Tekla is inspired by the elegant women of the Belle Époque on the Côte Fleurie, as well as the sweet memory of a cardigan that the designer's grandmother knitted for her. Its wave stitch evokes the movement of the sea. Made in Normandy, France, from French sheep wool, specifically Arles merino, this piece is of noble finesse, featuring exceptional antibacterial and thermoregulating properties. It is a spectacular version of the striped marine sweater in natural, undyed colors. To achieve a dense and fluffy texture, six strands were combined during knitting, resulting in a weight of about 700 grams for the cardigan. Like a jacket, Tekla has slightly marked shoulders with delicate gathers. Its slightly cropped A-line cut, pagoda sleeves, and small padded shoulders, combined with the wave stitch, give it the elegance of a very feminine couture jacket.

Take your measurements at the narrowest part of the waist and at the widest part of the chest. Consult the size guide to determine which size corresponds to your measurements. If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger or smaller one depending on the desired fit. The Tekla cardigan has a generous volume, designed to be worn over blouses. You can size down if you prefer a more fitted look. Like any knitwear, it is naturally stretchy and flexible. It is recommended to store it folded in a wardrobe rather than hanging it to prevent any risk of deformation. Size 1 fits sizes 34/36 or 38 snugly. Size 2 fits sizes 38/40 or 42 snugly.
