    DETAILS

    Colour, character, and everyday versatility.

    The Elodie Cardigan in Poppy Stripe by Karen Walker reimagines a classic knit silhouette with a bold, playful edge. Crafted from pure merino wool, it offers natural softness, breathable warmth, and a lightweight feel that makes it ideal for year-round layering.

    Designed with a flattering, close-to-body fit, the Elodie is elevated by its vibrant poppy stripe pattern, adding instant personality while maintaining refined proportions. The double-ended zip brings modern versatility, allowing you to wear it fully zipped as a statement knit top or open over dresses, denim, or shirting for a more relaxed layered look.

    Finished with Karen Walker’s signature K flag embroidery at the chest, this cardigan balances playful design with considered detailing. It’s an effortless piece that lifts everyday outfits while remaining timeless in wearability.
