Cardigans from Emmy Design
Emmy Design is a Swedish brand from 2010 that focuses on knitwear in a vintage style, especially with inspiration from the 1940s. IN Mondo Kaos there are three things we know work for everyone and one of them is Emmy Designs cardigans.
Here Mondo Kaos we have been running Emmy Design since 2011.
Most of Emmy's cardigans are knitted in 100% merino wool - The advantage of wool is that it is warm and breathable, and it stays fresh for a long time, which means you can cut down on the frequency of washing. Wool may seem itchy to some, but Emmy has solved this problem by mercerizing the wool. This process makes the wool very soft and also gives the surface a light shine.
The bestseller The Ice Skater cardigan - signature in 100% wool
The Ice Skater cardigan has slightly full shoulders, V-shaped neckline and horizontal cable knit which ends at the waist. The short shape makes the cardigan look simple and elegant, and it is one of our most popular styles among all the clothes in the store, because it fits everything perfectly.
