    DETAILS

    You reach for this cardigan when you want warmth that moves with you, not against you. The balloon sleeves catch the eye, then fade into effortless wear.

    Babette Cardigan in Starling by Marle is a Perino blend merino, possum, and silk knit created for everyday layered comfort. Soft yarn drapes lightly across the body. Round neckline and shell button closure give tidy structure and the balloon sleeves and ribbed hem allow movement without losing shape. Pairs with jeans, skirts, or layered over dresses.

    FAQs

    How does this differ from a slim-knit cardigan?
    This has a relaxed, balloon-sleeve silhouette that drapes rather than clings.

    Will it feel heavy on the body?
    No, lightweight Perino yarn keeps it comfortable and easy to layer.

    Can I wear it over a dress or jumper?
    Yes. The relaxed fit accommodates both fitted and slightly relaxed layers.

    Does the yarn soften over time?
    Yes. Merino/possum/silk blend gradually drapes even more beautifully with regular wear.

    CARE
    • Dry-clean only
    • Store flat or on wide hanger to retain shape
    • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
    • Handle gently to maintain yarn texture
