LAUREN BRUSHED CASHMERE CARDIGAN SOFT ROSE

The Lauren Brushed Cashmere Cardigan in Soft Rose by Vera & Josie is the definition of quiet luxury - the kind you feel the moment you slip it on.

Crafted from 100% brushed cashmere, it has an extraordinary softness that feels light and soft against the skin. The brushed finish elevates the natural fibres into something even more indulgent, with a plush, cloud-like texture that makes everyday dressing feel considered and special. 

Designed with a relaxed silhouette, Lauren drapes effortlessly without losing its shape, creating an easy elegance that works throughout your day. A soft, round neckline keeps the look clean and feminine, while delicate tonal pearl-style buttons add a refined point of interest down the front. Finished with ribbed cuffs and hem, it has a subtle structure that beautifully balances its softness.

This is the cardigan you reach for without thinking - over a silk camisole in the morning, layered with denim on weekends, or buttoned up as a standalone knit when you want something simple yet elevated.

CARE

Your Vera  Josie cashmere is designed to be worn, loved, and cherished for years to come. With gentle care, it will retain its beautifully soft handle and luxurious finish season after season.

Hand Washing Instructions

• Hand wash gently in cool water using a delicate wool or cashmere detergent.
• Avoid rubbing, wringing, or twisting the garment.
• Carefully press out excess water without stretching the fibres.
• Lay the garment flat on a clean towel, roll gently, and press to absorb moisture.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat on a towel or drying rack.
  Dry away from direct sunlight and direct heat sources.

Ongoing Care

• Fold rather than hang to help preserve the natural shape.
• Store with cedar or lavender to help protect delicate fibres.
• Light pilling may occur with wear due to the nature of cashmere; gently remove using a cashmere comb.
• Avoid over-washing - often a simple air between wears is enough to refresh the garment.
