Lotusland Cardigan
The Lotusland cardigan is inspired by the serene beauty of a tranquil pool of water adorned with vibrant pink flowers and cheerful yellow centers. This exquisite design places an emphasis on texture through broken ribbing and garter stripes, creating a visually stunning piece. The delicate lace detail adds an additional layer of depth and interest, showcased beautifully in the all-over pattern featured on the back.
