    DETAILS

    A modern knit with Karen Walker's signature graphic edge.

    The Runaway Knit Cardigan in Lilac by Karen Walker combines easy softness with clean structure. Made from smooth 100% recycled polyester knit as part of the Re:Knit collection, this contemporary cardigan features a defined collar, streamlined shape and distinctive double-ended arrow zipper that can be styled open or zipped through.

    Subtle Runaway details add a considered graphic element to a versatile layering piece. The Lilac colourway brings personality to simple wardrobes, while the zip-through design works equally well as a top or layered over a tank.
