    DETAILS

    A soft-spoken layer with a refined touch of luxury.

    The Babette Cardigan in Buff by Marle is crafted from a premium blend of merino, possum, and silk, creating an exceptionally soft, lightweight knit with natural warmth and a smooth, refined hand-feel. The buff tone is a warm, pale neutral that feels gentle and versatile, making it an easy layering piece across tonal winter dressing or softer seasonal palettes.

    Designed in a relaxed, slightly cropped silhouette, it sits neatly on the body without feeling restrictive. A classic crew neckline keeps the shape clean and timeless, while the centre front shell button closure adds a delicate, natural detail. Long sleeves taper into fine ribbed cuffs, echoed at the hem to maintain a soft structure. The result is a cardigan that feels light, warm, and quietly elevated - perfect for layering or wearing as a standalone knit.
