Leidi Cardi

Product Details

The Leidi Cardi is a more fitted alternative to heavier knits and sweaters and a perfect way to introduce colour when layering. Designed to be worn open in the style of a neat bolero, the cropped proportion and lightweight fabrication make this style an ideal transeasonal piece. Consider wearing over a light tank for brisk days or under a structured coat or jacket for the cooler months.

Material

80% Cotton, 20% Silk

This sheer, lightweight fabric is composed of silk and cotton. Silk adds a slight shine to the fabric surface while the cotton offers a soft structure and comfortable breathability.

The natural fibres in this blend are renewable and biodegradable.
