"Is this sweater prone to pilling due to the viscose/polyester blend?"},{"a":"The fine knit is described as 'cozy' and 'stretch,' which suggests it's substantial enough to be opaque under normal conditions. Light-colored versions may have slight transparency under bright light, but the fabric weight (52% viscose blend) typically prevents a dark bra from being visible.","q":"How sheer or opaque is the knit? Will a dark bra be visible under light colors?"},{"a":"The sweater is manufactured in Italy and imported as a finished garment. The 'exclusive collection from Italy' refers to the entire sweater being made in Italy, not just the yarn. The product listing states 'Imported from Italy exclusively at Contemporaine,' indicating the completed sweater is imported. The origin of the yarn is not specified.","q":"What is the origin of the 'exclusive collection from Italy'—is the yarn Italian, or is the sweater manufactured in Italy?"}],"reviews":[{"date":"March 19, 2026","tags":["Fabric","Comfort","Quality"],"title":"Soft, comfy and so well made ~","rating":5,"content":"Beautiful piece … well made, high quality, smart and comfy too.","reviewer_name":"Brenda T."},{"date":"April 30, 2026","tags":["Fabric","Style"],"title":"La coupe, le tissu","rating":5,"content":"La coupe, le tissu","reviewer_name":"Sonia V."},{"date":"April 12, 2026","tags":["Sizing & Fit","Fabric","Comfort"],"title":"Luxe Sweater","rating":5,"content":"Colour is rich, material is so soft and sizing is good.
