Empire Pullover

The Empire sweater is a stunning modern interpretation of the classic gansey sweater, designed with a contemporary flair that elevates this traditional garment. With set-in sleeves, the Empire offers a tailored fit that contrasts with the boxier silhouette often associated with standard gansey designs.
